Can I export Gerbers if the design has DRC errors?

No, the skill includes a safety rule that prevents the generation of manufacturing outputs if unresolved DRC errors are present, preventing costly production mistakes.

Where does the skill save the audit findings?

A structured report is automatically generated at `docs/pcb-audit-report.md`, and manufacturing files are placed in a `gerbers/` directory.

What software dependencies are needed for this skill?

This skill requires `kicad-cli` to be installed on your system path, which is available in KiCad version 6.0 and later.

Does this skill modify my original KiCad project files?

No, the skill follows a strict read-only audit workflow. It analyzes your design and generates reports or exports without altering your schematic or PCB layout files.

安全与测试

Automates KiCad design rule checks, exports manufacturing outputs, and generates comprehensive PCB audit reports.

The PCB Design Audit skill streamlines the hardware development lifecycle by integrating KiCad’s command-line interface directly into Claude Code. It automatically detects project files, executes Electrical Rule Checks (ERC) and Design Rule Checks (DRC), and parses JSON results to categorize violations by severity. If the design passes verification, the skill exports production-ready Gerbers, Drill files, and Bills of Materials (BOM), culminating in a structured markdown audit report that provides exact coordinates for any identified issues, ensuring a reliable transition from design to manufacturing.
