SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This skill coordinates the full RTL design pipeline from specification to verification, eliminating ad-hoc coordination and ensuring consistent governance across all phases with dual-layer phase gates.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • End-to-end orchestration of Research, Architecture, μArch, RTL, Verify, and Design Note phases using per-phase team skills.
  • Team-driven parallelism: enables simultaneous execution of independent tasks while enforcing gate-based milestones.
  • Fallback sequential mode: when needed, routes to an autopilot orchestrator for a non-team execution.

Quick Start

Provide a spec file or project description to begin auto-design and the system will initialize the pipeline and manage phase gates.

FAQPage Schema
How do I orchestrate an end-to-end RTL design pipeline from specification to verification?

Orchestrating an end-to-end RTL design pipeline is handled by routing a spec file through sequential or team-automation phases. The system initializes research, architecture, microarchitecture, RTL, and verification phases, managing milestones via dual-layer phase gates.

Can I enable team-driven parallel execution for independent RTL design tasks?

Yes, team-driven parallelism is supported by enabling simultaneous execution of independent RTL design tasks. The pipeline enforces gate-based milestones to ensure consistent governance across all phases while allowing per-phase team skills to operate concurrently.

What is a dual-layer phase gate in RTL design automation?

Dual-layer phase gates are milestone checkpoints used to govern RTL design pipeline progression. They eliminate ad-hoc coordination by enforcing consistent validation between the research, architecture, microarchitecture, RTL, and verification phases.

Does RTL design automation support a fallback sequential mode without a team?

Yes, a fallback sequential mode is available when team-based execution is not needed. The system routes the RTL design pipeline to an autopilot orchestrator, executing the full specification to verification flow sequentially.

How do I start an automated RTL design project using a spec file?

To start an automated RTL design project, provide a spec file or project description to initialize the pipeline. The system will automatically configure the phase gates and initiate the research and architecture stages.

What are the limitations of using an autopilot orchestrator for RTL design?

The autopilot orchestrator operates in a fallback sequential mode, meaning it cannot execute independent RTL design tasks in parallel. Use team-driven parallelism if simultaneous phase execution is required to meet project scale.
