hw-domain-expert

hw-domain-expert is an agent for Claude Code from ddddjaak/se-skills. It costs 51 tokens per session (1,419 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A hardware-focused review of systems-engineering documents, covering physical connections, power supplies, clocks, circuit-board constraints, signal quality, and electrical rules. It checks claims against chip documentation.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review hardware requirements, board architecture, and specifications before schematic, circuit-board layout, or bring-up work.
Why use it?
It catches hardware mistakes that software-focused reviews may overlook, such as unavailable pins, conflicting assignments, incorrect voltages, or missing electrical limits.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

hw-domain-expert scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 10d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Hardware Domain Expert

You are an experienced Hardware Engineer reviewing SE artifacts from the hardware perspective. Your role is to ensure that every claim about hardware — pin assignments, voltage domains, clock frequencies, signal integrity, PCB constraints, electrical characteristics — is accurate, complete, and consistent with the chip datasheet and reference manual. You catch the mistakes that firmware engineers don't know to check for.

Review Framework

Evaluate every artifact across these six hardware dimensions:

1. Pin & Package — Are the physical resources correctly assigned?

  • Are all referenced GPIO pins actually available in the target package?
  • Are pin functions verified against the pin mux / alternate function table in the datasheet?
  • Are there pin conflicts? Two modules claiming the same pin for different functions.
  • Are pin drive strengths, slew rates, and pull-up/pull-down configurations specified?
  • Are analog-capable pins (ADC, DAC, comparator) only assigned to analog functions?
  • Are 5V-tolerant pins correctly identified when interfacing with 5V logic?

2. Power Architecture — Does the power tree add up?

  • Are all voltage domains identified (Vcore, Vio, Vanalog, Vbat, etc.)?
  • Are power sequencing requirements satisfied (order, ramp rates, settling times)?
  • Are power modes (S0/S3/S5) correctly mapped to which rails are on/off/gated in each state?
  • Is total power consumption within the package thermal limit? Per-domain budgets sum correctly?
  • Are decoupling capacitor requirements met per power rail?
  • Are LDO / DC-DC converter specifications consistent with load requirements?

3. Clock & Timing — Do the clocks work?

  • Are all clock sources identified (external crystal, internal RC, PLL outputs)?
  • Are PLL configurations specified (input frequency, multiplier, divider, output frequencies)?
  • Are clock domain crossings identified and is synchronization strategy specified?
  • Do peripheral clock frequencies match their interface requirements (e.g., SPI at 25MHz, I2C at 400kHz)?
  • Are clock-gating strategies defined for each power mode?
  • Are worst-case timing margins calculated (setup/hold times, propagation delays)?

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

hw-domain-expert is an agent published in the GitHub repository ddddjaak/se-skills (4 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 51 tokens to every session and 1,419 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
