Trace2Skill: Verifier-Guided Skill Evolution for Long-Context EDA Agents

arXiv CS.AI

ArXi:2605.21810v1 Announce Type: new Complex Verilog Design Problems (CVDP) challenge hardware LLM agents because solving them requires localizing verifier-relevant RTL, testbenches, include paths, and build dependencies inside large repository snapshots, making precise edits, and recovering from sparse hidden-verifier failures. We present Trace2Skill, a test-time scaling framework that improves a hardware agent without RTL-specialized model fine-tuning. Rather than
