VLSIT_Q3TUI_AI_FLOW

Q3TUI is a terminal UI and CLI that takes a hardware IP block from an intent or a spec to checked, synthesizable RTL, a testbench, and CDC and PPA results, through gated, agentic flows built on the Claude Agent SDK. It is a product of VLSI Technology, in Beta at version 0.1.0.

The chain runs spec, rtl, dv, sanity, then fpga or asic flows. The spec flow drafts a reviewed spec with numbered requirements; the rtl flow writes RTL checked against the project's coding rules; the dv flow writes a testbench from the spec alone; the sanity flow sorts every CDC and RDC violation into a waiver, an RTL fix or a question; and the fpga and asic flows estimate PPA and synthesize to a standard-cell netlist with an equivalence check.

A step that needs a human decision stops at a gate, and parsing, rule checks, lint, formatting, simulation and synthesis are code and tools: the model gets the results as facts and never has the final word on compliance. EDA tools are the user's to bring: each flow asks for tool roles and the user supplies the command of the tool their site uses. A role with no tool is reported N/A, never silently passed.
