What problem does it solve?
Customer-facing IC datasheets are high-stakes documents where a single wrong number can cause a board spin. Hand-authoring them introduces errors like contradictory specs, double-assigned pins, unrepresentable bus widths, silent spec changes, and pre-silicon values presented as final. This skill encodes the cleanup process distilled from real preliminary datasheets, ensuring every number traces to an authoritative source and passes mechanical integrity checks before reaching a customer.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Mandatory spec source-of-truth audit: Every numeric claim is back-checked against a spec bundle (model exports, RTL parameters, quant configs, foundry quotes) with a four-valued verdict schedule.
- Deterministic mechanical pre-flight: Pin-map integrity (every pin assigned exactly once) and bus-width sanity (N-bit fields cover their claimed ranges) are checked automatically via machine-readable markers in the LaTeX source.
- Canonical lifecycle with parallel critics: Runs draft → review + audit (both required) → revise → READY/AUDITED, with a 9-dimension /44-point rubric and a ≥39 advance threshold for customer-facing quality.
- Shared-die SKU coherence: For multi-SKU families, the audit cross-reads sibling datasheets to ensure shared specs (process, die, package, abs-max) remain identical across the family.
Quick Start
Use the datasheet skill to produce a customer-facing IC datasheet by providing a thread brief and spec bundle, then run the parallel review and audit commands to validate every number and mechanical constraint before shipping.
