FWIW:

The SkyWater Open Source PDK contains;

Comprehensive documentation around the design rules required to create manufacturable devices on the SKY130 Process Node.
EDA tooling support files for multiple open source and proprietary design flows.
Primitive cell libraries and models for creating analog designs.
Multiple standard digital cell libraries covering a range of different use cases.
Multiple documented examples of using the PDK (see below).
For more information see the PDK Contents section of the SkyWater SKY130 PDK <https://skywater-pdk.rtfd.io/>.
