SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

The HighTide maintainers need a structured process to find new synthesizable open-source hardware designs and to formally propose them for the HighTide2 benchmark suite, which is currently a manual, time-consuming effort.

Core Features & Use Cases

Curated search guidance: Provides search strategies tailored to category keywords, languages, and licenses to surface promising repositories.
Rigorous evaluation checklist: Confirms each candidate has an acceptable open-source license, synthesizable RTL, and available verification before proceeding.
Proposal drafting: Helps summarize strengths, complexity considerations, and conversion notes so GitHub issues can be opened quickly for high-value designs.
Use Case: When expanding into a new accelerator domain, use this Skill to focus on that category, vet repos against the suite’s criteria, and prepare issues that explain why each submission enriches the benchmark mix.

Quick Start

Command the skill to search for synthesizable hardware designs in a chosen category and prepare GitHub issue drafts proposing them.
