PCB skill
An agent skill for taking a hardware idea all the way to a board you can order, solder and bring up — concept, schematic, sourcing, layout, routing, verification, and a purchase staged to the pre-payment page.
It runs inside Claude Code (desktop) or Codex (desktop), drives EasyEDA Pro over MCP, and does its shopping in a browser you are already logged in to.
This is not a tutorial about PCB theory. It is the set of gates that catch the things theory does not: a socket rotated so the display can never be plugged in, a capacitor under a module body, a keep-out that exists only on a drawing layer, a checker quietly measuring the previous release. Every rule here was paid for on a real board — see
docs/case-study.md.
The three principles
| 性价比 cost-effectiveness | every part priced from a live page or labelled an estimate; the BOM netted against stock you already own |
| 好装配 assemblable by hand | you are the assembler — no bottom-terminated packages, every pad reachable, a soldering order that does not trap a joint |
| 免费 PCB a free prototype | design inside the free-prototype envelope from the first sketch, not at the end |
Install
git clone https://github.com/daishuge/pcb-skill.git
cp -r pcb-skill/skills/pcb ~/.claude/skills/pcb # Claude Code
# or: cp -r pcb-skill/skills/pcb ~/.codex/skills/pcb # Codex
Then work through setup/README.md — the skill checks these before it starts:
- EasyEDA Pro + the MCP bridge —
setup/easyeda-mcp.md - A browser with the agent extension, logged in to your PCB house and your parts suppliers —
setup/browser-logins.md - An approval watcher, if your desktop raises a permission card for every browser action —
setup/auto-approve-macos.md·setup/auto-approve-windows.md. Carts and payment stay manual on purpose — the watcher never touches them.
The workflow
| phase | produces | gate |
|---|---|---|
| 1 Concept | hard vs soft constraints, agreed | every question whose two answers give a different board has been asked |
| 2 Schematic + sourcing | schematic, priced BOM, staged carts | netlist assertions pass; every price VERIFIED or labelled ESTIMATE |
| 3 Layout + routing | placed, routed, poured board | placement is routable, not merely legal; DRC clean; adversarial review clear |
| 4 Fabrication + purchase | verified Gerber, order at the pre-payment page | the package is verified independently of the tool that made it |
The agent never places an order and never pays. It drives to the pre-payment page and hands you the click.
What is in here
skills/pcb/SKILL.md the skill itself
skills/pcb/references/ loaded on demand: workflow, review protocol, manufacturing,
sourcing, EDA-MCP traps, mechanical/3D, bring-up
scripts/placement/ courtyards from real pads, via lanes, module-body clearance
scripts/routing/ Specctra DSN/SES autoroute chain, four-state watchdog, rate floor
scripts/verify/ Gerber parsing, clearance sweeps, drill census, netlist assertions,
3D interference — deliberately independent of the EDA
scripts/notify/ a progress relay, so a long run is never silent
setup/ getting the environment ready
docs/case-study.md one board, the defects the process caught, and the honest cost
Four rules that did the work
- A green board is not a correct board. Every phase ends with a one-pass, read-only adversarial review that re-derives the numbers instead of reading them — and its termination criterion is written before it starts, or it loops.
- Measured, not inferred. "This probably is not supported" is not a finding. If a claim decides whether work continues, prove it, and say which numbers were measured and which computed.
- Verify the tool before the result. Three checkers on the reference project silently measured the wrong thing. Calibrate every geometric transform against a known asymmetric object.
- A wait condition must answer: if this crashed right now, would my filter emit a line? One run on the reference project sat silent for 10 h 53 m because the answer was no.
