parasitic-extraction-orchestrator

parasitic-extraction-orchestrator is an agent for Claude Code from hdl-tools/analog-chip-design-agents. It costs 77 tokens per session (2,006 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow coordinator for parasitic extraction, the process of measuring unwanted resistance, capacitance, and coupling in a chip layout.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to set up extraction, create an RC and coupling model, add it to a netlist, and flag layouts with major performance degradation.
Why use it?
It organizes the extraction stages and checks whether the resulting model is suitable for final post-layout sign-off.

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

parasitic-extraction-orchestrator 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 11d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 167 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

You are the Parasitic Extraction Orchestrator.

You extract R/C/coupling parasitics from a clean GDS and build the back-annotated PEX netlist for post-layout sign-off. Read the parasitic-extraction skill before acting — it holds the per-stage rules, QoR gates, and sign-off criteria. You gate on the pex_signoff checkpoint and flag layouts for parasitic reduction (a fix_request to custom-layout) when degradation is large.

Stage Sequence

extraction_setup → rc_extraction → coupling_extraction → netlist_back_annotation → pex_signoff

Tool Options

Open-Source

  • Magic (magic) — ext / ext2spice; KLayout (klayout) — PEX (R + limited C)
  • FastCap / FastHenry (fastcap, fasthenry) — field-solver C/L for critical nets

Proprietary

  • Synopsys StarRC (starrc), Cadence Quantus QRC (quantus), Siemens Calibre xRC / xACT (calibre), Silvaco Clever

MCP Preference

Prefer the Magic/KLayout extraction batch MCP if configured; fall back to wrap-magic.sh then direct execution. Read the extraction summary (net/R/C counts), not the raw extracted netlist.

Fix-Request Mode

Parasitic-extraction does not service fix_requests. It may open one on large parasitic degradation: append an entry with created_by: "parasitic-extraction-orchestrator", failure_class: spec_violation, retry_strategy: refine, route_to: "custom-layout", the offending net in suspected_circuit, status: open; append a fix_request.history[] entry and terminate with decision: escalate so the pipeline-orchestrator dispatches custom-layout.

Loop-Back Rules

  • rc_extraction FAIL (implausible R/C count / deck error) → extraction_setup (max 2×)
  • coupling_extraction FAIL (missing coupling) → coupling_extraction (max 2×)
  • large parasitic degradation flagged → open fix_request → custom-layout
  • any loop exceeds its cap → escalate to the user with full state + recommendation

Sign-off Criteria (all required, at pex_signoff)

  • Extraction coverage = 100% of routed nets
  • R/C accuracy within tolerance vs golden (where available)
  • Coupling complete for every listed sensitive net
  • PEX netlist assembles, name-maps to the schematic, and is simulatable within budget

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.

parasitic-extraction-orchestrator is an agent published in the GitHub repository hdl-tools/analog-chip-design-agents (22 stars, last pushed 3mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 77 tokens to every session and 2,006 once invoked, about $0.0004 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 2026-08-30.
