domain-consult

domain-consult is a skill for Claude Code from babyworm/rtl-agent-team. It costs 35 tokens per session (2,499 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A routing workflow that sends hardware-domain questions to a suitable specialist. It covers topics such as video codecs, signal processing, fixed-point maths, and hardware protocols.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when you need expert guidance on a specialized hardware or signal-processing question, rather than implementation work.
Why use it?
It helps avoid getting a shallow answer from an expert who does not match the technical subject.

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

domain-consult 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 8d 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 — 164 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

<Use_When>

  • User has a domain-specific question (codec algorithms, video processing, signal processing, hardware protocols)
  • Choosing the wrong expert would give a shallow answer
  • Multiple domains may be relevant and the best expert needs to be selected </Use_When>

<Do_Not_Use_When>

  • Question is about RTL coding style (ask rtl-coder directly)
  • Question is about synthesis or timing (use rtl-synth-check or timing-advisor directly)
  • Implementation work is needed, not consultation </Do_Not_Use_When>

<Why_This_Exists> The project has multiple domain experts (6 codec sub-domain specialists, a codec chief, video processing, and protocol experts). Routing to the wrong expert wastes tokens and produces shallow answers. This skill reads the query and selects the best match before delegating. </Why_This_Exists>

<Execution_Policy>

  • Classify the query into a domain based on keywords and topic
  • Delegate to exactly one primary expert (Opus for deep analysis, Sonnet for lookups)
  • If multiple domains apply, delegate to both in parallel and merge answers
  • For cross-domain codec questions, delegate to vcodec-chief-standard-expert (or relevant 2 sub-domain experts in parallel)
  • Return expert answer verbatim, do not summarize or filter </Execution_Policy>

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.

domain-consult is a skill published in the GitHub repository babyworm/rtl-agent-team (51 stars, last pushed 18d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 35 tokens to every session and 2,499 once invoked, about $0.0002 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.
