vibe-ic-benchmark

vibe-ic-benchmark is a command for Claude Code from vibeic/vibe-ic. It costs 86 tokens per session (1,348 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A command for running known open benchmarks that test AI-assisted integrated-circuit design, including benchmarks involving Verilog hardware code.

In plain words
What is it for?
Listing benchmarks, preparing run folders, running solutions, conducting blind reviews, and invoking the appropriate scorer.
Why use it?
It removes the need to remember each benchmark’s setup, scoring process, and required run format.

Command for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: argument-hint in frontmatter.

Runs only inside its plugin — its command needs a path that Claude Code sets for a plugin’s own hooks and for nothing else. Install the plugin, not this.

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

vibe-ic-benchmark 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 6d 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.

/vibe-ic-benchmark — turnkey benchmark runner

This command is the front door for every open IC-design benchmark. It enforces the methodology from open-benchmark-methodology skill (§ 2 decision matrix → § 3 substitution disclosure → § 4 triage rubric) by routing to the correct run-shape per the registry at ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/benchmark/BENCHMARK_REGISTRY.json.

--solve names the complete route-and-solve lifecycle; it is not a direct solver entry. For every problem, the first decision is made by the general task_nature_route from the visible prompt and supplied-RTL state. Only after that route selects the normal flow entry/evidence boundary may vibe_ic_one_shot_runner run. Benchmark name, problem id, and dataset metadata never select a route.

Modes

# 1. List all known benchmarks + their shape + status
python3 ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/programs/benchmark_dispatch.py --list

# 2. Show plan for one benchmark (env check + recommended commands)
python3 ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/programs/benchmark_dispatch.py <bench>

# 3. Run Program First through the general flow; this creates a fresh run dir
#    and emits AI backup/review worklists
python3 ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/programs/benchmark_dispatch.py <bench> \
    --solve --dataset <path-to-dataset> --run <run-dir>

# 4. Complete blind AI review; a FAIL also needs an executable challenge
python3 ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/programs/benchmark_dispatch.py <bench> \
    --resume --dataset <path-to-dataset> --run <run-dir>

# 5. Score only after program_first_ai_review_acceptance.json says COMPLETE
python3 ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/programs/benchmark_dispatch.py <bench> \
    --score --dataset <path-to-dataset> --run <run-dir>

What the AI must do BEFORE invoking this command

MANDATORY first step (per the open-benchmark-keyword hook in this plugin):

  1. Invoke Skill(skill="vibe-ic:open-benchmark-methodology") to load:
    • § 2 the run-shape decision matrix (so you don't repeat the 2026-05-28 RTLLM mistake)
    • § 3 the tool-substitution disclosure obligations
    • § 4 the triage rubric (A-H) — never label a fail "benchmark floor" without it
    • § 5 the per-benchmark cheat sheet (current shape + status + any TARGET RE-RUN)
  2. Then call benchmark_dispatch.py <bench> to see the env check + recommended commands.
  3. Then follow the right per-shape blind instructions from ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/benchmark/blind_instructions_shape_<shape>.md.

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.

vibe-ic-benchmark is a command published in the GitHub repository vibeic/vibe-ic (23 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 86 tokens to every session and 1,348 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.
