What it does
Lets the agent act as an automated tuner for computer architecture and EDA experiments. You give it a program to run, the parameters to change, and a goal such as maximizing IPC or minimizing area. The agent runs the program, reads the results, picks new parameter values, and repeats within a time or iteration budget, logging every run to a results folder with a final report. The file is only a workflow description; it is the agent that would run the commands.
Great for
- Computer architecture researchers sweeping cache, pipeline, or buffer parameters in simulators like gem5
- EDA engineers tuning synthesis or place-and-route scripts toward timing or area targets
- Developers who want an agent to benchmark compiler flags and keep the best configuration
Skip it if
- Simple one-off tasks or anything without a scriptable, measurable objective, since the loop depends on a machine-readable metric
- Projects where the agent should not run long jobs unattended, because it can run for hours (default timeout 2h) and execute arbitrary shell commands
- Shared or production machines, because the skill is granted Bash(*) and may create, edit and overwrite files in the project
Try asking
- “Sweep cache size and associativity in my gem5 config to maximize IPC within 4 hours”
- “Find the best clock period and effort level for my yosys synthesis script, minimizing area at timing closure”
- “Run a DSE over FIFO depth and pipeline stages in my verilator testbench, max_iterations 100”
- “Optimize -O level and unroll factor for my benchmark build, minimize runtime”

Ask for the task
No special command needed — the agent reads the skill's description and loads it when your request matches. Try one of the prompts above.
Get better results
- Give explicit parameter ranges, program command, objective metric and timeout in the argument to avoid guesswork; review dse_results/inferred_params.md before long runs
- Run it in a sandboxed or throwaway copy of the project first, since it has unrestricted Bash and can write or overwrite files
- Keep the baseline run short to validate the metric parser before letting the loop run for hours
