vlsit-asic-ip-microspec SKILL.md skillB

This file is byte-identical to the first copy the registry indexed, one of 3 indexed copies. Same content hash, so the same checks give both the same grade.

vlsit-asic-ip-microspec from nguyenquanicd/vlsit_codex_claude_skills is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add nguyenquanicd/vlsit_codex_claude_skills/vlsit-asic-ip-microspec@git:20261108.53407f2

Discuss and write an ASIC IP micro-architecture specification in the VLSIT template as Markdown with TeX math; optionally export DOCX and PDF with Pandoc. Includes protocol-grounded Q&A, evidence-based reference-IP research, a CSR workbook, a draw.io block diagram, a complete port table, and user-confirmed waveforms. Use when the user wants to define or document an ASIC IP.

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

# ASIC IP micro-specification

Guides the user from an idea to a complete ASIC IP design specification in the VLSIT template. The authoritative specification is Markdown; equations use TeX math, figures use relative Markdown image links, and Pandoc can create optional DOCX and PDF deliverables. The workflow asks questions with options and examples, grounds protocol statements in converted standards, studies only silicon- or FPGA-proven reference IP, fills the CSR workbook, describes every signal, and draws the block diagram and user-confirmed waveforms. It does not write RTL.

Reply to the user in the language the user writes; write the specification in English (rule R-005).

If instructions differ, follow them in this order: [rule.md](rule.md) first, then this file, then the files in `reference/`.

## Workflow

### 1. Read the rules

Read [rule.md](rule.md) completely before doing anything else. Every rule in it is mandatory.

### 2. Find Python and check the environment

Every script in `scripts/` is Python 3. Locate a working Python before running any of them:

```powershell
powershell -NoProfile -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File "<skill folder>\scripts\vlsit_find_python.ps1"
```
…

Read the whole file at its exact version.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add nguyenquanicd/vlsit_codex_claude_skills/vlsit-asic-ip-microspec@sha256:94ff989b4d76f0e5

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261108.53407f2, 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.
