What it does
Gf Pcb is an agent skill from codejunkie99/Gateflow-Plugin. KiCad schematic and PCB generation from natural language. AI-verified drafts with DRC/ERC/AI review loop. Example: "design a breakout board for iCE40 with SPI flash and 2 PMODs"
Its SKILL.md is about 1.2k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including reference files (for example `references/kicad-cli.md`).
The repository describes itself as: AI-powered SystemVerilog development assistant — design, verify, debug, and deliver working RTL with natural language.
Example prompts
- “design a breakout board for iCE40 with SPI flash and 2 PMODs”
- “/gf-pcb”
Requirements
- Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Bash, Read, Write, Glob, Grep, Task, WebSearch, WebFetch
Workflow steps
6 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Parse request — What board? Components? Constraints?
- Web search — Reference designs, datasheets, footprints
- Spawn pcb-designer agent — Generate schematic + PCB
- Run verification loop
- Label output with verification status and confidence
- Deliver with mandatory disclaimer
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit bf7e94c. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:
BashReadWriteGlobGrepTaskWebSearchWebFetch
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are bash).
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:
kicad.org
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Gf Pcb loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs, and up to ~5.5k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 46 tokens; SKILL.md has 314 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
Safety
Auto-check: notes
The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.
- NoteRuns commands with sudoSKILL.md:32
Linux: sudo apt install kicad - NotePre-approves every shell command (allowed-tools: Bash)SKILL.md
allowed-tools: Bash, Read, Write, Glob, Grep, Task, WebSearch, WebFetch
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.
SKILL.md
Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 314 words (~1,225 tokens).
