cdc-tool-profiles

cdc-tool-profiles is a skill for Claude Code from babyworm/rtl-agent-team. It costs 20 tokens per session (1,377 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An internal reference for checking tool outputs during design reviews. It combines measured results, such as violation counts and complexity, with an agent’s judgement about design intent and risk.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for early CI checks, pre-signoff screening, and phase-gate decisions in hardware design reviews.
Why use it?
It helps review gates use both numerical evidence and human-like assessment, so clean metrics do not hide architectural concerns and concerns are documented when metrics conflict.

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

cdc-tool-profiles 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.

CDC & Structural Analysis Tool Profiles

Quantitative + Qualitative Gate Philosophy

svlens provides quantitative measurements (scores, violation counts, complexity metrics) to add consistency to the LLM's qualitative judgment. Phase gate decisions require BOTH:

  1. Quantitative: svlens tool reports (JSON) — violation counts, health scores, complexity metrics
  2. Qualitative: LLM assessment of design intent, context, and risk

Neither alone is sufficient. A zero-violation svlens report does not auto-pass a gate if the LLM identifies architectural concerns. Conversely, the LLM cannot override quantitative violations without documented justification (waiver with rationale).

When commercial tools are available, they serve as the signoff authority. svlens provides supplementary crosscheck data — useful for early-stage CI, pre-signoff screening, and adding quantitative rigor to LLM-driven reviews.

Common Contract

  • Prefer wrapper: lint/scripts/run_cdc.sh
  • Output classes:
    • VIOLATION
    • CAUTION
    • CONVENTION
    • INFO
    • WAIVED
  • Gate fail when unwaived VIOLATION exists.

Open-Source Baseline: svlens (https://github.com/babyworm/svlens)

svlens is a unified structural analysis toolkit with three modes sharing one elaboration:

svlens cdc — Clock Domain Crossing Analysis

  • lint/scripts/run_cdc.sh --tool structural --top <top> -f rtl/filelist_top.f --outdir lint/cdc (structural mode auto-runs svlens crosscheck when installed)
  • lint/scripts/run_cdc.sh --tool svlens --top <top> -f rtl/filelist_top.f --outdir lint/cdc (standalone mode)
  • 8 synchronizer patterns (2-FF, 3-FF, gray, handshake, async FIFO, MUX, pulse, Johnson)
  • Quality checks: reconvergence, glitch path, fan-out-before-sync, reset sync, non-2^N FIFO
  • Outputs: md + json + sdc + waiver yaml
  • Key JSON fields: summary.violations, summary.cautions, per-crossing severity + sync_type

svlens conn — Port Connectivity Analysis

  • svlens conn --format all --top <top> -f rtl/filelist_top.f -o sim/conn/reports
  • Width mismatch, type mismatch, dangling output, undriven input detection
  • Protocol completeness (--check-protocol), naming convention (--check-convention)
  • Expected connectivity validation (--expect connectivity_spec.yaml)
  • Key JSON fields: analysis.overall_score, analysis.module_health, summary.errors

cdc-tool-profiles is a skill published in the GitHub repository babyworm/rtl-agent-team (51 stars, last pushed 16d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 20 tokens to every session and 1,377 once invoked, about $0.0001 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 2026-09-03.
