legacy-circuit-mockups

legacy-circuit-mockups is a skill for Codex from PracticalSwan/agent-skills. It costs 48 tokens per session (3,207 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A canvas-based visual tool for drawing breadboard circuit layouts and retro-computing schematics. A breadboard is a reusable board for arranging electronic components and wires without soldering.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create mockups and diagrams featuring parts such as 6502 processors, 555 timers, EEPROMs, and 7400-series logic gates.
Why use it?
It makes component placement and wiring easier to understand when working with vintage computer or electronics designs.

These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →

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

legacy-circuit-mockups 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 4d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/circuit-component-registry.js), 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.

Legacy Circuit Mockups

A skill for creating breadboard circuit mockups and visual diagrams for retro computing and electronics projects. This skill leverages HTML5 Canvas drawing mechanisms to render interactive circuit layouts featuring vintage components like the 6502 microprocessor, 555 timer ICs, EEPROMs, and 7400-series logic gates.

  • Leverage native parallel subagent dispatch and 200k+ context windows where available.

When to Use This Skill

Use symptom -> action triggers: when one matches, apply this skill and verify with the protocol below.

  • User asks to create a breadboard layout or circuit mockup
  • User wants visualized component placement for legacy electronics
  • User needs diagrams for 6502, 555 timer, EEPROM, VIA, or 7400-series builds
  • User asks for educational electronics visuals or wiring diagrams
  • User is following retro-computing tutorials and needs visual references

Prerequisites

  • Understanding of component pinouts from bundled reference files

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.

legacy-circuit-mockups is a skill published in the GitHub repository PracticalSwan/agent-skills (14 stars, last pushed 4d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 48 tokens to every session and 3,207 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 2026-09-03.
