description	Keep an IP development session resumable by initializing <ip>/wiki and <ip>/.git, logging stage decisions, and committing IP-local snapshots.

IP Development Memory

Use this skill whenever a hardware IP is being created, debugged, verified, or closed and the work needs to continue across LLM sessions.

Start

Run this before editing the target IP:

python3 scripts/ip_dev_memory.py init <ip>

This is idempotent. If <ip>/.git/ does not exist, it initializes an IP-local git repository and local git identity.

Then read:

sed -n '1,220p' <ip>/wiki/llm_memory.md
git -C <ip> log --oneline -5

During Work

After a meaningful requirement, RTL, TB, sim, coverage, formal, or signoff stage boundary:

python3 scripts/ip_dev_memory.py log <ip> \
  --stage <stage> \
  --title "<short event>" \
  --body "<decision, result, next action>" \
  --evidence <ip>/<artifact>

After source, testbench, or evidence changes:

python3 scripts/ip_dev_memory.py snapshot <ip> --message "<stage>: <short summary>"

Finish

Before claiming completion:

python3 scripts/ip_dev_memory.py check <ip> --require-git

Include this in the final ROCEV report when relevant:

Memory:
  wiki: <ip>/wiki/llm_memory.md
  git: <ip>/.git, latest snapshot <hash or "no new snapshot">
