rjwalters/kicad-tools

Command Claude Code

Scaffold a new consumer board recipe (generatedesign.py) following the artifact-first convention — a project → schematic+ERC → PCB → route+pour → check → LVS-hard-gate → export pipeline with circuit-specific parts left as fill-in points.

help

04

rjwalters/kicad-tools

Command Claude Code

Explain the installed kct skills — what each does, how to invoke it, and the load-bearing conventions — by reading the files actually vendored in this repo. Introspective and strictly read-only.

hv-isolation-loop

05

rjwalters/kicad-tools

Command Claude Code

Drive the HV-isolation / creepage design loop on a mains/high-voltage board — voltage-domain capture → per-pair creepage targets → HV plane-voids → HV-aware placement → route/reinforce → creepage + Kelvin + refill-zones gates → EE decision + fab sign-off handoff. Orchestration only; the human EE authors the voltage…

layout-journal

06

rjwalters/kicad-tools

Command Claude Code

Keep a LAYOUTNOTES.md journal for a hand-routing session so the reasoning behind manual copper survives across reboots and hand-offs — decisions, rip-ups, referee results, and open blockers, all tied to the committed artifact.

rjwalters/kicad-tools

Command Claude Code

Sign off a routed board for fabrication — run kct check, the mandatory kicad-cli pcb drc --refill-zones cross-gate, and a kct export bundle at the board's fab tier — and refuse sign-off if any gate is skipped.

tapeout

08

rjwalters/kicad-tools

Command Claude Code

Produce a complete, fab-ready export bundle for a routed board — or refuse loudly. Superset of the manufacturing-readiness skill: runs the three sign-off pre-gates, then adds a BOM part-number-resolution gate, a per-rule warning-review gate (assembly-affecting warnings block unless explicitly acknowledged), schematic…
