Direct use of CircuitBuilder and SyndromeTracker to construct a custom QEC circuit from scratch — without a pre-built experiment class. Use this skill whenever the user wants to: implement a novel protocol from a paper, chain multiple logical operations with full control over each step, build a circuit that no existing XXXExperiment class covers, or understand how detectors and observables are generated internally.

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

# CircuitBuilder + SyndromeTracker Direct API

All pre-built experiment classes (`MemoryExperiment`, `CNOTLSExperiment`, etc.) are
thin wrappers around this layer. Use this skill when you need to go below them.

## The mental model

```
QECPatch(s) → QECSystem → SyndromeTracker + CircuitBuilder → stim.Circuit
                                          ↑
                             Auto-generates DETECTOR / OBSERVABLE_INCLUDE
```

`CircuitBuilder` emits circuit instructions. `SyndromeTracker` maintains the symplectic
tableau (stabilizers + logicals in GF(2)) and decides, at each measurement, whether a
detection event is deterministic (→ DETECTOR) or consumes a logical degree of freedom
(→ OBSERVABLE_INCLUDE). You never write DETECTOR by hand.

## Minimum viable setup

```python
import stim
from lightstim.ir.qec_system import QECSystem
from lightstim.ir.tracker import SyndromeTracker
from lightstim.ir.builder import CircuitBuilder
from lightstim.qec_code.surface_code.unrotated import (
    UnrotatedSurfaceCode, UnrotatedSurfaceCodeExtractionBlock
)
from lightstim.noise.config import NoiseConfig

# 1. Build patches and system
system = QECSystem()

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add qutone/lightstim/builder-tracker-api@sha256:5490f24e40ef93ab

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260526.75df926, 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.
