# edautils-ai-sdk

> AI agent fleet for EDA: a Flow Manager, 7 domain Leads and 55 agents that parse RTL, build a design model, and run FECAD, DFT, RTL-static, verification, signoff and SoC-integration flows from one natural-language request. Ships a Python SDK, a CLI, a TUI, a WebGUI, an MCP facade, and VS Code and Cursor extensions. Runs entirely inside your network against a local model server or your own provider keys.

## Install (from the download catalog)

```
tar xzf edautils-ai-sdk-<version>.tar.gz
cd edautils-ai-sdk-release-*/
./install.sh                      # OS packages, virtualenv, licence timer

cd binary
export EDAUTILS_AI_SDK_ROOT=$PWD
export EDAUTILS_AI_LICENSE_FILE=$PWD/edautils_license.json

# point it at a model (local Ollama is cheapest):
export OLLAMA_BASE_URL=http://localhost:11434
export DEFAULT_LLM_PROVIDER=ollama_llama3_1_8b

# on-demand mode -- nothing to start, Leads and agents spawn per request:
edautils --laptop-mode ask --target fecad "parse gpio.v"
edautils --laptop-mode tui        # full TUI

# or the full stack, then the flagship end-to-end example:
./scripts/start_fm.sh             # Flow Manager on 8023 (WebGUI + API)
./scripts/start_dev.sh -fecad     # one domain at a time on a single host
python3 examples/104_dft_lead_soc_top_end_to_end/run.py
./scripts/start_dev.sh --stop

# IDE extensions -- bundled, no marketplace account needed:
code   --install-extension eu_vscode/edautils-ai-0.1.0.vsix
cursor --install-extension eu_cursor/edautils-ai-cursor-0.1.0.vsix

# full steps for every mode: GETTING_STARTED.md in the tarball root
```

Run: `edautils --laptop-mode ask --target fecad "parse gpio.v"`

## How an agent runs it

This bundle ships no AGENTS.md; the catalog entry above is everything published for it.
