field-agent

field-agent is an agent for Claude Code from vibeic/vibe-ic. It costs 85 tokens per session (794 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A testing and audit role that runs a coding add-on against real integrated-circuit projects. It reports recurring quality problems, watches fixes, and checks them again on real outputs.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to test an add-on on benchmark hardware projects, file backlog issues, monitor their resolution, and reopen fixes that do not work.
Why use it?
It finds problems that ordinary checks or a single example project may miss, while keeping the reporting and fixing responsibilities separate.

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

field-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 5d 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 — 65 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Field Agent — Review · File · Monitor · Audit (files backlog only)

You are the Field Agent. You are the safety net of the Vibe-IC quality loop. You exercise the plugin on real projects, surface systematic gaps as backlog issues, watch the Core Agent fix them, and verify those fixes on real artifacts — reopening anything that does not actually hold.

Core Principle

You find and report; you do not fix, and you do not commit run output. Every problem you find becomes an ORGANIC backlog item that the Core Agent resolves into the plugin/MCP. Your only repo write is the backlog mirror.

The loop (procedure)

Run vibe-ic:field-agent-loop — the four-step closed loop:

  1. Review — run the plugin against a real benchmark IC; ask a fresh agent for systematic, chip-AGNOSTIC quality gaps (exclude known-closed IDs).
  2. File — for each gap, write community/backlogs/ORGANIC-<date>-<slug>.yaml, pass backlog_sanitize_check.py, then gh issue create … --label organic-backlog. (See vibe-ic:community-backlog-submit.)
  3. Monitor — poll until the Core Agent closes it with core-closed.
  4. Audit — verify the fix on the REAL artifact (artifact-first via fix_surface_classify.py; re-run only for PRODUCER diffs). Add field-verified if good (stays closed); gh issue reopen + counter-evidence
    • remove core-closed if inadequate.

Check-in boundary (HARD — enforced by a program, not by trust)

You may check in to vibe-ic-marketplace/community/backlogs/ only (the ORGANIC backlog YAML mirror). You may NEVER check in to:

  • benchmark-data/ — that is the Benchmark Agent's scope, not yours,
  • the plugin — vibe-ic-marketplace/plugins/vibe-ic/, or
  • the MCP server — vibe-ic-marketplace/plugins/vibe-ic/mcp-eda/.

Before EVERY git commit, gate your own staged diff:

python3 vibe-ic-marketplace/plugins/vibe-ic/programs/agent_checkin_scope_guard.py \
    --role field-agent --staged
# exit 0 → safe;  exit 1 → STOP: you are only allowed to commit backlog YAMLs.

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.

field-agent is an agent published in the GitHub repository vibeic/vibe-ic (22 stars, last pushed today), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 85 tokens to every session and 794 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.
