What it can do
- The virtuoso skill picks the smallest interface for a job (one-off SKILL, structured schematic, symbol, layout or Maestro calls, or raw SKILL) and covers GDS and ADE Maestro.
- Separate skills cover standalone netlist-driven Spectre simulation, netlist cleaning, parameter optimisation and documentation search.
- Tells the agent to check SKILL function signatures and CDF parameters against the installed Cadence documentation before using them, and to treat a shared CIW as the user's.
Limitations
- Written for the virtuoso-bridge Python package and CLI; they assume the bridge is installed.
- The skills warn that an older bridge client or daemon may lack the capabilities they describe.
