FPGA power estimation and optimization skill for low-power design
npx skills add a5c-ai/babysitter --skill power-analysis --agent claude-code
Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.
Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
# Power Analysis Skill ## Overview Expert skill for FPGA power estimation and optimization, enabling low-power design through analysis and targeted optimization techniques. ## Capabilities - Run power estimation tools (Vivado Power Estimator) - Analyze static and dynamic power - Identify high-power consumption areas - Apply clock gating and enable strategies - Optimize switching activity - Configure power domains - Estimate power from simulation activity - Generate power reports ## Target Processes - power-analysis-optimization.js - synthesis-optimization.js - clock-network-design.js ## Usage Guidelines ### Power Components - **Static Power**: Leakage, always present when powered - **Dynamic Power**: Switching activity, proportional to frequency - **I/O Power**: External interface drivers - **Clock Network Power**: Distribution network switching ### Analysis Flow 1. Early estimation with Xilinx Power Estimator (XPE) 2. Post-synthesis power analysis 3. Simulation-based activity annotation (SAIF) 4. Post-implementation power analysis 5. Hardware measurement validation ### Optimization Techniques - **Clock Gating**: Disable clocks to unused logic - **Enable Gating**: Use clock enables

What does the power-analysis skill do?
FPGA power estimation and optimization skill for low-power design
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add a5c-ai/babysitter --skill power-analysis --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From a5c-ai/babysitter, a repository with 1,642 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
