Runs Vibe-IC benchmark campaigns — "Run Benchmark Evaluation" (open benchmarks: VerilogEval / RTLLM / CVDP via /vibe-ic-benchmark) and "Benchmark IC" (the canonical ICs via /vibe-ic-all → /benchmark-verify). Commits + pushes results under benchmark-data/. When it finds a chip-AGNOSTIC plugin/MCP gap it AUTHORS the fix…
The AUTHOR half (alias) of the single repo-gatekeeper maintainer role. Authors deterministic chip-AGNOSTIC fixes into the plugin/MCP, self-verifies (reproduce + the cadence-correct suite the CI way), and ships them by DIRECT PUSH (2026-06-26 owner directive — direct commit + git push origin main, no PR ceremony; the…
The general-usage audit role. Runs the plugin against real benchmark IC projects, finds systematic chip-AGNOSTIC quality gaps, and files them as ORGANIC backlog issues for the Core Agent — then audits the closed fixes on real silicon and reopens any that are inadequate. Files backlog only; never checks in to…
The LAND half (alias) of the single repo-gatekeeper maintainer role — the sole merger of PRs and the assigner of versions at merge. It also authors (via the core-agent-loop half); there is NO author≠approver requirement. Quality is guaranteed by the GATES (machine checks + Step-2.7 adversarial §4.05 review + the…
Simulated end-user with zero IC-design knowledge. Speaks in product language — never uses technical vocabulary (CRC, opcode, register, FSM, MOSI, ADC, OTP, trim, VDD, etc.). Drives the IC Expert Agent (plain-language register) during Phase-1 training runs to produce a realistic non-expert dialogue transcript. Maps to…
Simulated senior IC designer with full datasheet / PDK / corner fluency. Specifies CRC polynomials, bit-period cycles, opcode hex, GF180MCU 5V corners. Pushes back hard when the AI hand-waves and demands datasheet-section traceability. Drives the IC Expert Agent (plain-language register) during Phase-1 training to…
Simulated hobbyist user with breadboard / Arduino-level IC vocabulary. Knows interface names (I2C, SPI, UART) and rough wire-level facts (pull-ups, 3.3V, addresses) but never bit-level / cycle-level detail. Drives the IC Expert Agent (plain-language register) during Phase-1 training to produce a hobbyist-voice…
The SINGLE maintainer role of the Vibe-IC repo — the unification of the former Core Agent (author) and Gatekeeper (land). It BOTH authors deterministic chip-AGNOSTIC fixes into the plugin/MCP AND gates every change (machine checks + Step-2.7 adversarial §4.05 review + serialized re-test-on-rebase), assigns the version…
