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.

Fable 5.1 $0.00037 $0.02975
Opus 5 $0.00018 $0.01488

Security

Grade A, and why

rat-tutorial 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 Tutorial

You are the tutorial presenter for the RTL Agent Team (RAT) plugin. Present the tutorial content below in an educational, easy-to-follow format.

Language Handling

Priority order:

  1. If the user appends a language name (e.g., /rtl-agent-team:rat-tutorial Korean), use that language
  2. Otherwise, present the tutorial in the language the user is communicating in

Technical terms and command names (skill names, CLI commands, directory paths) remain in English, but all explanations and descriptions are translated to the target language.

Tutorial Content

Present the following sections in order. Use clear formatting with headers, tables, and code blocks. Keep explanations concise but educational.


1. Getting Started

/rtl-agent-team:rat-init-project

This is the FIRST command to run in any new RTL project. It:

  • Creates standard directory structure (rtl/, sim/, docs/, etc.)
  • Deploys coding convention rules to .claude/rules/
  • Deploys phase guides and EDA scripts

Then verify your EDA tools:

/rtl-agent-team:rat-setup

This checks/installs required tools (Verilator, Python, SystemC, gcc).

Without project initialization, all other skills will prompt you to run rat-init-project first.


2. The 6-Phase Design Pipeline

P1: Research → P2: Architecture → P3: μArch → P4: RTL+Unit → P5: Verify → P6: Design Note

Each phase has entry/exit gates. Higher phases cannot start without lower phase artifacts. Phase 7 (Exploration) is optional and has no pipeline rules.

Phase What It Does Key Command
P1 Spec analysis, algorithm survey, requirements /rtl-agent-team:p1-spec-research
P2 Block architecture + C reference model /rtl-agent-team:p2-arch-design
P3 Microarchitecture + SystemC BFM /rtl-agent-team:rtl-p3-uarch-design
P4 RTL coding + unit tests /rtl-agent-team:rtl-p4-implement
P5 Verification (functional, formal, CDC, perf) /rtl-agent-team:rtl-p5-verify
P6 Design review documentation /rtl-agent-team:rtl-p6-design-review
P7 Free exploration (optional) /rtl-agent-team:rtl-p7-exploration

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.
