What it does
Pcb is an agent skill from daishuge/pcb-skill. Design a manufacturable PCB end to end — concept, schematic, layout, routing, verification, and a staged purchase — driven from Claude Code or Codex on the desktop, with EasyEDA Pro over MCP and JLC/LCSC/Taobao in a logged-in browser. Optimises for cost-effectiveness, hand-assembly, and a free prototype board.
Its SKILL.md is about 1.4k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 8 other files, including reference files (for example `references/01-workflow.md`, `references/02-review.md` and `references/03-jlc-manufacturing.md`).
It works with Model Context Protocol and EasyEDA. The repository describes itself as: Agent skill for taking a hardware idea to a manufacturable PCB: concept, schematic, sourcing, layout, routing, verification, and a purchase staged to the pre-payment page. Drives… The licence is MIT.
Example prompts

Workflow steps
3 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- 性价比 — cost-effectiveness. Every part is chosen on measured price and real
- 好装配 — assemblable by hand. The user solders this. No QFN/DFN/exposed-pad-only
- 免费 PCB — the board should cost nothing. JLC's free-prototype coupon has hard
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 6e939b6. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md.
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
Pcb loads about 1.4k tokens when it runs, and up to ~41k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 79 tokens; SKILL.md has 727 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 passed
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
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.

- Design a manufacturable PCB end to end — concept, schematic, layout, routing, verification, and a staged purchase — driven from Claude Code or Codex on the desktop, with EasyEDA Pro over MCP and JLC/LCSC/Taobao in a logged-in browser. Optimises for cost-effectiveness, hand-assembly, and a free prototype board.
PCB
Take a hardware idea to a board a human can actually order, solder and bring up.
This skill is written from a real project that went from a blank page to a released 4-layer board. Most of what is here is not PCB theory — it is the specific set of failures that theory does not catch, and the gates that catch them.
The three principles this skill optimises for
- 性价比 — cost-effectiveness. Every part is chosen on measured price and real availability, netted against stock the user already owns. A price nobody has read off a live page is an ESTIMATE and must be labelled as one.
- 好装配 — assemblable by hand. The user solders this. No QFN/DFN/exposed-pad-only packages unless the user says otherwise. Every pad reachable with an iron, in an order that does not trap a joint behind a tall part.
- 免费 PCB — the board should cost nothing. JLC's free-prototype coupon has hard geometric and process limits. Design inside them from the first sketch, not at the end.
Before you start — the environment must be ready
Do not begin design work until these are true. Check, do not assume.
- EasyEDA Pro running, with the MCP bridge installed and answering (
server_info). Seesetup/easyeda-mcp.md. - A browser with the agent extension, logged in to the sites the project needs:
Taobao, JD, JLC/LCSC. See
setup/browser-logins.md. - An approval watcher if the platform pops permission cards for every browser action,
or the agent blocks on a card it cannot press itself. See
setup/auto-approve-*.md. Carts and payment stay manual — the watcher is deliberately bypassed there. - A notification channel for long runs (
scripts/notify/), so silence is never ambiguous.
The workflow — four phases, each with a gate
Read references/01-workflow.md for the full version. In outline:
| phase | produces | gate before moving on |
|---|---|---|
| 1 Concept | what it does, for whom, the hard vs soft constraints | the user has answered every question whose two answers give different boards |
| 2 Schematic + sourcing | full schematic, priced BOM, staged carts | netlist assertions pass; every price VERIFIED or labelled ESTIMATE |
| 3 Layout + routing | placed, routed, poured board | placement is routable, not merely legal; DRC 0/0; adversarial review clear |
| 4 Fabrication + purchase | verified Gerber, order at the pre-payment page | the package is verified independently of the EDA that produced it |
Never place an order or pay. Drive to the pre-payment page and stop.

The rules that actually caught the bugs
These are load-bearing. references/02-review.md explains each with the failure it caught.
- A green board is not a correct board. Every phase ends with a one-pass, read-only, adversarial review by a fresh reviewer that re-derives the numbers instead of reading them. Write its termination criterion before it starts, or it will loop.
- Measured, not inferred. "X probably does not support Y" is not a finding. If a claim decides whether work continues, prove it. Say which numbers were measured and which were computed.
- A wait condition must answer: if this crashed right now, would my filter emit a line? Watchdogs cover four terminal states — output present, crash signature, process gone, wall-clock timeout — plus a progress-rate floor.
- Verify the tool before trusting the result. Three separate checkers on this project silently measured the wrong thing (a cached 3D model, a bounding box instead of a pad, a merged copper label). Calibrate every geometric transform against a known asymmetric object.
- The last honest step is the user's. Logins, CAPTCHAs, and payment are theirs. Prepare everything else so their part is two minutes.
References — load what the current phase needs
| file | when |
|---|---|
references/01-workflow.md | always, at the start |
references/02-review.md | before every review, and when writing any checker |
references/03-jlc-manufacturing.md | before fixing the board outline, stack-up or rules |
references/04-sourcing.md | choosing parts, pricing, netting against stock, staging carts |
references/05-easyeda-mcp.md | before the first write to EasyEDA — it is a trap list |
references/06-mechanical.md | before declaring a board assemblable; 3D, connectors, folds |
references/07-bringup.md | flashing and first power-up, especially with no USB-serial adapter |
Scripts
scripts/ holds the checkers this workflow depends on. They are deliberately independent
of the EDA: they parse exported documents and Gerbers, so they can contradict the tool that
produced them. Each directory has its own README.
scripts/placement/— courtyards from real pads, via-lane widths, module-body clearancescripts/routing/— the DSN/SES autoroute chain with a four-state watchdog and a rate floorscripts/verify/— netlist assertions, Gerber parsing, drill census, 3D interferencescripts/notify/— a progress relay so a long run is never silent

How do I install Pcb in Claude Code?
Run `npx skills add daishuge/pcb-skill --skill pcb -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (skills/pcb in daishuge/pcb-skill) into .claude/skills/pcb in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.
How do I install Pcb in Codex?
Run `npx skills add daishuge/pcb-skill --skill pcb -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (skills/pcb in daishuge/pcb-skill) into .agents/skills/pcb in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.
Can I use Pcb in Cursor, Gemini CLI or GitHub Copilot?
Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add daishuge/pcb-skill --skill pcb -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/pcb, .gemini/skills/pcb, .github/skills/pcb and .opencode/skills/pcb in your project.
What does Pcb need to run?
SKILL.md names no scripts, command-line tools or credentials: Pcb is instructions for the agent only.
Does Pcb access the network?
SKILL.md contains no URLs. Any network use would come from the scripts or tools the agent runs. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.
Is Pcb safe to install?
Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. Review the folder before installing.
What licence does Pcb use?
Pcb is published under the MIT licence (the repository's licence). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.
How many tokens does Pcb use?
About 1.4k tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 5.4k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full. Its references folder adds about 40k tokens, read only when the agent opens those files.
