PCB skill

An agent skill that takes a hardware idea to a board you can order — schematic, sourcing, layout, routing, verification — driving EasyEDA Pro over MCP, with the purchase staged to the pre-payment page.

Skills & Commandsskillhardwarepcbeasyedamcp

pcb-skill runs inside Claude Code (desktop) or Codex (desktop) and drives EasyEDA Pro over MCP to take a hardware idea through concept, schematic, sourcing, layout, routing, and verification, then stages the purchase in a browser you are already logged into — stopping at the pre-payment page. Its gates encode failure modes paid for on real boards: a socket rotated so the display can never plug in, a capacitor under a module body, a keep-out that exists only on a drawing layer.

What it does

  • Three enforced principles: cost-effectiveness (every part priced from a live page or labeled an estimate, BOM netted against stock you own), hand-assemblable by design, free-prototype envelope from the first sketch
  • Verification gates for the failures theory misses — rotated sockets, capacitors under module bodies, drawing-layer-only keep-outs, a checker quietly measuring the previous release
  • Drives EasyEDA Pro over MCP; shops through a browser you are already logged into — your PCB house and your parts suppliers
  • Purchase stops at the pre-payment page — the agent stages the order, you decide whether to pay

When to use it

For solo developers and small teams who want an agent to do the tedious parts of hardware prototyping — sourcing, footprint checks, design-rule sanity — while keeping the money decision and the soldering iron in human hands.

Getting started

git clone https://github.com/daishuge/pcb-skill.git
cp -r pcb-skill/skills/pcb ~/.claude/skills/pcb        # Claude Code
# or: cp -r pcb-skill/skills/pcb ~/.codex/skills/pcb   # Codex

# then work through setup/README.md:
# 1. EasyEDA Pro + the MCP bridge
# 2. a browser with the agent extension, logged in to your PCB house and parts suppliers
# 3. an approval watcher, if your desktop raises a permission card for every browser action

Things to know

Setup is real work: EasyEDA Pro with its MCP bridge, a browser agent extension logged into supplier and fab accounts, and possibly an approval watcher. Rules were paid for on the author's boards (see docs/case-study.md) — review them against your own fab's capabilities before ordering.
