Agentic Electronic Design Automation: A Handoff Perspective
Quick summary
arXiv:2606.19795v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Electronic design automation (EDA) is multi-stage and handoff-heavy, relying on transfers among humans, design artifacts, and multiple tools. LLM-based agents now participate in these transfers, yet the resulting research landscape is highly fragmented and lacks a unified perspective. This survey adopts the primary input--output pair as its organizing lens: for each agent system, we analyze its primary, supporting, and intermediate handoff objects and classify it according to the provenance of its primary input and the consumer boundary

Why it matters
The value of this work lies as much in how it was tested as in the claim itself. Sample design, baselines, uncertainty and replication help separate a laboratory result from real-world impact.
