pyrope SKILL.md skillA

pyrope from masc-ucsc/livehd is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add masc-ucsc/livehd/pyrope@git:20261012.bf1ca02

Pins git:20261012.bf1ca02 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Write, check, clean up and synthesis-optimize Pyrope (the LiveHD hardware description language) with the lhd tool. Use when creating or editing .prp files, translating Verilog to/from Pyrope, answering Pyrope syntax/semantics questions, running lhd (compile, sim, formal, lec, synth, sta), cleaning machine-emitted Pyrope, or improving area/frequency with synthesis attributes.

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

# Pyrope

Pyrope is a hardware description language: every construct elaborates to
wires, muxes, flops and memories. `lhd` (LiveHD) compiles, simulates, proves,
synthesizes and times it. This skill has four parts; read the one the task
needs (they reference each other):

| part | read it when |
| --- | --- |
| [semantics.md](semantics.md) | writing or reviewing any Pyrope: declarations, types, lambdas (`comb`/`pipe`/`mod`), tuples, bits, registers and timing, `wire`, memories, verification, tests, Verilog mapping, gotchas, not-yet-implemented features |
| [lhd.md](lhd.md) | running the tool: command contract, artifacts (`ln:`/`lg:`), sim, formal, lec verdicts, synth, critical-path STA (`pass opentimer` + `tool sta`), fmt/style, diagnostic triage |
| [cleanup.md](cleanup.md) | turning emitted or legacy Pyrope into idiomatic code while proving it unchanged |
| [synth.md](synth.md) | improving area/frequency: `synth.*` attributes, measurement method, critical-path driven levers, source rewrites that map better |

## Rules that apply to every task

* Verify every edit with `lhd`: compile, then the strongest check available

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add masc-ucsc/livehd/pyrope@sha256:21ce18c12d5a68d4

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261012.bf1ca02, 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.
