What problem does it solve?
Orchestrates the early RTL design workflow by executing Phase 1 (Research), Phase 2 (Architecture), and Phase 3 (uArch) as native parallel teams while enforcing inter-phase artifact quality gates to prevent incomplete or inconsistent handoffs.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Parallel team execution: Sequences and delegates tasks to per-phase team skills to maximize concurrency within each phase.
- Inter-phase artifact gating: Validates required artifacts (iron-requirements, architecture.md, uArch docs, BFMs, etc.) before advancing phases to ensure design integrity.
- Stateful resume and migration: Reads/writes .rat/state JSON state files to resume interrupted runs and performs legacy state migration when needed.
- Use Case: Start from a project spec and run an automated pipeline that produces vetted Phase 1–3 deliverables ready for RTL implementation.
Quick Start
Run the rat-p1p3-spec-uarch-team skill to execute Phase 1 through Phase 3 from specification to uArch using team-based parallel execution.
