Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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 | $0.00100 | $0.00899 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00050 | $0.00449 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00020 | $0.00180 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00010 | $0.00090 |
Grade A, and why
autodesign 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 — 74 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Autonomous PCB design (eda-agent)
Drive a full spec-to-board design by looping the server-side state machine.
The server owns sequencing, gates, and durable state, so you never memorize
the workflow: you call design_next_action, do what it says, log the
result, and repeat. A weaker model produces a plainer board, never a broken
pipeline, because the integrity lives server-side.
Before you start
- Confirm the editor is actually answering, with
app_pingon Altium oreasyeda_pingon EasyEDA. Ping, notapp_get_status: status reports that the process exists and that something once called attach, and neither of those proves the bridge replies. If it does not answer, tell the user how to start it; don't guess. - Read
design_get_disciplineonce: the hard rules and the DesignPlan schema. Or calldesign_autonomy_guidefor the full protocol + the 13 stages with their tools and exit gates.
The loop
design_session_start(requirement)opens the durable journal. Keep the returnedsession_id; every later call takes it.- If a project is open or will be modified, checkpoint first so the whole
run is revertible in one step:
app_checkpoint("before autonomous run")on Altium,easyeda_checkpointon EasyEDA. - Loop:
design_next_action(session_id)and act onstatus:- proceed / retry: do the stage using its
suggested_toolsuntil theexit_gateis met, thendesign_session_log(event="stage_result", stage=<stage>, status="ok"). If you cannot finish without the user, logstatus="blocked"with a question and stop. - blocked: put
open_questionto the user; when answered,design_session_log(event="resolved", text=<answer>)and continue. - complete: the 13 stages are done; review outputs with the user.
- proceed / retry: do the stage using its
- Checkpoint again before each high-risk mutating stage:
sch_to_pcb,routing,pours_tuning. - Long engine runs (routing a dense board) can exceed the tool timeout;
start them with
design_job_startand polldesign_job_status/design_job_result.
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.

autodesign is a skill published in the GitHub repository salitronic/eda-agent (163 stars, last pushed 3d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 100 tokens to every session and 899 once invoked, about $0.0005 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.
