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 | $0.00057 | $0.02677 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00023 | $0.01071 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00011 | $0.00535 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00006 | $0.00268 |
Grade A, and why
analyze-power-nets 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 3d 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 — 224 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Analyze Power Nets
When this skill is invoked, perform a full AI-powered analysis of the PCB to identify power nets and recommend track widths.
Step 1: Load and Extract Components
import sys
sys.path.insert(0, "py_tools")
from analyze_power_paths import (
analyze_pcb, get_components_needing_analysis, classify_component,
trace_power_paths, get_power_net_recommendations, format_analysis_report,
ComponentRole
)
components, pcb_data = analyze_pcb("path/to/file.kicad_pcb")
unknown = get_components_needing_analysis(components)
Step 2: Auto-Classify Obvious Components
These are already handled automatically - no AI needed (_auto_classify_component;
a prefix counts only when a digit follows it, e.g. R12, FB3, except SW and
LED):
| Prefix | Role | Reason |
|---|---|---|
any part with a power_out pin |
POWER_SOURCE | Regulator output (checked first) |
| R (resistor) | SHUNT | Pull-ups, voltage dividers (default; reclassify a series power resistor) |
| C (capacitor) | SHUNT | Decoupling cap: only a two-terminal cap with one side on a GND net. Any other cap stays UNKNOWN (could be a series cap) |
| L (inductor) | PASS_THROUGH | Series filter element |
| FB (ferrite bead) | PASS_THROUGH | Series filter element |
| F (fuse) | PASS_THROUGH | Series protection |
| LED | CURRENT_SINK | Consumes current |
| SW, S (switch) | PASS_THROUGH | Power switching |
| U (IC) | CURRENT_SINK | Current unknown: counted as 100 mA until you classify it |
| VR (regulator) | POWER_SOURCE | Current unknown: counted as 100 mA until you classify it |
Step 3: AI Analysis for Unknown Components
unknown holds only the UNKNOWN parts (diodes, transistors, J/P/TB/CN
connectors, caps that are not plain decoupling, anything unmatched). ICs and
VR regulators are already auto-classified, but with no current rating, so every
one counts as 100 mA in the recommendations: look them up too (Step 4) and
re-classify them with current_rating_ma.
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.

analyze-power-nets is a skill published in the GitHub repository drandyhaas/KiCadRoutingTools (706 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 57 tokens to every session and 2,677 once invoked, about $0.0002 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 2026-08-30.
