env-precheck SKILL.md skillA

env-precheck from chipweaver/veripower is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add chipweaver/veripower/env-precheck@git:20260907.781745f

Pins git:20260907.781745f in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Use when checking whether this machine's Python, EDA tools and licenses can actually run VeriPower's stages; not for any pipeline stage, module state, or design work.

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

# Environment Pre-check

Pre-pipeline, own session: you report, and change nothing — no module file, no event, no
`kernel.py`. Nothing in the pipeline depends on this having run.

`<skill>` is this skill's own base directory, named on the first line of this file.

## 1. Presence

`<skill>/../../docs/eda-env.md` lists what must be true and what each miss costs. Probe every row
of it, and `timeout` every probe: an unreachable license server hangs the tool.

## 2. Smoke

Presence is not a checkout. Ask which stages to cover, then per row write the smallest input that
forces the checkout and run it in a temp dir. A row passes iff it produces the file below — a
tool that took the license and did nothing still exits 0.

| Checkout | Hinges on | Produces | Gates |
|---|---|---|---|
| Design Compiler | `compile_ultra` (the DC-Ultra checkout — the flow runs no plain `compile`), then `write` | the netlist | synthesis |
| PrimeTime | `report_timing` on that netlist | the timing report | timing-analysis |
| PrimeTime-PX | `set power_enable_analysis TRUE` + `report_power` | the power report | power-analysis |

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add chipweaver/veripower/env-precheck@sha256:117cbac0e1e148c0

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260907.781745f, 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.
