rtl-acquire SKILL.md skillA

rtl-acquire from shenshan123/r2g-skills is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add shenshan123/r2g-skills/rtl-acquire@git:20260924.1ead9fb

Pins git:20260924.1ead9fb in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Discover, screen, and acquire RTL at corpus scale (local trees, repo manifests, keyword search) and expand it — synthesis-only, MANY designs per round — into pre-layout netlist_graph.pt PyG graphs with dedup, quality scoring, and publish gating. Use for growing a training corpus of netlist graphs from found RTL. NOT for taking one design to GDS/signoff (that is signoff-loop) and NOT for post-layout graph datasets from DEF/SPEF (that is def-graph).

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

# rtl-acquire — the RTL corpus supplier

Execute a staged, artifact-first corpus-expansion workflow for discovered RTL:
**acquire → expand (synth-only) → repair → validate → publish**. Prefer
deterministic scripts and policy files; treat the workspace ledgers and
manifests as the source of truth.

For Internet-scale acquisition, use the embedded
`vendor/rtl-expander/` engine. It owns safe repository discovery, immutable
revision acquisition, top/closure recovery, corpus certification, family
deduplication, and scheduler statistics. R2G consumes only a `CERTIFIED`
rtl-expander snapshot through
`scripts/acquire/import_expander_snapshot.py`; never read its live frontier,
queues, mutable manifests, or partially completed rounds directly.

Positioned **upstream** of the other r2g-skills: it feeds a stream of screened,
synthesized, graph-converted designs. It **never runs place/route or signoff**
— hand a promising design to `signoff-loop` for that.

## The scoped-reuse contract (what this skill OWNS vs BORROWS)

OWNS (the heart — genuinely net-new for r2g):
- **acquire/** — discovery/search/clone/screen of candidate RTL at corpus scale

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add shenshan123/r2g-skills/rtl-acquire@sha256:2ca863fb77bdf846

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260924.1ead9fb, 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.
