AgentPIC

AgentPIC is an agent-native photonic circuit EDA. A design file is submitted through HTTP, MCP, or the CLI, and the user receives the compiled netlist, a SAX simulation, real GDS from GDSFactory, and a verification report in which every check is pass, fail, or an explicit not_run. A TypeScript engineering core owns contracts, compilation, workflow, and verification; Python scientific backends run SAX, GDSFactory, and KLayout. No GUI or paid solver is required.

The governing rule is that adding a device must not change compiler, simulation, verification, or layout code: a design is data, and the engine knows primitives (ideal coupler, waveguide, phase shifter), placement, routing, and generic checks, never a device family. An architecture test enforces this. Device knowledge lives in templates and tests. Process facts live in a PDK data file named by the design's pdk field: layers, rules, materials, cross-sections with mode models, and components with ports, cells, compact-model versions, validity ranges, and the source of every value.

A design holds a circuit (a flat netlist or a module hierarchy of primitives, plus port order for the S-matrix), an optional layout (placements, routes, bundles, constraints on measured lengths), optional tuning (power targets over phase-shifter variables, solved by bounded SciPy search), and optional measurements (spectral features such as complete resonances between two ports). Without a layout, layout checks report not_run. Install needs Node.js 22 or newer and uv, with Python 3.12 to 3.13 supported.
