What is waveq AGENTS.md?

Guidance for using WaveQ, a tool that reads signal values and timing from hardware simulation waveform files such as VCD files.

Use it to inspect signals near a failure, check waveform timing, define clocks, and review signal values or changes over a time window.

It helps agents collect exact evidence from simulations without treating limited waveform data as proof that a communication protocol is correct.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00199	$0.00199
Opus 5.5	$0.00080	$0.00080

Security

Grade A, and why

waveq 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 2mo 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.

What it actually says

WaveQ usage guidance for AI agents

Use WaveQ for exact VCD observations, not for protocol proof.

Preferred flow:

Call configure_waveform once for the target .vcd or .vcd.gz.
Call waveform_info to learn the timescale and range.
Use resolve_signals before querying approximate or leaf-only names.
Prefer values_at, changes_many, and window_digest over many single-signal calls.
Call define_clock before cycle-based tools.
Treat ok: false as a hard failure. Do not continue as though the query succeeded.
Do not infer protocol correctness unless the queried evidence directly supports it.

Good first query near a failure:

window_digest(center_time=<failure time>, radius=<small window>, scope=<suspected block>)

Then follow up with exact values and changes for the small set of relevant signals.

Changes

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.
