scope-pattern-attestation

scope-pattern-attestation is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from vibeic/vibe-ic. It costs 109 tokens per session (2,089 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A hardware check that uses an oscilloscope to verify signal patterns on real silicon, the manufactured chip. It checks whether required or forbidden timing patterns appear in captured electrical traces.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to capture scope traces, detect periodic pulses, check reply preambles, decode response bytes, and analyze long hardware frames.
Why use it?
Simulation and RTL checks can miss behavior that occurs only on physical hardware, so this adds evidence from actual signal measurements.

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

scope-pattern-attestation 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 6d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (tests/test_compliance.py), 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.

scope-pattern-attestation — Layer-3 hardware attestation

Doctrine (v0.1.50): 把修法寫進工具,而非寫進 prompt. Programs run the pattern-match; AI is the backstop on waveform interpretation.

Mandatory Deterministic Preflight

# 1. Capture the scope trace via MCP-EDA:
device_scope_capture({ channel: 1, duration_ms: 100 })

# 2. Then run the pattern-specific check:
python3 plugins/vibe-ic/programs/scope_periodic_pulse_check.py \
    --trace <trace.csv> --strict        # forbidden-pattern absence
python3 plugins/vibe-ic/programs/scope_reply_preamble_check.py \
    --trace <trace.csv> --strict        # required-pattern presence
python3 plugins/vibe-ic/programs/scope_response_byte_decode_check.py \
    --trace <trace.csv>
python3 plugins/vibe-ic/programs/scope_long_decode.py \
    --trace <trace.csv>                 # long-frame decode

The MCP captures the trace; the 4 programs decide pattern PASS / FAIL deterministically. Refuse to attest a pattern by visual inspection of the scope screenshot when the program can decide it.


This skill closes the third layer of the v0.65 three-layer defense. Sim PASS and static-RTL PASS together are still not proof; the only proof that an IC exhibits (or does not exhibit) a behavioral pattern in silicon is to put a probe on the line and capture it.

Why This Exists

A real bug, caught in v0.64, motivates this skill. The static analyser timer_freeze_after_state_check.py flagged a wake-timer freeze defect in wake_ctrl.v: after the bus had entered the awake state, a periodic timer kept firing pulses on the IO line. A Keysight DSO-X 3014T probe captured the offending IO line and saw 10 LOW pulses in a 50 ms window — each ~26 µs wide, gaps 5.000-5.001 ms apart — exactly the buggy waveform predicted from the static finding.

The static checker (v0.64) and the runtime scope checker (this v0.65 skill) are complementary layers, not duplicates:

Layer Catches Misses
1. Sim (testbench) Logic bugs that the testbench stimulates Anything not stimulated
2. Static (timer_freeze_after_state_check, etc.) RTL anti-patterns Synthesis / mapping artefacts; analog issues
3. scope-pattern-attestation (this skill) Real silicon behavior Anything you forgot to probe

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.

scope-pattern-attestation is a skill published in the GitHub repository vibeic/vibe-ic (23 stars, last pushed today), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 109 tokens to every session and 2,089 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 2026-09-03.
