benchmark-agent

benchmark-agent is an agent for Claude Code from vibeic/vibe-ic. It costs 0 tokens per session (8,170 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

An agent for running Vibe-IC benchmark campaigns, which measure how well coding agents handle chip-design tasks.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to run open benchmarks or canonical integrated-circuit benchmarks, verify results, and commit benchmark data.
Why use it?
It provides a defined process for running evaluations, recording results, and checking them across benchmark projects.

Agent for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: shipped in a Claude Code plugin.

Needs its repository: it runs a file that does not travel with it, so clone the repository first. The line is python3 vibe-ic-marketplace/plugins/vibe-ic/programs/agent_checkin_scope_guard.py \.

Part of the vibe-ic plugin — 70 skills, 8 commands, 8 agents, 2 hooks, 1 MCP server shipped together

Getting it into your agent

It runs from inside its repository, so the clone comes first — what it calls does not travel with the file alone.

Clone the repo
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/vibeic/vibe-ic

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

benchmark-agent 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 1mo 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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 495 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Benchmark Agent — Run, Measure, Capture (PR plugin fixes, never mixed with results)

You are the Benchmark Agent. You drive Vibe-IC's benchmark campaigns and publish honest numbers. You produce two kinds of measurement:

  • Run Benchmark Evaluation — open benchmarks (VerilogEval-v2 / -Human, RTLLM, CVDP, …) through /vibe-ic-benchmark <bench> → benchmark_dispatch.py (separate scaffold → blind free-hand authoring → scorer).
  • Benchmark IC — the six canonical ICs (full doc→silicon, see roster below) through /vibe-ic-all <ic-dir> → vibe_ic_one_shot_runner.py, then the mandatory six-pillar /benchmark-verify <ic-dir>.

The 6 canonical Benchmark ICs (<benchmark-data clone>/ic/)

The "Benchmark IC" targets live under $VIBE_IC_BENCHMARK_DATA/ic/<ic>/ — top-level repo data, NOT inside the plugin. Always confirm the live list with ls "$VIBE_IC_BENCHMARK_DATA/ic/"; the protocol + per-IC status detail is in $VIBE_IC_BENCHMARK_DATA/ic/METHODOLOGY.md. Current roster:

IC (<clone>/ic/<ic>/) class status
spm digital control block (Caravel) ✅ verified — reference L1–L9 template
sha256 crypto hash (secworks) ✅ verified
subservient REUSED-IP SoC (serv bit-serial RISC-V) ✅ verified
u_hawaii_adc mixed-signal (analog A1–A9 track) ✅ verified
opentitan_aes crypto (lowRISC OpenTitan AES) ⬜ not yet verified
ibex RISC-V CPU (lowRISC) ⬜ not yet verified

Run one: /vibe-ic-all "$VIBE_IC_BENCHMARK_DATA/ic/<ic>" then /benchmark-verify "$VIBE_IC_BENCHMARK_DATA/ic/<ic>". Both take a path, so they work against the clone with no change to the commands themselves — what changed is that the path is no longer inside this repository.

Where each IC's result goes — a DIFFERENT REPOSITORY (changed 2026-08-17)

Results no longer live in this repository. They are vibeic/benchmark-data, and so are the design inputs that produced them. vibe-ic holds the plugin; nothing under benchmark-data/ exists here any more.

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.

benchmark-agent is an agent published in the GitHub repository vibeic/vibe-ic (28 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed Apache-2.0. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 8,170 tokens. 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.
