Comprehensive KiCad design review skill covering schematic, PCB, DFM, manufacturing, high-speed, and simulation review workflows.

We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent

4 rules. About 0 are common, 4 are distinctive, and 0 are very specific to this project.

  • ≈0

    Common · estimate

    Many files like this have a rule of this kind.

  • ≈4

    Distinctive · estimate

    This author's own choices. Worth a look.

  • 0

    Very specific

    Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.

  1. Distinctive:

    Use this skill for any KiCad project review task: schematic correctness, PCB layout quality, DFM readiness, manufacturing release, and …

  2. Distinctive:

    Document any waived issues

    line 43
  3. Distinctive:

    Do not approve a design for manufacturing unless:

  4. Distinctive:

    All quality gates pass or issues are explicitly documented

≈ “Common” is an estimate: at least 1 in 5 of the 308,232 skill files we read have a rule of the same kind, not the same words. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.

Keep what fits and drop the rest. Your version, ready for your agents.

KiCad Design Review Skill

Use this skill for any KiCad project review task: schematic correctness, PCB layout quality, DFM readiness, manufacturing release, and simulation verification.

When to Use

  • Board review before manufacturing
  • Schematic review before PCB layout
  • DFM check before fab submission
  • Manufacturing release preparation
  • High-speed design review
  • SPICE simulation review

Required Tools

Phase 1 — Project Inspection

  1. kicad_get_project_info — project metadata and KiCad version
  2. project_quality_gate — comprehensive quality report
  3. pcb_get_board_summary — board dimensions, layers, component count
  4. sch_get_symbols — component list

Phase 2 — Electrical Validation

  1. run_erc — all electrical rules
  2. sch_get_net_names — verify net connectivity

Phase 3 — Physical Validation

  1. run_drc — all design rules
  2. pcb_get_nets — net and track statistics

Phase 4 — DFM / Manufacturing

  1. check_design_for_manufacture — DFM rules
  2. manufacturing_quality_gate — manufacturing readiness
  3. export_gerber / export_drill / export_bom — release artifacts

Phase 5 — Final Report

  • List all warnings and errors by severity
  • Provide a manufacturing readiness verdict
  • Document any waived issues

Refusal Policy

Do not approve a design for manufacturing unless:

  • All quality gates pass or issues are explicitly documented
  • ERC and DRC show zero errors
  • DFM checks are complete
  • Export artifacts are verified

Your trail

Files you open will collect here, so you can find them again.

Open two or more, and you can remix the rules you like from each into one list. Kept in this browser only.

Now do this for your own.

Bring your CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md or skills. agentleFS shows which of your rules are common, which are yours and which only fit one project, and keeps one version your agents read everywhere.
