What it does

Fpga Project File is an agent skill from one-ware/OneWare. Format of a ONE WARE Studio .fpgaproj file and of the .deviceconf and .tbconf files next to it — which key means what, which ones have a dedicated fpga function, and which ones may only be edited by hand.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Development. The repository describes itself as: Next Generation IDE for Electronics Development. The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • Development work in your project

Example prompts

  • “/fpga-project-file”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 1f44e1d. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    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 json and jsonc).

    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

Fpga Project File loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 56 tokens; SKILL.md has 513 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~56
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.1k

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 passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

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.

description
Format of a ONE WARE Studio .fpgaproj file and of the .deviceconf and .tbconf files next to it — which key means what, which ones have a dedicated fpga_* function, and which ones may only be edited by hand.

The .fpgaproj file and its companions

An FPGA project is a folder containing one <name>.fpgaproj file. That file is plain JSON and is the single source of truth for the project; the folder layout carries no meaning beyond it.

Prefer the fpga_* functions over editing these files. They validate the value against what is actually installed, keep the in-memory project model in sync, and save. Hand-editing a project file that the IDE has open loses the edit on the next save.

.fpgaproj

jsonc
{
  "include": ["*.vhd", "*.vhdl", "*.v", "*.vcd", "vhdl_ls.toml"],
  "exclude": ["build"],
  "toolchain": "yosys",
  "loader": "openFpgaLoader",
  "board": "MyBoard",
  "topEntity": "top",
  "compileExcluded": ["src/old_top.v"],
  "testBenches": ["sim/top_tb.v"],
  "preCompileSteps": ["someStepId"]
}
KeyMeaningFunction
includeGlob patterns or relative paths that make up the project file set. It must list at least one pattern — an empty or missing array includes no file, so the project appears empty and nothing reaches the toolchain.fpga_set_project_setting (include)
excludePatterns removed from the file set again. Excluded files are invisible to the IDE.fpga_set_project_setting (exclude)
toolchainId of the compile toolchain.fpga_set_toolchain
loaderId of the programmer used to configure the FPGA or write its FLASH.fpga_set_loader
boardName of the selected board.fpga_set_board
topEntityName of the top level entity/module for synthesis.fpga_set_top_entity
compileExcludedRelative paths kept in the project but not passed to synthesis.fpga_set_compile_excluded
testBenchesRelative paths marked as test benches.fpga_set_testbench
preCompileStepsIds of the pre-compile steps that run before synthesis.fpga_set_project_setting (preCompileStep_<id>)

Everything else in the file was registered by a plugin — typically the toolchain — and appears in fpga_list_project_settings with its key, type and allowed values. vhdlStandard is one example; which keys exist depends on the selected toolchain, so list them instead of assuming.

Notes on the format:

  • Paths are relative to the project folder and use / as separator, on every platform. A pattern written with \ never matches.
  • include/exclude decide what the IDE sees at all. compileExcluded decides what the synthesizer sees. They are not interchangeable: a file removed via exclude disappears from the project explorer, a compileExcluded file stays visible and greyed out.
  • fpga was the old key for board. Old files are migrated automatically; write board.
  • Toolchain, Loader and VHDL_Standard (capitalised) are likewise legacy spellings that are migrated to toolchain, loader and vhdlStandard.

device-settings/<board>.deviceconf

A flat JSON object of string properties describing the selected board, for example a device part number or a programming mode:

json
{
  "device": "iCE40UP5K",
  "package": "sg48"
}

The defaults come from the installed hardware package; the file only needs to carry the values that differ. An entry with an empty value is dropped on save, which is how "use the board default" is expressed — fpga_set_device_setting with an empty value does exactly that.

The file is only meaningful once a board is selected, and it is per board: switching the board switches to a different .deviceconf.

<testbench>.tbconf

Simulation configuration for one test bench, stored next to it with the same base name:

json
{
  "simulator": "Verilator",
  "TopModule": "top_tb",
  "VerilatorArguments": "-Wno-fatal"
}

simulator names the simulator; every other key is an option of that simulator. Read it with fpga_get_testbench_config, write it with fpga_set_testbench_simulator and fpga_set_testbench_option.

A .tbconf is independent of the testBenches array in the project file: the array controls the test bench marker and toolbar in the IDE, the .tbconf controls how the file is simulated. In practice you want both.
