SystemVerilog lint checker with structured output for orchestration.

  • Works in 7 steps: Identify Files to Lint → Run Verilator Lint → Parse and Categorize Output → …
  • Tasks that involve Linting and formatting
  • SKILL.md covers Tool Detection, Instructions, Usage by /gf Orchestrator and Verilator v5 New Warnings, plus 3 more sections
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Gf Lint is an agent skill from codejunkie99/Gateflow-Plugin. SystemVerilog lint checker with structured output for orchestration. Runs Verilator lint, categorizes errors/warnings, explains issues, and returns a parseable result block for /gf orchestration.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.5k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in AI & LLM Engineering, covering Linting and formatting and Structured output and tool calling. The repository describes itself as: AI-powered SystemVerilog development assistant — design, verify, debug, and deliver working RTL with natural language.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Linting and formatting
  • Tasks that involve Structured output and tool calling

Example prompts

  • “/gf-lint”

Requirements

  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Bash, Read, Glob

Workflow steps

7 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Identify Files to Lint
  2. Run Verilator Lint
  3. Parse and Categorize Output
  4. Explain Common Warnings
  5. Return Structured Result
  6. Example Output
  7. Error Case Example

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit bf7e94c. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:

    • Bash
    • Read
    • Glob

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are bash and systemverilog).

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Gf Lint loads about 1.5k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 51 tokens; SKILL.md has 443 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~51
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.5k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check: notes

The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.

  • NoteRuns commands with sudoSKILL.md:38
    Linux: sudo apt install verilator
  • NotePre-approves every shell command (allowed-tools: Bash)SKILL.md
    allowed-tools: Bash, Read, Glob

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 443 words (~1,508 tokens).

“Lint SystemVerilog files with structured output for orchestration.”
