pyslang-mcp AGENTS.md

pyslang-mcp AGENTS.md is an instructions file for Codex, OpenCode from ariklapid/pyslang-mcp. It costs 1,439 tokens per session, scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

Project instructions for an MCP server that gives AI systems read-only, compiler-based understanding of Verilog and SystemVerilog hardware projects. It can parse source files, inspect design units and hierarchy, find symbols, and trace connections.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them when developing or contributing to the server's parsing, diagnostics, hierarchy, symbol-search, assignment, connectivity, preprocessing, and project-summary features.
Why use it?
They define a limited, documented tool set so the server analyses hardware code without being mistaken for a simulator or electronic-design runtime.

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

pyslang-mcp AGENTS.md 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 170 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

AGENTS.md

This file is the public contributor and agent guidance for pyslang-mcp. Read this first, then read README.md, CONTRIBUTING.md, and REMOTE_DEPLOYMENT.md when the task touches deployment.

Mission

Build a professional, open-source MCP server that gives AI systems compiler-backed, read-only understanding of Verilog and SystemVerilog projects through pyslang.

The product is a semantic analysis MCP, not an EDA runtime. Keep scope tight and technically honest.

Product Scope

The public tool surface is:

  • pyslang_parse_files
  • pyslang_parse_filelist
  • pyslang_get_diagnostics
  • pyslang_list_design_units
  • pyslang_describe_design_unit
  • pyslang_get_hierarchy
  • pyslang_find_symbol
  • pyslang_find_member
  • pyslang_get_assignments
  • pyslang_trace_connectivity
  • pyslang_get_instance_connections
  • pyslang_summarize_diagnostics_by_code
  • pyslang_dump_syntax_tree_summary
  • pyslang_preprocess_files
  • pyslang_get_project_summary

Planned tools are not part of the public tool surface until implemented, tested, and documented.

Current Implementation Plan

Issue #15 Verilog analysis work has a public-safe implementation plan at docs/superpowers/plans/2026-06-11-verilog-mcp-functions.md.

When executing that plan:

  • follow the plan task-by-task and update checkboxes as work completes
  • implement pyslang_find_member, pyslang_get_assignments, pyslang_trace_connectivity, pyslang_get_instance_connections, and pyslang_summarize_diagnostics_by_code
  • do not implement pyslang_parse_generated_cache as part of that plan
  • do not advertise planned tools as released behavior until the code, tests, docs, and MCP protocol smoke coverage are complete
  • preserve the read-only, project-root, bounded-output, and cache invariants in this file

Non-goals:

  • simulation
  • synthesis
  • waveform viewing
  • testbench generation
  • RTL editing or refactoring through MCP tools
  • remote code execution
  • full IDE or language-server parity

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.
