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 | $0.00078 | $0.01285 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00039 | $0.00642 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00016 | $0.00257 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00008 | $0.00128 |
Grade A, and why
equivalence-check 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 — 120 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Equivalence Check (LEC)
Doctrine (v0.1.50): 把修法寫進工具,而非寫進 prompt. Programs first; AI is the backstop. Never claim PASS without the tool's verdict.
After every transformation that touches the netlist — synthesis, DFT
insertion, clock gating, ECO — someone has to prove the result is
functionally identical to the golden RTL. This skill drives that check
through MCP-EDA's eda_lvs yosys_equiv mode.
Mandatory Deterministic Preflight
# MCP tool call (handles SAT-engine corner cases since v0.1.12):
eda_lvs({
mode: "yosys_equiv",
layout_netlist: "<post-transformation-netlist>.v",
schematic_netlist: "<golden-netlist>.v",
top_module: "<top>",
pdk: "sky130", // or "gf180" or "custom" with custom_lib
})
The tool returns equiv_cells_total / proven / unproven plus
sat_model_unsupported_cells[] (for custom-PDK Liberty primitives
without built-in SAT models), and writes the result to reports/lec.json
(+ optional reports/lec.rpt).
The PASS verdict is NOT decided in this prose — it is enforced by
programs/lec_equivalence_check.py. That deterministic substance gate
independently re-parses the artefacts (alias-resilient across Yosys
equiv_* / Cadence Conformal / Synopsys Formality field spellings) and
returns rc=0 (PASS) iff equivalent==true AND compared-points > 0 (non-vacuous)
AND non-equivalent points == 0 AND unproven/aborted points == 0 — with an
anti-vacuous-claim guard so a bare {"equivalent": true} over 0 compared
points is an HONEST FAIL, never a vacuous PASS. Missing/unparseable
reports/lec.json is also an honest FAIL (LEC_REPORT_MISSING /
LEC_REPORT_UNPARSEABLE), so absence of evidence can never be claimed PASS.
# Verdict gate (run AFTER eda_lvs / eda_equiv has written reports/lec.json):
python3 programs/lec_equivalence_check.py <project_dir> --json reports/lec_gate.json
# rc 0 = PASS, 1 = FAIL (NOT_EQUIVALENT / NONEQUIV / UNPROVEN / VACUOUS /
# NO_POINT_EVIDENCE), 2 = bad-arg / not-a-dir.
What ships with it
3 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.
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.

equivalence-check is a skill published in the GitHub repository vibeic/vibe-ic (23 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 78 tokens to every session and 1,285 once invoked, about $0.0004 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.

Transistor-level circuit design for one analog sub-block. Produces Spectre netlist with hand-calculation rationale. Use when designing a specific circuit block after architecture is defined.
analog-pipeline
MANDATORY — MUST load this skill when the user mentions: OTA, ADC, PLL, comparator, bandgap, LDO, amplifier, opamp, or any analog/mixed-signal IC design task. Full analog design pipeline: spec -> architecture -> design -> verify -> deliver. Orchestrates analog-decompose, analog-behavioral, analog-design…
