architecture-explore SKILL.md skillA
architecture-explore from vibeic/vibe-ic is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.
mdr add vibeic/vibe-ic/architecture-explore@git:20260613.86cacb4Pins git:20260613.86cacb4 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Explore micro-architecture trade-offs (pipeline depth, parallelism, memory hierarchy, bus width) against PPA targets before committing to RTL. Use when the user says "architecture exploration", "design space exploration", "DSE", "pipeline depth", "parallelism", "micro-architecture", "trade-off study".
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
# Architecture Explore The decisions with the biggest PPA impact happen before a line of RTL is written. This skill runs a lightweight design-space exploration against a handful of candidate micro-architectures and reports the Pareto frontier. ## When to use - At the start of a new block design - When the first PPA predictions miss target - Before committing to an IP from a vendor - For re-targeting a block to a new process or frequency ## Inputs 1. Functional spec (from `/spec-review`) 2. PPA targets: area, frequency, power, throughput, latency 3. Process node / library 4. Workload characterization (for data-path blocks) 5. Candidate knobs: pipeline depth, parallel lanes, memory banking, cache size, bus width ## Workflow 1. **Define the parameter space** — typically 3–5 knobs with 2–4 levels each. *This is an AI-judgment step:* pick the knobs and levels that matter for THIS block and workload (you know the design; the program does not). 2. **Build analytic model + prune** — do NOT hand-compute the PPA math or eyeball dominance. Encode each candidate as a knob row with the per-unit coefficients and run the deterministic program. It applies the four …

How to install
mdr add vibeic/vibe-ic/architecture-explore@sha256:9d89029ecc5b5458The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260613.86cacb4, 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.
