Circuit Optimizer
Purpose
Provides expert guidance on quantum circuit optimization techniques for reducing gate count, minimizing depth, and adapting circuits to hardware constraints.
Capabilities
- Circuit depth reduction algorithms
- Gate cancellation and merging
- Peephole optimization
- Template matching optimization
- Commutation analysis
- Hardware topology-aware routing
- Two-qubit gate minimization
- Compilation pass orchestration
Usage Guidelines
- Analysis: Profile circuit for optimization opportunities (gate counts, depth, connectivity)
- Gate Reduction: Apply cancellation and merging rules for equivalent gates
- Depth Optimization: Parallelize independent operations where topology allows
- Hardware Mapping: Route circuits to respect hardware connectivity constraints
- Verification: Validate circuit equivalence after optimization
Tools/Libraries
- Qiskit transpiler
- pytket (t|ket>)
- PyZX
- Cirq optimizers
- BQSKit
Recommended Agent Skills

gsd-tools
Central utility skill for GSD operations. Provides config parsing, slug generation, timestamps, path operations, and orchestrates calls to other specialized skills. Acts as the unified entry point that the original gsd-tools.cjs provided via its lib/ modules (commands, config, core, init).
model-profile-resolution
Resolve model profile (quality/balanced/budget) at orchestration start and map agents to specific models. Enables cost/quality tradeoffs by selecting appropriate AI models for each agent role.
verification-suite
Plan structure validation, phase completeness checks, reference integrity verification, and artifact existence confirmation. Provides the structured verification layer ensuring GSD artifacts are well-formed and complete.
state-management
STATE.md reading, writing, and field-level updates. Provides cross-session state persistence via .planning/STATE.md with structured fields for current task, completed phases, blockers, decisions, and quick tasks.
git-integration
Git commit patterns, formats, and conventions for GSD methodology. Provides atomic commits per task, structured commit messages, planning file commits, branch management, and milestone tag operations.
frontmatter-parsing
YAML frontmatter parsing and manipulation for .planning/ documents. Provides read, write, update, query, and validation operations on frontmatter blocks in GSD markdown artifacts.
