Getting it into your agent
It runs from inside its repository, so the clone comes first — what it calls does not travel with the file alone.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00107 | $0.03522 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00053 | $0.01761 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00021 | $0.00704 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00011 | $0.00352 |
Grade A, and why
rtl-acquire 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.
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 — 271 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
rtl-acquire — the RTL corpus supplier
Execute a staged, artifact-first corpus-expansion workflow for discovered RTL: acquire → expand (synth-only) → repair → validate → publish. Prefer deterministic scripts and policy files; treat the workspace ledgers and manifests as the source of truth.
For Internet-scale acquisition, use the embedded
vendor/rtl-expander/ engine. It owns safe repository discovery, immutable
revision acquisition, top/closure recovery, corpus certification, family
deduplication, and scheduler statistics. R2G consumes only a CERTIFIED
rtl-expander snapshot through
scripts/acquire/import_expander_snapshot.py; never read its live frontier,
queues, mutable manifests, or partially completed rounds directly.
Positioned upstream of the other r2g-skills: it feeds a stream of screened,
synthesized, graph-converted designs. It never runs place/route or signoff
— hand a promising design to signoff-loop for that.
The scoped-reuse contract (what this skill OWNS vs BORROWS)
OWNS (the heart — genuinely net-new for r2g):
- acquire/ — discovery/search/clone/screen of candidate RTL at corpus scale
(local
_downloadstrees, repo manifests, keyword search), RAM/macro exclusion, bundle-aware candidate CSVs, incremental scan ledgers. - corpus hygiene + publish — rtl/netlist signature dedup, repo/design quality scoring, publish eligibility gating, the merged corpus manifest.
- repair/ — deterministic frontend repair (include dirs, stubs, memory limits, template materialization) + the JSON failure casebook (journal-side).
The embedded expander is an acquisition engine, not a fifth R2G sub-skill. After its certified snapshot is imported, the existing rtl-acquire expansion, repair, graph, publish, and signoff handoff contracts remain authoritative.

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.
- 12d ago First seen · 271 lines · 107 tokens per session scan A 9f52c3de21d6
rtl-acquire is a skill published in the GitHub repository ShenShan123/r2g-skills (42 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 107 tokens to every session and 3,522 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.
