pcb-skill
Agent skill that takes a hardware idea to a manufacturable PCB, covering concept, schematic, sourcing, layout, routing and verification while driving EasyEDA Pro over MCP from Claude Code or Codex.
What it does and how it connects
pcb-skill is an agent skill for taking a hardware idea all the way to a board that can be ordered, soldered, and brought up. It runs inside Claude Code or Codex on the desktop, drives EasyEDA Pro over MCP, and does its shopping in a browser the user is already logged in to. The workflow runs in four gated phases: concept, schematic and sourcing, layout and routing, then fabrication and purchase.
Its rules are built from defects paid for on real boards, per the README: 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. Every phase ends with a one-pass, read-only adversarial review that re-derives the numbers instead of reading them, and the fabrication package is verified independently of the tool that made it, with Gerber parsing, clearance sweeps, a drill census, netlist assertions, and 3D interference checks.
The agent never places an order and never pays: it drives to the pre-payment page and hands the user the click. Setup requires EasyEDA Pro with the MCP bridge, a browser with the agent extension logged in to the PCB house and parts suppliers, and an approval watcher where the desktop raises a permission card for every browser action. The repo includes a case study of one board, the defects the process caught, and the honest cost.
