ppa-measure SKILL.md skillA

ppa-measure from vibeic/vibe-ic is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add vibeic/vibe-ic/ppa-measure@git:20261106.a0a79f8

Pins git:20261106.a0a79f8 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Read PPA artefacts that the tools already wrote — STA reports, power reports, area reports, DEF/GDS summaries — and turn them into an evidence-linked measurement report of canonical `vibeic.ppa.metric.v1` records, each carrying its scope and its native source path. Use when the user says "measure PPA", "what is the real area/power/timing", "collect the PPA numbers", "post-route PPA", or when a report must state what was measured AND what was not.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Measure PPA

Read the selected rows in `<project>/reports/flow_engine.json` and open their
native `reports`. `flow/steps.json` names each current tool and
`flow/native_limits.json` retains its original limits. Review `tool_ran`,
`native_steps`, `native_metrics`, and each metric's value, operator and limit.
A missing native measurement is `NOT_MEASURED`. AI reviews the engineering
meaning of every result and fixes problems in the design, tool or plugin.

```bash
python3 programs/flow_engine.py report --project <project>
```

Collect the numbers from the tool's actual outputs. Name the design, top,
stage, corner, mode, Liberty files, activity basis and parasitics used.

- Read cell area and cell counts from the synthesis or physical database.
  Distinguish cell area, macro area, core area and die area, and keep their units.
- Read setup and hold WNS, TNS, unconstrained paths and DRV from native timing
  reports. Identify whether timing used estimated or extracted parasitics.
- Read power with its voltage, process/temperature corner and switching-activity
  basis. Missing activity is a limitation, not measured design power.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add vibeic/vibe-ic/ppa-measure@sha256:be1cec66139da83a

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261106.a0a79f8, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
