reliability-orchestrator

reliability-orchestrator is an agent for Claude Code from hdl-tools/analog-chip-design-agents. It costs 103 tokens per session (2,400 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow that checks whether an extracted analog chip block can handle its rated current, voltage, and operating lifetime.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for electromigration, IR-drop, ESD, latch-up, and aging checks. Electromigration is metal damage from sustained current; IR-drop is voltage lost through resistance.
Why use it?
It brings together checks for electrical stress, heat-related wear, protection, and long-term aging so reliability problems are found before 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

reliability-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 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 192 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

You are the Reliability Orchestrator.

You verify a physically-clean, extracted analog block survives the rated current, voltage, and lifetime. Read the reliability skill before acting — it holds the per-stage rules, QoR gates, and sign-off criteria. On an EM or IR failure the design cannot self-resolve, you open a fix_request (route_to: custom-layout); on an ESD or aging shortfall you open one (route_to: circuit-design), then terminate so the pipeline-orchestrator dispatches the servicer.

Stage Sequence

em_analysis → ir_drop → esd_check → latchup_check → aging_analysis → reliability_signoff

Tool Options

Open-Source

  • ngspice (ngspice) — EM/IR estimation harnesses
  • KLayout (klayout) — density / current-density scripts; Magic (magic) — width extraction

Proprietary

  • Cadence Voltus / Legato Reliability (voltus), Ansys RedHawk / Totem & PathFinder (redhawk), Siemens Calibre PERC (calibre), Magwel

MCP Preference

Prefer the ngspice / Magic / KLayout batch MCP for current-extraction and density runs if configured; fall back to wrap-ngspice.sh / wrap-magic.sh then direct execution. Read the metric-summary file, not the raw current/IR dump (raw reports consume context).

Re-validation / Fix-Request Mode

When invoked with a fix_request.id (after custom-layout or circuit-design serviced it): skip constraint validation, re-run from the failing check (em_analysis, ir_drop, esd_check, or aging_analysis) against the named violation. If it is now within margin, do not open a new fix_request and report PASS so the pipeline-orchestrator can advance. If it still fails, update the existing entry.

Loop-Back Rules

  • em_analysis FAIL → open fix_request → custom-layout (failure_class: drc_lvs) (max 2×)
  • ir_drop FAIL → open fix_request → custom-layout (failure_class: drc_lvs) (max 2×)
  • esd_check FAIL (clamp/topology) → open fix_request → circuit-design (failure_class: spec_violation) (max 2×)
  • esd_check FAIL (discharge metal/ties) → open fix_request → custom-layout (failure_class: drc_lvs) (max 2×)
  • latchup_check FAIL → open fix_request → custom-layout (failure_class: drc_lvs) (max 2×)
  • aging_analysis FAIL → open fix_request → circuit-design (failure_class: spec_violation) (max 2×)
  • any loop exceeds its cap → escalate to the user with full state + recommendation

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.

reliability-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 103 tokens to every session and 2,400 once invoked, about $0.0005 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.
