vflow

vflow is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from phamcuong21478/rtl-skills. It costs 28 tokens per session (2,981 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A workflow coordinator for RTL, the hardware description language used to design digital circuits. It checks which design phases are complete and guides work from architecture through documentation and debugging.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to scan project progress, run the architecture and design stages, pause at checkpoints, and coordinate debugging for one IP.
Why use it?
It gives one project a visible status file and coordinates the correct next step. It also manages the repeated diagnose, fix, and retest cycle when issues are found.

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

vflow 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 12d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scan.sh), 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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 178 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

RTL Flow Orchestrator

Overview

Two responsibilities:

  1. State scan — inspect project directories to determine each phase's completion for one IP, then write ./flow_status.md.
  2. Flow execution — drive the flow by invoking the right skill at the right time, pausing at checkpoints, and looping the debug-fix-retest cycle.

Input is an IP name, optionally followed by a mode keyword.

Resolve the IP name before anything else — never guess across IPs. flow_status.md and every downstream skill operate on exactly one IP.

Single-IP-repo assumption. The bundled scanner assumes the repo holds one IP: its Phase 2 and Phase 3 checks scan all of ddoc/*_req.md and rtl/ rather than scoping to <ip>_top's hierarchy. With one IP this is exact. If a repo ever holds two IPs, those two phase counts would mix submodules across IPs — scope them to the <ip>_top instantiation hierarchy before relying on the scan (see the note in scan.sh).

  • Name given → use it.
  • Not given, exactly one candidate top-level requirement .md in the project root (a .md that is not CLAUDE.md, flow_status.md, or other generated/status doc) → use it.
  • Not given, two or more candidates → stop and ask the user which IP (list the candidates). No heuristic pick; never run more than one IP per invocation.
  • Not given, no candidate → stop and report none found.

Invocation modes

Invocation Behavior
vflow [<ip>] Scan and execute (default): Step 1 → Step 2 → Step 3.
vflow [<ip>] status (also scan, --scan-only, --dry-run) Scan only: Step 1 → Step 2, present flow_status.md, then stop. Touch no file but flow_status.md; invoke no downstream skill.

Step 1 - Scan Project State

Never Read a whole .md to compute a status symbol. All status comes from existence / mtime / grep/awk counts, which the bundled scanner already does. (Enumerating RTL_BUG locations for the Step 2 open-issues display is a targeted grep of debug_summary.md, not a whole-file read — that is allowed.) Run the scanner once from the project root; do not reissue per-check commands inline:

What ships with it

1 file beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

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.

vflow is a skill published in the GitHub repository phamcuong21478/rtl-skills (13 stars, last pushed 3mo ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 28 tokens to every session and 2,981 once invoked, about $0.0001 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 2026-08-31.
