Generic Template

The generic template is the quickest starting point for silicon-photonics designs. It includes:

• A semantic layer map and starter DRC configuration in rosette.toml.
• The full standard component catalog copied into components/.
• Routing, verification, and component-authoring skills when an agent harness is selected.
• Generated .rosette/ contracts matching the installed Rosette package.

uvx --from librosette rosette init my-chip --template generic
cd my-chip

The copied components are normal Python source, not opaque library objects. Edit them to match your PDK, naming conventions, and process assumptions. Once edited, the project-local source is authoritative; the starter catalog documents only the initial state.

Next steps

• Browse the included components.
• Follow the shared component-authoring guide.
• Tighten the DRC configuration.
• Follow the agent workflow to build and verify a design.
