Synthesize SystemVerilog/Verilog with Yosys. An agent skill from codejunkie99/Gateflow-Plugin.

  • Works in 6 steps: Check project context… → Pre-synthesis lint for unsupported SV… → Map board to Yosys synth target → …
  • SKILL.md covers Tool Detection, Pre-Synthesis SV Subset Check, Workflow and Result Format
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Gf Synth is an agent skill from codejunkie99/Gateflow-Plugin. Synthesize SystemVerilog/Verilog with Yosys. Reports area, timing, and resource utilization. Warns about unsupported SV constructs. Example: "synthesize my design for iCE40"

Its SKILL.md is about 340 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

  • “synthesize my design for iCE40”
  • “/gf-synth”

Requirements

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

Workflow steps

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

  1. Check project context (.gateflow/project.yaml) for target
  2. Pre-synthesis lint for unsupported SV constructs
  3. Map board to Yosys synth target
  4. Run synthesis via sv-synth agent or directly
  5. Parse stat output for LUT/FF/BRAM/DSP
  6. Report structured result

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
    • Grep
    • Task

    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

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    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 Synth loads about 342 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 46 tokens; SKILL.md has 73 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~46
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~342

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.

  • NoteRuns commands with sudoSKILL.md:30
    Linux: sudo apt install yosys
  • NotePre-approves every shell command (allowed-tools: Bash)SKILL.md
    allowed-tools: Bash, Read, Write, Glob, Grep, Task

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 73 words (~342 tokens).
