kicad-tools: Command for Claude Code

.claude/commands/kct/ee-review.md

ee-review is a command for Claude Code from rjwalters/kicad-tools. It costs 33 tokens per session (4,584 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A decision document for fixing a printed circuit board whose analog circuitry or component placement is preventing it from working. It lays out an escalating fix plan and records electrical limits, sources, and confidence levels.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to investigate placement or analog-design problems, compare possible interventions, and document the electrical constraints that the final repair must satisfy.
Why use it?
It turns scattered board data, issue discussions, and technical evidence into one actionable plan. This helps a builder choose and apply a fix without waiting for the board owner.

Command for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: $ARGUMENTS substitution. Also seen: reads .claude/ paths; mentions subagents.

This is rjwalters/kicad-tools's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on kicad-tools itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything kicad-tools configures →

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

ee-review scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 9d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

EE Review

Produce an EE decision document for an analog/placement-blocked board — an escalating intervention ladder plus binding electrical constraints, cited and confidence-graded — so a builder can execute the fix artifact-first without waiting on the owner's calendar.

The kct namespace. This skill lives in .claude/commands/kct/ — the kicad-tools-native agent-tool namespace, invoked as /kct:ee-review. Keep kicad-tools' own agent tools here, not under .claude/commands/loom/ or .loom/roles/: that tree is installed into this repo from rjwalters/loom and belongs to the loom framework. The kct namespace is deliberately harness-agnostic — it hosts kicad-tools-native skills that live alongside installable harness frameworks (loom, rjwalters/anvil, or any future orchestrator). Future kicad-tools skills should follow this convention: kicad-tools-native tools go under .claude/commands/kct/.

Scope (advisory only). This skill produces decisions, not copper. It reads the board artifact, the kct net-status --why classification, the issue thread, and published/textbook/app-note evidence, then writes a single decision document (one issue comment in issue mode, or one <board>/EE_REVIEW.md in board mode). It never routes copper, never places parts, never edits the .kicad_pcb, and never self-applies a work label. The human approval gate is preserved: the owner ratifies the ladder + constraints before any builder executes them. Execution is the existing artifact-first builder pipeline's job, referee-gated by kicad-cli pcb drc --refill-zones.

Phase 1 (this doc) is a single opus-class reviewer. It reads the inputs and writes the decision document directly. The Phase-2 research fan-out (4 sonnet researchers → opus planner) is documented here as the two protocols below, but Phase 1 does not spawn subagents and does not exercise the live paper-request / feature-request paths against paywalled sources. --depth mvp is the implicit default and the only supported mode in Phase 1.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

ee-review is a command published in the GitHub repository rjwalters/kicad-tools (56 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 33 tokens to every session and 4,584 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
