rtl-agent-team: Instructions file for Claude Code

CLAUDE.md

rtl-agent-team CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from babyworm/rtl-agent-team. It costs 7,644 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Repository instructions for a Claude Code plugin that coordinates AI agents and skills for designing SystemVerilog silicon components. RTL means the code-like description of digital hardware used to create chips.

In plain words
What is it for?
Building or maintaining the plugin's agents, skills, hooks, and prompt-injection system for the silicon-design workflow.
Why use it?
They define the plugin's identity, language requirements, and staged design process for a domain where hardware mistakes can be costly.

Instructions file for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: SessionStart hook event. Also seen: mentions CLAUDE.md; mentions subagents; mentions Claude Code.

This is babyworm/rtl-agent-team's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on rtl-agent-team itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything rtl-agent-team configures →

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

rtl-agent-team CLAUDE.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 7d 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.

RTL Agent Team — Claude Code Plugin for Agentic Silicon IP Design

Language Rule

All LLM-consumed documents (agents/.md, skills//SKILL.md, hook output, .claude/rules/*, CLAUDE.md guides) MUST be written in English. English is more token-efficient than Korean, and since these files are read by the LLM — not by humans — token efficiency takes priority. User-facing conversation may use Korean, but plugin prompt content must remain English-only.

IMPORTANT — Project Identity

This is a Claude Code plugin project. This is NOT a standalone application or RTL design project itself — it is a plugin that enables agentic coding for SystemVerilog-based Silicon IP design within Claude Code.

When installed as a plugin, it provides 99 specialized agents, 97 skills, 14 hooks, and dynamic prompt injection mechanisms that orchestrate the full RTL design pipeline from specification to verified silicon.

Why Agentic Coding for Silicon IP

Silicon IP design is a reliability-critical domain — a single RTL bug can cost millions in re-spin. Traditional sequential design is error-prone. This plugin addresses these challenges through:

  1. Phase-gated pipeline — 6 mandatory phases with quality gates prevent premature progression
  2. Iterative review enforcement — Higher abstraction levels require MORE review rounds (Cascading Quality principle). Phase 1 enforces 3 mandatory rounds of review; Phase 2-3 use dynamic convergence (min 2, max 5 rounds)
  3. Parallel agent execution — Specialized agents (spec-analyst, rtl-coder, func-verifier, etc.) work concurrently within each phase, spawned as subagents via the Task tool
  4. Automated verification loops — RTL changes trigger mandatory lint → TB → simulation cycles, enforced by Stop hooks (not by LLM compliance alone)
  5. Document-as-Memory — Design artifacts persist across phases and agent boundaries, enabling resumability

Plugin Runtime vs. Development Context (CRITICAL)

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.
