What problem does it solve? IC design documents generated in Phase 1 (Datasheet, Application Note, Spec) often contain inconsistencies such as pin name mismatches, register address conflicts, and unresolved TBD placeholders that silently propagate into RTL. This Skill runs deterministic scoring and cross-document checks so these defects are caught before the Phase 1 to Phase 2 checkpoint gate. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Datasheet Quality Scoring: Scores a Markdown datasheet on 10 criteria (0-100) with a Checkpoint 1 threshold of 70 via ds_quality_check.py. - Application Note Scoring: Scores an application note on 8 criteria (0-80) with a threshold of 56 via an_validator.py. - Cross-Document Consistency: Detects pin-mismatch, register-mismatch, and unresolved-tbd errors between DS, AN, and Spec via spec_validator.py, plus a spec-to-RTL conformance gate once RTL exists. - Use Case: Before advancing a sensor IC from Phase 1 to Phase 2, run all checks on the project directory; if the AN firmware example references a register missing from the DS register map, the check reports an ERROR and blocks the gate until fixed. ## Quick Start Ask the AI to run the spec validator on the current project directory to cross-check the datasheet and application note before the Phase 1 to Phase 2 checkpoint gate.
