# Synthesis Optimization Skill Expert skill for FPGA synthesis optimization targeting Vivado and Quartus tools. Provides deep expertise in synthesis report analysis, attribute application, resource inference control, and QoR (Quality of Results) improvement. ## Overview The Synthesis Optimization skill enables comprehensive synthesis optimization for FPGA designs, supporting: - Synthesis report analysis and resource utilization review - Synthesis attributes (keep, max_fanout, ram_style, etc.) - DSP and BRAM inference guidance - FSM encoding optimization (one-hot, binary, Gray) - Retiming and register balancing - Logic optimization strategies - High-fanout net reduction - Multi-vendor synthesis flows ## Capabilities ### 1. Synthesis Report Analysis Parse and analyze synthesis reports: ```tcl # Vivado synthesis report analysis report_utilization -hierarchical report_utilization -cells [get_cells -hier -filter {IS_PRIMITIVE}] report_timing_summary -setup -hold # Resource utilization breakdown report_utilization -format csv -file utilization.csv # Check specific resource types report_utilization -cells [get_cells -hier -filter {REF_NAME =~ DSP*}] report_utilization -cells [get_cells -h

What does the synthesis-optimization skill do?
Expertise in RTL optimization for FPGA synthesis tools. Analyzes synthesis reports, applies attributes, and guides resource inference for optimal QoR.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add a5c-ai/babysitter --skill synthesis-optimization --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.
