What it does and how it connects

digital-chip-design-agents is a Claude Code marketplace plugin for the full digital chip-design pipeline: 16 plugins, 17 skill files, 14 chip-design domains plus infrastructure and a pipeline orchestrator, with closed-loop verification to RTL feedback. It installs with one command (npx digital-chip-design-agents), with no clone and no Python, and Claude loads the correct skill when the user describes a task in natural language.

The domains are architecture evaluation, RTL design in SystemVerilog, functional verification with UVM, formal verification, logic synthesis, design for test (scan, ATPG, JTAG), static timing analysis, high-level synthesis, physical design from floorplan to sign-off, SoC IP integration, memory IP design, compiler toolchain, embedded firmware, FPGA emulation, infrastructure and memory, and pipeline orchestration. Each plugin installs a skill with domain knowledge and an orchestrator agent that manages the full multi-stage flow, enforces pass and fail criteria, applies loop-back rules when a stage fails, and escalates clearly when human input is needed.

Each domain orchestrator reads from and writes to a two-tier persistent memory store, and the 14 domains connect into a complete spec to tape-out pipeline. An optional companion, hdl-rtl-skill, adds a slang-backed per-write lint hook, golden RTL templates and an anti-pattern catalogue for Claude Code only.

What engineers report

  • In a real consumer project (`chuanseng-ng/claude_verilog_test`), the 1.9.x memory-root change silently split agent memory in two.
  • chipleap

    An agent that designs a chip from a workload spec to DRC- and LVS-checked GDS, rather than sixteen plugins covering fourteen chip-design domains.

  • OpenVLSI

    A macOS-first chip-design suite in rebuild around one design database and command layer, rather than a Claude Code marketplace plugin.

  • eda-agent

    An MCP server that drives a live Altium session with KiCad and EasyEDA Pro backends, rather than a plugin set for the digital chip pipeline.
