fpga
FPGA development guidelines covering Vivado, SystemVerilog, timing closure, AXI interfaces, and hardware optimization.
What this skill does
# FPGA Development You are an expert in FPGA development with Vivado, SystemVerilog, and hardware design optimization. ## Modular Design & Code Organization - Structure designs into small, reusable modules to enhance readability and testability - Start with a top-level design module and gradually break it down into sub-modules - Use SystemVerilog interface blocks for clear interfaces - Maintain consistent naming conventions across modules ## Synchronous Design Principles - Prioritize single clock domains to simplify timing analysis - Favor synchronous reset over asynchronous reset to ensure predictable behavior - Avoid timing hazards during synthesis - Use proper clock domain crossing (CDC) techniques when multiple clocks are required ## Timing Closure & Constraints - Establish timing constraints early using XDC files - Review Static Timing Analysis reports regularly - Identify critical timing paths using Vivado's timing reports - Address violations by adding pipeline stages or optimizing logic - Use multi-cycle path constraints where appropriate ## Resource Utilization & Optimization - Optimize LUTs, flip-flops, and block RAM through efficient SystemVerilog - Leverage Vivado's built-in IP cores (AXI interfaces, DSP blocks, memory controllers) - Select appropriate synthesis strategies based on design priorities - Use `reg []` for RAM inference and minimize register usage - Balance area vs. speed optimization based on requirements ## Power Optimization - Implement clock gating to reduce dynamic power consumption - Use Vivado's power-aware synthesis - Set power constraints for low-power applications - Minimize switching activity in non-critical paths ## Debugging & Simulation - Write detailed, self-checking testbenches covering typical use cases and edge cases - Use SystemVerilog assertions for verification - Run behavioral and post-synthesis simulations - Use Integrated Logic Analyzer (ILA) for real-time signal debugging - Implement assertion-based verification to catch protocol violations ## Advanced Techniques ### Clock Domain Crossing - Use synchronizers or FIFOs to handle CDC safely - Implement proper handshaking protocols ### AXI Protocol Compliance - Ensure proper read/write channel management and handshakes - Optimize for high-throughput with proper burst sizing ### DMA Integration - Configure burst transfers for maximum throughput - Handle buffer management efficiently ### Latency Reduction - Implement fine-tuned pipeline stages strategically - Balance latency vs. throughput requirements

modeling-omnistudio-epc-catalog
IncludedSalesforce Industries CME EPC product-modeling skill for Product2-based catalog creation. Use when creating EPC products, configuring product attributes, building offer bundles with Product Child Items, or reviewing EPC DataPack JSON metadata for product catalog changes. TRIGGER when: user creates or updates Product2 EPC records, AttributeAssignment payloads, AttributeMetadata/AttributeDefaultValues, Offer bundles, or ProductChildItem relationships. DO NOT TRIGGER when: designing OmniScripts/FlexCards/Integration Procedures (use building-omnistudio-omniscript, building-omnistudio-flexcard, or building-omnistudio-integration-procedure), implementing Apex business logic (use generating-apex), or troubleshooting deployment pipelines (use deploying-metadata).
relationship-science-coach
IncludedUse this skill for direct, practical adult relationship coaching: couples conflict, repair, trust, marriage, dating, flirting, attachment patterns, emotional connection, sex, desire differences, eroticism, kink negotiation, affection, love languages, breakups, and long-term passion. Draw on Gottman, EFT and Hold Me Tight, attachment science, modern sex research, Perel, Nagoski, Kerner, Schnarch, Love and Stosny, and flexible love-language tools. Be concrete and low-hedge. Redirect only for imminent danger, abuse, coercive control, minors, non-consent, self-harm, stalking, or medical/legal/psychiatric decisions.
building-sf-integrations
IncludedSalesforce integration architecture and runtime plumbing with 120-point scoring. Use this skill to set up Named Credentials, External Credentials, External Services, REST/SOAP callout patterns, Platform Events, and Change Data Capture. TRIGGER when: user sets up Named Credentials, External Services, REST/SOAP callouts, Platform Events, CDC, or touches .namedCredential-meta.xml files. DO NOT TRIGGER when: Connected App/OAuth config (use configuring-connected-apps), Apex-only logic (use generating-apex), or data import/export (use handling-sf-data).
venue-templates
IncludedAccess comprehensive LaTeX templates, formatting requirements, and submission guidelines for major scientific publication venues (Nature, Science, PLOS, IEEE, ACM), academic conferences (NeurIPS, ICML, CVPR, CHI), research posters, and grant proposals (NSF, NIH, DOE, DARPA). This skill should be used when preparing manuscripts for journal submission, conference papers, research posters, or grant proposals and need venue-specific formatting requirements and templates.
let-fate-decide
IncludedDraws the 12 Houses of the Zodiac Tarot spread to inject entropy into planning when prompts are vague, ambiguous, or casually delegated. Interprets the spread to guide next steps. Use when the user says 'let fate decide', 'YOLO', 'whatever', 'idk', or other nonchalant phrases, makes Yu-Gi-Oh references, or when you are about to arbitrarily pick between multiple reasonable approaches. Prefer over ask-questions-if-underspecified when the user's tone is casual or playful rather than precision-seeking.
net-ops
IncludedCross-platform network troubleshooting (Windows, macOS, Linux) via local or remote shell. Use for: DNS broken, can't resolve hostnames, nslookup/dig works but apps fail, NRPT, WFP, scutil, /etc/resolver, systemd-resolved, /etc/resolv.conf, NetworkManager, VPN DNS leak residue (ProtonVPN/Mullvad/WireGuard/AnyConnect), AV/firewall blocking DNS or DoH, Tailscale DNS interaction, intermittent connectivity, remote diagnostics over SSH.
