BSPDN Physical Contract Auditor
Use this skill when the question is not "did the run improve QoR?" but "is the physical/topological contract behind the run actually coherent?"
When to use
Use this skill when:
nTSV / BPR / BM1 / BM2 / M0 / M1 connectivity assumptions need to be checked,
- a paper claim and the local GT3/PDK expression may disagree,
- a backside conclusion might be invalid because the local physical contract is unclear,
- a topology-validity gate is needed before expensive experiments or paper-grade claims.
Scope boundary
This skill owns:
- physical-contract auditing for backside topology assumptions,
- mapping paper-side claims to local techlef / layer-index / via-rule reality,
- identifying whether the current local PDK expression is decision-complete enough for experiments,
- producing a clear
GO / CONDITIONAL / NO-GO style topology judgment.
It does not own:
- general workflow routing,
- full experiment execution ownership,
- PDN sufficiency batch execution,
- final benefit attribution by itself,
- rewriting GT3 routing policy without evidence.
Core questions
- Is
BPR still best interpreted as PDN-only in the local flow?
- Does the local stack really support
BM2 -> BM1 -> M0 -> M1 for signal entry?
- Is there any evidence for a direct
BM1 -> M1 shortcut?
- Do current techlef / via rules / run-time layer indices match the paper narrative closely enough to support mechanism claims?
Expected outputs
Emit the smallest useful audit package:
*.topology_audit.md
*.topology_matrix.tsv
- optional
*.experience_delta.md when a reusable physical-contract lesson is learned
Hard rules
- Do not promote a connectivity assumption from "likely" to "fact" without explicit tool or collateral evidence.
- Keep paper claims and local PDK claims separate until they are reconciled.
- When the local stack is incomplete or ambiguous, prefer
CONDITIONAL plus micro-test over false certainty.
- If the local collateral contradicts the intended paper narrative, surface the contradiction explicitly instead of silently forcing policy.
