At a glance

Place and route with nextpnr for open-source FPGA targets. An agent skill from codejunkie99/Gateflow-Plugin.

  • Works in 6 steps: Check project target (board.yaml ->… → Verify synthesis output exists… → Verify constraint file exists → …
  • SKILL.md covers Supported Targets, Tool Detection, Workflow and Bitstream Generation, plus 7 more sections
  • Reaches github.com

What it does

Gf Pnr is an agent skill from codejunkie99/Gateflow-Plugin. Place and route with nextpnr for open-source FPGA targets. Supports iCE40, ECP5, and Gowin devices. Example: "place and route for iCEBreaker", "run P&R targeting ice40"

Its SKILL.md is about 1.2k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

The repository describes itself as: AI-powered SystemVerilog development assistant — design, verify, debug, and deliver working RTL with natural language.

Example prompts

  • “place and route for iCEBreaker”
  • “run P&R targeting ice40”
  • “/gf-pnr”

Requirements

  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Bash, Read, Write, Glob, AskUserQuestion

Workflow steps

6 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Check project target (board.yaml -> pnr_target)
  2. Verify synthesis output exists (synth.json from Yosys)
  3. Verify constraint file exists
  4. Run nextpnr with correct flags
  5. Report timing and utilization
  6. Generate bitstream if P&R succeeds

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit bf7e94c. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:

    • Bash
    • Read
    • Write
    • Glob
    • AskUserQuestion

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are bash).

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:

    • github.com

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Gf Pnr loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 44 tokens; SKILL.md has 396 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~44
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.2k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check: notes

The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.

  • NotePre-approves every shell command (allowed-tools: Bash)SKILL.md
    allowed-tools: Bash, Read, Write, Glob, AskUserQuestion

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 396 words (~1,176 tokens).

“NOT Supported: Xilinx (use Vivado), Intel (use Quartus). For these, GateFlow generates TCL scripts instead.”
