simulation

simulation is a skill for Claude Code from chipweaver/veripower. It costs 29 tokens per session (1,011 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A UVM simulation skill turns an approved hardware verification plan into a running testbench and executes its regression and coverage checks. UVM is a standard way to organize automated tests for digital hardware.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for building and running hardware testbenches from an approved plan, then completing simulation and coverage runs.
Why use it?
It provides a controlled way to run the planned checks and determine whether the module meets its verification goals.

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

simulation 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 1mo ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 16 executable files (scripts/sim/__init__.py, scripts/sim/__main__.py, scripts/sim/bootstrap.py, …), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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 — 85 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Functional Simulation

Establish whether the implementation meets the applicable behavior and coverage requirements. The stage owner assesses source, reports and review evidence to reach the conclusion. Implement or delegate focused work; use an independent reviewer for check adequacy.

Read {workdir}/dispatch.json for the current inputs and work scope. intent, requirements, plan, scaffold, check_hints, spec and rtl provide original requirements, verification strategy, boundary and implementation. Write under {workdir}; upstream artifacts are read-only. Use the original algorithm/specification as the reference. Inspecting RTL to diagnose a failure must not turn the implementation into its own expected behavior. See artifacts.md for report locations and which diagnostic files are published or retained per run.

Build and check

Continue from carried TB and results, changing what the current inputs or failures require. Use env-task-contract.md for setup and materialization details, and authoring-checks.md for check semantics. If delegating, supply the relevant input paths and work scope; collect the actual results before acting on them.

Compile changed sources, run appropriate smoke checks and validate materialization. Missing test results or a failed tool command require investigation; neither identifies the repair owner by itself. Repair local faults and retry affected work. Return an upstream defect with evidence when it cannot be repaired within this stage.

Have the TB reviewed using check-review-task-contract.md. Assess all findings by their evidence and acceptance impact, including those labeled non-blocking. Validate repairs and obtain independent reassessment of changed checks or disputed findings. Retain the review record and report incomplete reviews or unresolved violations at closure.

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.

simulation is a skill published in the GitHub repository chipweaver/veripower (10 stars, last pushed 7d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 29 tokens to every session and 1,011 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5.5. 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 2026-08-31.
