skills/eda-stage-checkpoint-golden/SKILL.md
Create immutable stage checkpoints for Innovus flows. Use when users ask for fixed golden files or restart-from-stage workflows (place/cts/route) with matched DEF+V+SDC and reproducible manifests.

Some scanners were skipped, did not run, or reported a non-clean status. Review each row below.
Use this skill to freeze reusable checkpoints and avoid rerunning all stages.

Update a stable symlink when a new golden is approved:
ln -sfn <tag> regression/stage_checkpoints/<design>_stagegolden_current
Use generated restore templates in:

tools
Capture and maintain reusable script-writing experience across wrappers, helpers, parsers, validators, and runtime shims so future script work can reuse proven patterns and avoid repeated anti-patterns.
testing
Summarize local paper PDFs into structured, citation-grounded evidence notes. Use when the user provides local PDF paths and asks for methods/assumptions/results/limitations extraction or wants evidence mapped to current EDA hypotheses.
development
Fetch primary-source paper metadata when evidence is missing or weak for EDA/model/flow claims. Use for requests like building reproducible paper candidate lists, generating user-download queues, and recording citation metadata for local validation.
testing
Implement EDA research methods from approved hypothesis plans, with integration discipline, measurable contracts, and minimal-risk iteration.
