IC_opt

Run Cadence Spectre simulations remotely via virtuoso-bridge: upload netlists, execute, parse PSF results. TRIGGER when the user wants to run a SPICE/Spectre simulation from a netlist file, do transient/AC/PSS/pnoise analysis outside Virtuoso GUI, parse PSF waveform data, or mentions Spectre APS/AXS modes. Use this for standalone netlist-driven simulation — for GUI-based ADE Maestro simulation, use the virtuoso skill instead.

Bridge to remote Cadence Virtuoso: SKILL execution, layout/schematic editing, ADE Maestro simulation setup via Python API. TRIGGER when the user mentions Virtuoso, SKILL (the Cadence language), Cadence IC, layout editing, schematic creation, cellview operations, CIW commands, ADE setup, Maestro configuration, design variables, OCEAN results, or any EDA task involving a Cadence design database — even if they just say 'draw a circuit' or 'place some transistors'.
