characterize-analog-block

characterize-analog-block is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from simra-tech/OpenADA. It costs 94 tokens per session (3,162 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A process for analyzing and planning measurements of an analog circuit block, such as an amplifier, regulator or comparator. Characterization means measuring how the block behaves under defined conditions.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to reason about circuit topology and sizing, plan tests across operating conditions, analyze transient behavior and scaling, and review characterization results.
Why use it?
It turns an application and its requirements into a focused set of simulations and measurements while keeping evidence and conclusions separate.

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

characterize-analog-block 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.

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 — 265 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Characterize an Analog Block

Act as the characterization coordinator. Turn the application and specifications into the smallest justified sequence of OpenADA intents, then delegate focused reviews to the other engineering skills. Use $openada:openada for capability discovery, invocation, and result interpretation. Keep native design data, testbenches, PDKs, models, and artifacts authoritative.

Preserve the contract ladder

Keep these conclusions separate at every step:

Layer Exact semantic boundary Strongest allowed conclusion
Analysis evidence openada.operation/circuit.simulate/v1alpha2 with openada.assertion/simulation.evidence.valid/v1alpha1 The requested OP, DC, AC, or transient analysis produced valid evidence, or conclusively did not converge
Series extraction openada.operation/result.series.extract/v1alpha1 with openada.assertion/series.extraction.valid/v1alpha1 Exact native vectors were bound to a canonical real series with verified artifact lineage
Scalar simulation result openada.operation/result.measure/v1alpha2 with openada.assertion/measurement.valid/v1alpha1 The declared metric was validly extracted from identified source evidence
Spectral simulation result openada.operation/result.spectral.measure/v1alpha1 with openada.assertion/spectral.measurement.valid/v1alpha1 One declared coherent SNR, SINAD, THD, or SFDR ratio was validly derived
AC transfer simulation result openada.operation/result.transfer.measure/v1alpha2 with openada.assertion/transfer.measurement.valid/v1alpha1 One declared gain, driving-point impedance, bandwidth, unity-frequency, or negative-feedback phase-margin scalar was validly derived, over single-ended or differential operands
Oscillator simulation result Experimental openada.operation/result.osc.measure/v1alpha1 with openada.assertion/oscillator.measurement.valid/v1alpha1 One declared same-window oscillator transient has a typed sustained/non-result verdict, or complete transient receipts were validly composed into local Kvco, span, or perturbation shift
Specification openada.operation/specification.evaluate/v1alpha1 with openada.assertion/specification.satisfied/v1alpha1 The declared simulation result satisfies or violates the explicit limit under its recorded conditions
Signoff Outside these assertions Only a separately qualified flow and accountable reviewer may make a signoff claim

What ships with it

4 files 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.

characterize-analog-block is a skill published in the GitHub repository simra-tech/OpenADA (24 stars, last pushed 22d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 94 tokens to every session and 3,162 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.
