Prompt Cards

Write scalable SDC patterns: generated clocks, clock uncertainty, I/O constraints, clock groups, and exceptions. Include best practices to avoid over-constraining and how to validate constraints with reports.

Propose a timing closure loop: constraint philosophy, path grouping, false/multicycle paths, retiming, floorplanning feedback, and ECO strategy. Include a checklist for reading timing reports efficiently.

Create a power intent plan: power domains, isolation, retention, level shifters, and power state sequencing. Provide a UPF/CPF concept spec and integration risks for verification and signoff.

Design a robust reset strategy for FPGA and ASIC: global vs local resets, sequencing, POR behavior, scan considerations, and safe deassertion across domains. Include RTL patterns and verification approach.

Generate a CDC audit checklist: async FIFO design, synchronizer placement, handshake protocols, reset crossings, multi-bit control, and metastability risk scoring. Provide recommended assertions and typical failure modes.

Create a latency budget and pipeline plan for a multi-stage datapath. Include register placement strategy, control alignment, valid/ready propagation, bubble handling, and a method to keep cycle-accurate documentation.

Given target throughput, latency, power, area, and interfaces, produce a trade study that maps requirements to candidate microarchitectures (pipeline vs iterative, SIMD vs systolic, cache vs scratchpad). Include decision matrix, risks, and a recommended baseline design.

Teach an ambiguity-handling framework: define unknowns, run small tests, create decision options, and communicate assumptions. Include templates for rapid experiments and status updates.

Create a career narrative generator: your strengths, proof points, and ‘why now’. Output versions for interviews, networking, and internal promotions, tuned for USA/Europe/Asia expectations.

Explain how to choose a wedge strategy for entering USA/Europe/Asia markets: niche selection, initial customer profile, and expansion plan. Include a 90-day GTM experiment roadmap.

Design a reputation strategy based on thoughtfulness: better questions, careful writing, consistent delivery, and helping others. Provide a weekly plan and examples of small actions with high impact.

Create a follow-up cadence plan with scripts for USA/Europe/Asia: first follow-up, second follow-up, final follow-up, and re-open later. Include personalization rules and a CRM logging method.
