FAQPage Schema
What is the ato DSL used for in circuit design?

The ato DSL is a declarative language used for defining circuit graphs, types, constraints, and design rules. It structures nodes, edges, interfaces, traits, and modules to formalize circuit design workflows.

How do I validate a circuit graph defined in a .ato file?

To validate a circuit graph, run the 'ato build' command in your package directory. This checks your .ato file structure against the DSL's type-system and design rules to ensure your modules and interfaces are constructed correctly.

Can I define custom interfaces and type constraints using the ato language?

Yes, the ato language supports defining custom interfaces and type constraints. You can build and validate graph models by applying traits and modules to enforce specific design rules across your circuit components.

What are the core concepts needed to build modules in the ato DSL?

Building modules in the ato DSL requires understanding nodes, edges, interfaces, traits, and type graphs. These concepts form the structural foundation for defining and validating declarative circuit designs.

Does the ato declarative DSL require any external dependencies?

No, the ato DSL skill operates without external dependencies. It focuses entirely on the native declarative syntax for circuit design, allowing you to construct and validate graph models independently.
