ip-reuse

What problem does it solve?

It helps you turn a one-off RTL block into reusable IP by guiding how to structure the repository, parameterize behavior, standardize interfaces, and document the integration contract so downstream teams can adopt it quickly and safely.

Core Features & Use Cases

• IP packaging guidance: Defines a practical directory layout including RTL, TB, constraints, docs, and README so the delivered block is self-contained.
• Parameterization best practices: Encourages width/feature/behavior parameters (and localparams) to avoid magic numbers and make the design portable.
• Interface abstraction strategies: Recommends using standard interfaces (AXI/Avalon-style) or explicit wrappers for non-standard/legacy ports to keep integration clean.
• Documentation & release readiness: Provides a spec template and a validation checklist covering testbench, SDC inclusion, versioning, and changelog discipline.

Quick Start

Use the ip-reuse skill to review your RTL package candidate and generate a reusable IP skeleton (structure, parameter plan, interface wrappers, and documentation checklist) suitable for sharing with another project or team.
