System-level diagrams encode the architectural blueprint of chip design, specifying module functions, dataflows, and interface protocols. However, non-standardized symbols and the scarcity of structured training data hinder existing multimodal large language models (MLLMs) from recognizing these diagrams. To address this gap, we introduce DiagramNet, the first multimodal dataset for system-level diagrams, comprising 10,977 connection annotations and 15,515 chain-of-thought QA pairs across four tasks: Listing, Localization, Connection, and Circuit QA. Building on this dataset, we propose a progressive training pipeline together with a decoupled multi-agent workflow that decomposes complex visual reasoning into Perception, Reasoning, and Knowledge stages. On the DiagramNet benchmark, integrating our 3B-parameter model with the proposed workflow surpasses the 2025 EDA Elite Challenge winner and outperforms GPT-5, Claude-Sonnet-4, and Gemini-2.5-Pro by over 2x in end-to-end evaluation. Notably, the workflow generalizes beyond our model, boosting Task 1 performance by 128.7x for Gemini-2.5-Pro and 12.4x for GPT-5. Furthermore, with only 60 images for detector adaptation, the method transfers effectively to AMSBench, achieving zero-shot connectivity reasoning on par with GPT-5 and Claude-Sonnet-4 while surpassing the AMS state-of-the-art method Netlistify.

Existing LLM-based EDA agents are often isolated task-specific systems. This leads to repeated engineering effort and limited reuse of successful design and debugging strategies. We present LEGO, a unified skill-based platform for front-end design generation. It decomposes the digital front-end flow into six independent steps and represents every agent capability as a standardized composable circuit skill within a plug-and-play architecture. To build this skill library, we survey more than 100 papers, select 11 representative open-source projects, and extract 42 executable circuit skills within a six-step finite state machine formulation. Circuit Skill Builder automates skill extraction with linear scalability. Agent Skill RAG achieves submillisecond retrieval without relying on embedding models. Empirical evaluation on a hard subset of 41 VerilogEval v2 problems that gpt-5.2-codex fails to solve under extra-high reasoning effort shows that individual circuit skills constructed within LEGO raise Pass@1 from 0.000 to 0.805. This is an 80.5% gain over the baseline. Cross-project skill compositions also reach 0.805 Pass@1. They outperform hierarchy-verilog by 14.6% and VerilogCoder by 2.5%. They also match MAGE. These results show that modular skill composition supports both effective and flexible RTL design automation. The LEGO platform and all circuit skills are publicly available at GitHub: https://github.com/loujc/LEGO-An-LLM-Skill-Based-Front-End-Design-Generation-Platform

Multiple prompt injection attacks have been proposed against web agents. At the same time, various methods have been developed to detect general prompt injection attacks, but none have been systematically evaluated for web agents. In this work, we bridge this gap by presenting the first comprehensive benchmark study on detecting prompt injection attacks targeting web agents. We begin by introducing a fine-grained categorization of such attacks based on the threat model. We then construct datasets containing both malicious and benign samples: malicious text segments generated by different attacks, benign text segments from four categories, malicious images produced by attacks, and benign images from two categories. Next, we systematize both text-based and image-based detection methods. Finally, we evaluate their performance across multiple scenarios. Our key findings show that while some detectors can identify attacks that rely on explicit textual instructions or visible image perturbations with moderate to high accuracy, they largely fail against attacks that omit explicit instructions or employ imperceptible perturbations.
