GateFlow Intent Router FAQs

Question 1

How does 'Expand Mode' help with hardware design?

Accepted Answer

When a request is ambiguous, the router enters Expand Mode to ask 2-3 clarifying questions about interfaces, protocols, and constraints, ensuring the final output matches your architectural intent.

Question 2

What happens if the router is unsure about my request?

Accepted Answer

If confidence is below 85%, it triggers a clarification flow. If confidence is very low (below 70%), it will ask you to rephrase the request to avoid incorrect code generation.

Question 3

Can it distinguish between different types of SystemVerilog tasks?

Accepted Answer

Yes, it uses semantic analysis rather than simple keywords to distinguish between creating RTL, writing testbenches, reporting bugs, or performing architectural planning.

Question 4

What is the primary function of the GateFlow Intent Router?

Accepted Answer

It acts as a traffic controller that interprets your natural language requests and directs them to the specific GateFlow sub-agent best suited for the task, such as the RTL generator or the debugger.

Question 5

Does this skill work with existing codebases?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. It can route requests to analyze existing files, find bugs in current RTL, or add assertions to your existing verification environment.
