pcb-design-workflow

pcb-design-workflow is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from fireostendere/mcp_diptrace. It costs 99 tokens per session (1,761 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A complete workflow for designing a printed circuit board (PCB) in DipTrace, from requirements and evidence through schematics, layout, manufacturing files, first power-on, and revisions. It uses a shared evidence library and project rules to guide each stage.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to start or resume a board project, write a board specification, coordinate design stages, and enforce build gates before production or testing.
Why use it?
It keeps decisions, checks, and documents connected across the board's full design cycle. It also makes clear which steps are authorized, so preparing files does not accidentally become ordering or publishing them.

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

pcb-design-workflow 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 3d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 131 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Read runtime access before selecting tools or declaring a capability unavailable. MCP tools and native/headless CLI are separate interfaces.

PCB design workflow

RAG: engineering memory by default — shared workflow. Carry evidence from MIT/theory, board-design guides and DipTrace courses through architecture, schematic, placement/routing, production and test; consult it at each decision stage.

Coordinate the requested lifecycle stages; read each linked skill only when its stage is needed. Current user instructions and the project's AGENTS.md, when present, determine scope, engineering evidence, house rules, and acceptance. A request to prepare a production package authorizes local preparation, not ordering, payment, or publication.

Establish or resume the project

  • Resolve the project directory, schematic/PCB paths, revision, assembly variant, requested endpoint, and available hardware. Reuse the existing naming and reports.
  • For an existing design, use pcb-project-intake to inventory exact document identities. Read its specification, rules, and PCB_BUILD.md.
  • For a new design, create a concise PROJECT_SPEC.md: purpose, interfaces and pinout, input ranges and protection, rail/load/startup budget, exact critical variants, enclosure/connector datums, dimensions, environment, fab/assembly process, quantity, programming/test access, and measurable acceptance criteria. Record unknowns rather than inventing electrical or mechanical requirements. Ask only about choices that change the design; continue independent work.
  • Sketch functional blocks and power domains. Bind every consequential requirement to its source and a verification method. Mark estimates and proposed choices explicitly.
  • Assemble and maintain the RAG engineering brief from theory, board practice, DipTrace courses and project lessons. Proactively surface coupled risks and alternatives; carry the context from schematic to layout, production and bring-up without waiting for another expert-role prompt. Preserve useful decisions in the existing project journal.
  • Before resuming an existing PCB handoff, run the quality gate below. A failure returns work to the owning stage. A new specification without a board is not a passed PCB gate.

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.
