This part uses assistants for routine engineering work: RTL drafts, failing runs, helper scripts, and shared data. Every draft ships with a check the engineer runs and owns.
Topic | Lessons | Description | Time |
|---|---|---|---|
5 | Use an assistant on RTL and verification: explain, draft, review, assert, and verify everything. | 40 min | |
4 | Debug failing runs with AI: tight log slices, ranked hypotheses, and engineer-owned checks. | 30 min | |
4 | Drafting helper scripts with an assistant, then reviewing, previewing and testing them. | 30 min | |
4 | What stays out of prompts, and how policy, redaction, and review keep it out. | 30 min |
The draft is unverified text until the engineer confirms it: simulation and assertions for RTL, a rerun experiment for a debug claim, a dry run on a copy for scripts, and redaction review for shared data. The Data, Privacy and IP topic covers what must never reach a prompt.
