Rtl P7 Exploration

<Purpose> Execute Phase 7 free exploration. Investigates algorithm alternatives, optimization experiments, and technology evaluations without pipeline gate constraints. </Purpose>

<Use_When>

• User says "Phase 7", "exploration", "explore", "free exploration"
• Want to investigate design alternatives without modifying production RTL
• Need ADR-documented exploration results for future pipeline integration </Use_When>

<Do_Not_Use_When>

• Need formal design review with quality scoring (use rtl-p6-design-review)
• Need to modify production RTL (use rtl-p4-implement or rtl-p4s-refactor)
• Requirements or architecture are still being established (use earlier phases) </Do_Not_Use_When>

Prerequisites

Phase 6 completion is recommended but NOT required. Phase 7 is exempt from pipeline rules (Rule 9) — free exploration allowed.

Execution

Task(subagent_type="rtl-agent-team:p7-exploration-orchestrator", prompt="Execute Phase 7 exploration. User input: $ARGUMENTS")

Do not perform any work directly. The orchestrator manages guard rails, exploration agent dispatch, ADR creation, and result documentation.
