SKILL is a Lisp dialect used as a scripting language and PCell (parameterized cells) description language used in many electronic design automation (EDA) software suites by Cadence Design Systems. It was originally put forth in an Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) paper in 1990.[1]
