boardrepo

boardrepo is a skill for Claude Code from flintt-dev/boardrepo-plugin. It costs 156 tokens per session (1,576 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for reviewing published printed-circuit-board projects on BoardRepo, a library for electronic hardware designs. A PCB is a board that connects electronic components.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to find boards, inspect schematics, parts lists, and project files, run KiCad design checks, and compare a design with a manufacturer's limits.
Why use it?
It helps inspect a board's design details and check whether the design is ready for manufacturing.

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

boardrepo 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 122 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

BoardRepo

BoardRepo is a library of real, published PCB projects, plus a private home for the user's own boards. This skill is about using the BoardRepo MCP tools well — which one answers which question, and in what order. It is not a description of the tools; each tool carries its own description, and those are authoritative on arguments.

The one rule that is not here

The server sends a DESIGN REVIEW CONTRACT in its initialize instructions whenever the review tools are available. It is the authority on how to report a review, and it is deliberately not summarised here — not even as a list of what it covers, because a summary is a second copy and the copy a reader happens to find is the one that wins.

Follow the contract the server sent you. This file only tells you which calls to make.

Getting to a board

Every board-reading tool takes a board reference, and you need one before anything else.

You have Do this
a boardrepo.com URL, or handle/slug pass it straight to get_board
a part number, or a vague description search_boards, then get_board on the row you want
"my boards" list_my_boards — needs own-board access

search_boards searches published boards. If the user means a board of their own and it is not public, search_boards will not find it: use list_my_boards.

If a board reference comes back not-found, take that at face value. A board that exists but is not visible to this connection is reported identically to one that does not exist — there is no way to tell them apart, and guessing is worse than saying you could not find it.

Reading a design

Ask the question you actually have, rather than reading files and inferring.

  • "What is it made of?"get_bom. Reference designators, values, footprints, MPNs.
  • "What connects to U3?" / "what is on GND?"read_schematic with ref or net. This is the tool that separates you from guessing: without it you are recalling what a part's datasheet says, not reading what this designer drew.
  • "What files are in it?"list_board_files, then read_file for one of them.
  • "Find X inside the design"search_board, or query_design for structure.

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.

boardrepo is a skill published in the GitHub repository flintt-dev/boardrepo-plugin (0 stars, last pushed 15d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 156 tokens to every session and 1,576 once invoked, about $0.0008 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 2026-08-31.
