Do I need KiCad installed to use this skill?

While the skill generates the necessary project files, you will need KiCad installed on your local machine to open, view, and manually route the resulting .kicad_pro and .kicad_sch files.

What are the technical requirements for Circuit-Synth?

This skill requires Python 3.12 or higher. It is recommended to use the 'uv' package manager for the best experience with dependency management.

Can I use custom components not found in KiCad libraries?

Yes, you can use a placeholder-first approach by defining generic symbols and footprints, then swapping them for custom assets within the KiCad editor after the project is generated.

Does this skill perform automatic PCB routing?

Circuit-Synth focuses on schematic capture, netlist generation, and project structure. While it places components in the project, the physical trace routing is typically performed within the KiCad PCB editor.

Generates professional PCB schematics and KiCad projects using Python code and natural language descriptions.

Circuit-Synth bridges the gap between software engineering and hardware design by enabling programmatic PCB creation. This skill allows users to define complex circuits in Python, leverage AI for component selection and netlist generation, and export manufacturing-ready KiCad files. It is particularly effective for rapid prototyping, converting hardware documentation into formal schematics, and maintaining version-controlled hardware designs using software-like workflows.
