schematic-review
AI agent skill for systematic schematic review: rule-based coverage with a numbered rule catalog and evidence-backed defects.
Summary rewritten from the vendor site because the catalog version did not match it.
What it does and how it connects
schematic-review is an AI agent skill for systematic schematic review, aimed at first review, pre-freeze checks, and revision re-review. It checks a schematic item by item against requirements, circuit, and operating conditions, and delivers P0 to P3 defects with evidence, executable fix steps, and re-verification conditions; items lacking evidence are listed with the proof or design path that would close them.
All checks are numbered in a rule catalog (content-domain plus method number, such as PWR-E01) covering 11 content domains and 8 check methods. A separate script independently re-checks core-device selection records and opinion attribution.
Full mode needs the schematic PDF, a valid netlist or export log, the current assembly BOM and configuration, requirement and interface definitions, and device datasheets. The bundled parsers support Cadence and OrCAD files and KiCad (.kicad_sch or kicadxml netlist); other EDA tools need an adapter verified first. With only a PDF, review is page-by-page and limited, with netlist, ERC, and per-pin machine coverage explicitly unfinished.
