edakit
Circuit design as code for Claude Code: the circuit as text, with rule checks, ngspice simulation, schematic and PCB in EasyEDA Pro or KiCad, Freerouting, and a gated release to the fab.
Summary rewritten from the vendor site because the catalog version did not match it.
What it does and how it connects
edakit is circuit design as code. It takes a circuit from an idea to a board ready to order, as a plugin for Claude Code and a command line, with everything it works on kept as text in the repository. The user brings the idea, what the board must do, and the decisions on money, purpose and looks; Claude and edakit bring the parts with their datasheets, the values, the rules, the simulation, the schematic and the PCB in EasyEDA Pro or KiCad, and the manufacturing files.
Checks run on the circuit as text, simulation runs in ngspice, and the board goes through schematic, layout, Freerouting, a release gate on the manufacturing files, and an order taken up to the cart at JLCPCB, PCBWay, Eurocircuits or AISLER, with each maker's quote checked for price, stock and lead time. The walkthrough example is a coin cell, a push button and a red LED drawn in EasyEDA Pro, and the same flow runs on KiCad in a 555 blinker example.
The README states what it needs: Claude Code, uv and ngspice, plus EasyEDA Pro desktop with Node 24 by default, or KiCad 10, and an account at the maker being ordered from. It is tested on Linux; Windows and macOS are untested. The checks, simulation and drawings run offline, and Claude's part is paid in tokens: six typical tasks in the project's evals cost 0.55 USD together with Sonnet 5.5 and 1.48 USD with Opus 5.5.
Alternatives

Recurring errors it addresses
Error Index entries this tool is built to reduce or work around.
- An agent moving parts on a 468-component, four-layer board got 110 'success' returns, then the connector dropped and some moves never persisted; even at batches of five with save and readback, the tool warned the readback and DRC could be reading stale engine state.Error Index
- The validator for an EasyEDA Pro agent skill looks for a literal DOCHEAD prefix, so real files saved by EasyEDA Pro 4.1 with a ticket field make it crash or skip a library document and report success.Error Index
- An EasyEDA MCP extension read each arc's sweep angle in the board outline as a coordinate, shifting every value after it by one. The agent got a 55 mm square board with diagonal edges, poured ground to it, and native DRC found five floating copper regions on GND.Error Index
- GUI lag, occasional freezes, and sluggish editor switching interrupt concentration.Error Index

- Pricing: none stated on the repo for edakit itself; the token costs quoted are for the Claude models used, not an edakit price.
- Real user voices: no real linked post read for this page; the repo has no public issues listed via the API.
- The catalog one-liner describes a JSON hardware graph; that wording was not verified in the README read, so the one-liner was rewritten from the README.
