crc-checksum-integration

crc-checksum-integration is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from easyzoom/aix-skills. It costs 36 tokens per session (650 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for adding or checking CRCs and other checksums, which are calculations used to detect damaged or incorrectly transmitted data in embedded systems.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for CRC or checksum work in devices and protocols such as Modbus, CAN, UART packets, storage records, boot images, and over-the-air updates.
Why use it?
It helps prevent mismatches caused by differing algorithm settings, byte order, or the range of data being checked.

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

crc-checksum-integration 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 11d 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.

CRC Checksum Integration

Overview

Use this skill to integrate CRCs and checksums by making the exact algorithm parameters explicit. Most CRC bugs come from two sides using the same name for different init, reflection, xorout, byte order, or covered range.

When To Use

Use this skill when:

  • The user needs CRC-8, CRC-16, CRC-32, additive checksum, Fletcher, Adler, or protocol frame validation.
  • The issue involves mismatched CRC values, boot image validation, Modbus, CAN, UART packets, storage records, or OTA packages.
  • The target uses hardware CRC units, DMA, endian-sensitive protocols, or streaming updates.

Do not use this skill for cryptographic authentication. Use mbedtls-integration, tinycrypt-integration, or micro-ecc-integration when adversarial tampering matters.

First Questions

Ask for:

  • Algorithm name plus polynomial, width, init, refin, refout, xorout, and check value if known.
  • Exact byte range covered, header/trailer inclusion, padding, and endian order.
  • Whether the implementation is table-driven, bitwise, hardware accelerated, or streaming.
  • Known-good sample input and expected output from the peer device or specification.
  • Current mismatch and where it is observed.

Integration Checklist

  1. Write the full CRC tuple. Do not rely on names like CRC-16 unless the parameters are specified.

  2. Verify with a golden vector. Test 123456789 or a protocol-provided frame before using live data.

  3. Freeze byte coverage. Define start offset, length, skipped fields, padding, escaping, and final byte order.

  4. Match streaming behavior. The incremental API must preserve state exactly across chunks and resets.

  5. Compare hardware and software. Hardware CRC units often need byte reversal, word packing, or final xor handling.

  6. Add negative tests. Flip one bit in payload and metadata to prove the check actually fails.

Common Failures

  • Wrong reflection settings for the named CRC variant.
  • Including the CRC field itself in the covered range.
  • Feeding words into a hardware CRC in host endian instead of wire order.
  • Using a checksum where collision resistance or authenticity is required.
  • Resetting incremental CRC state between chunks.
  • Comparing printed hex values with opposite byte order.

crc-checksum-integration is a skill published in the GitHub repository easyzoom/aix-skills (31 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 36 tokens to every session and 650 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 2026-08-30.
