chip-spyglass-cdc-chk

chip-spyglass-cdc-chk is a skill for Claude Code from zhaixin244-wq/fnw. It costs 73 tokens per session (2,301 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A hardware-design verification skill that checks RTL, the code used to describe digital circuits, for clock-domain crossing problems with Synopsys SpyGlass. Clock-domain crossing is the movement of signals between parts of a chip that use different clocks.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to generate SpyGlass constraints, run setup and clock/reset checks, verify crossings, review reports, and manage waivers for known findings.
Why use it?
It finds unsafe signal synchronization, clock or reset problems, and related issues before hardware sign-off.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

chip-spyglass-cdc-chk scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 9d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 3 executable files (templates/template_cdc_setup.sh, templates/template_cdc_soc.sh, templates/template_cdc_verify.sh), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Chip SpyGlass CDC Checker

使用 SpyGlass 工具对 RTL 执行 CDC(Clock Domain Crossing)检查。

When to Use

  • 多时钟域设计的 RTL 完成后
  • 需要验证跨时钟域信号是否正确同步
  • CDC 签核(sign-off)前的检查
  • 子模块交付前的 CDC 验证

工具路径

工具 路径
SpyGlass 系统 PATH(需安装 Synopsys SpyGlass)

目录约定

项目 路径
CDC 脚本 {module}_work/ds/run/run_cdc.sh
SGDC 约束 {module}_work/ds/run/{module}.sgdc
报告目录 {module}_work/ds/report/cdc/
Waiver 文件 {module}_work/ds/run/{module}.cdc.waiver
模板目录 .claude/skills/chip-spyglass-cdc-chk/templates/

核心工作流

Phase 0: 输入确认
  ├─ 确认顶层模块名和 RTL 文件列表
  ├─ 确认时钟域信息(来自 FS/微架构文档)
  └─ 确认 Black Box 模块列表

Phase 1: 生成 SGDC 约束
  ├─ 基于时钟域信息生成 clock/reset 定义
  ├─ 生成 abstract_port(Black Box 端口)
  ├─ 生成 set_case_analysis(MUX 选择端)
  └─ 生成 quasi_static(配置寄存器)

Phase 2: 执行 CDC Setup
  ├─ 运行 cdc_setup Goal
  ├─ 检查 autoclocks.sgdc / autoresets.sgdc
  ├─ 人工审查推导结果,删除非时钟/复位信号
  └─ 合并到主 SGDC 文件

Phase 3: 执行 CDC Setup Check
  ├─ 运行 cdc_setup_check Goal
  ├─ 修复所有 Error
  └─ 确保所有 Flip-Flop 有时钟

Phase 4: 执行 Clock/Reset Integrity
  ├─ 运行 clock_reset_integrity Goal
  └─ 修复 Glitch/Race 问题

Phase 5: 执行 CDC Verify
  ├─ 运行 cdc_verify_struct(结构检查)
  ├─ 运行 cdc_verify(功能检查)
  └─ 按优先级分类违例

Phase 6: 报告汇总
  ├─ 生成 cdc_summary.log
  └─ 输出违例分类统计

Phase 0:输入确认

  1. 从微架构文档或用户指定提取:

    • 顶层模块名
    • RTL 文件列表
    • 时钟域信息(时钟名、频率、来源)
    • 复位信息(复位名、极性、同步/异步)
    • Black Box 模块列表(PLL、第三方 IP 等)
  2. Glob 验证 RTL 文件存在

  3. 检查是否已有 SGDC 文件,有则复用

Phase 1:生成 SGDC 约束

根据输入信息生成 {module}.sgdc,参考模板 templates/template_cdc_setup.sh

SGDC 必须包含

# 1. 顶层模块
current_design {module}

# 2. 时钟定义(从 FS/微架构获取)
clock -name "clk_main" -period 10 -edge 0 5
clock -name "clk_bus"  -period 20 -edge 0 10

# 3. 复位定义
reset -name "rst_n" -value 0

# 4. Black Box 端口约束(如有 Black Box)
abstract_port -module pll_top -ports clk_out -clock clk_main

# 5. MUX 选择端约束(时钟 MUX)
set_case_analysis -value 0 [get_ports test_mode]

# 6. 准静态信号(配置寄存器)
quasi_static -name "cfg_*"

What ships with it

3 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
