infrastructure

infrastructure is a skill for Claude Code from hdl-tools/analog-chip-design-agents. It costs 50 tokens per session (3,837 once invoked), scanned D, original, MIT.

Setup guidance for electronic-design-automation tools used to design analog, mixed-signal, and radio-frequency chips.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to detect EDA tools, create installation scripts, deploy wrappers that summarize simulator and layout-check output, configure tool connections, and validate the workstation.
Why use it?
It helps determine which design tools are available, prepare missing open-source tools, and check whether the environment is ready before a design workflow starts.

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 D, and why

infrastructure scanned grade D with 3 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 10d 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.

Asks for rootmediumPrivilege escalation

A mod that escalates privileges can change anything on the machine, not only the project.

1. Deploy the wrapper scripts to `plugins/infrastructure/tools/` and `chmod +x` each; on permission denied, FAIL and escalate with `sudo chmod +x`.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 258 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Skill: Infrastructure Setup

Invocation

  • If invoked by a user presenting a setup task: immediately spawn the analog-chip-design-agents:infrastructure-orchestrator agent and pass the full user request and any available context. Do not execute stages directly.
  • If invoked by the infrastructure-orchestrator mid-flow: do not spawn a new agent. Treat this file as read-only — return the requested stage rules or sign-off criteria.

Purpose

Detect open-source and proprietary analog/RF EDA tools, generate installation scripts for missing open-source tools, deploy output-filtering shell wrappers that emit compact JSON instead of raw SPICE .lis/.measure and DRC/LVS logs, configure MCP server templates, and validate the environment before any domain orchestrator begins work.

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.

infrastructure is a skill published in the GitHub repository hdl-tools/analog-chip-design-agents (22 stars, last pushed 3mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 50 tokens to every session and 3,837 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it D with 3 findings (asks for root, downloads and executes remote code, makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
