What it does

Drc Check is an agent skill from oaslananka/kicad-mcp-pro. KiCad MCP workflow for ERC/DRC execution, issue triage, waiver review, and revalidation.

Its SKILL.md is about 1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Agent Workflows, covering MCP servers and Issue triage. It works with Model Context Protocol. The repository describes itself as: MCP server for KiCad, connecting AI agents to schematic and PCB workflows, ERC/DRC validation, DFM checks, BOM analysis, and manufacturing preparation—with controlled edits and… The licence is MIT.

Workflow steps

10 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

Confirm active project and KiCad capability with kicad_get_project_info and kicad_get_version.
Run ERC with run_erc when schematic validation is in scope.
Run DRC with run_drc when PCB validation is in scope.
Run targeted issue extractors: get_unconnected_nets, get_courtyard_violations, and get_silk_to_pad_violations.
Inspect rule configuration with drc_list_rules, erc_list_rules, and drc_check_rule_conflicts when violations are unclear.
Check exclusions with drc_list_exclusions and drc_validate_exclusions.
Run the relevant quality gates.
Group findings by severity, rule, object/reference, location, and likely fix.
If edits are performed by another workflow, re-run the targeted gates and compare before/after results.
Report remaining violations, accepted waivers, and unverified assumptions separately.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit bfbed31. 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

Drc Check loads about 1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 25 tokens; SKILL.md has 438 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~25
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~1k

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.

DRC Check Skill

Use this skill when an AI agent is asked to run, interpret, triage, or revalidate KiCad ERC/DRC results through KiCad MCP Pro.

This skill is specific to oaslananka/kicad-mcp-pro and should be kept synchronized with docs/tools-reference.generated.md.

When to use

Use this skill for:

Schematic ERC review
PCB DRC review
DRC rule inspection and custom rule checks
Unconnected net triage
Courtyard and silk-to-pad violation triage
Waiver/exclusion review
Revalidation after an edit

Do not use this skill to hide, auto-waive, or normalize violations without explicit engineering rationale.

Required context

Collect:

Active project path and KiCad version from kicad_get_project_info
Board and schematic files
Target gate: ERC, DRC, project gate, release gate, or revalidation loop
Manufacturer or design-rule constraints, if relevant
Existing waivers/exclusions, if any

Workflow

Confirm active project and KiCad capability with kicad_get_project_info and kicad_get_version.
Run ERC with run_erc when schematic validation is in scope.
Run DRC with run_drc when PCB validation is in scope.
Run targeted issue extractors: get_unconnected_nets, get_courtyard_violations, and get_silk_to_pad_violations.
Inspect rule configuration with drc_list_rules, erc_list_rules, and drc_check_rule_conflicts when violations are unclear.

Waiver policy

A DRC/ERC issue may be marked as waived only when the response documents:

Rule name or violation ID
Location/object/reference
Expected requirement
Actual deviation
Engineering rationale
Human approval requirement

Do not add DRC exclusions automatically just to make a gate pass.

Quality checks

A complete DRC/ERC report must include:

Tool versions or project context
ERC result summary
DRC result summary
Issue counts by severity
Critical blockers
Waivers/exclusions status
Recommended fixes
Revalidation result after any changes

Failure modes

Stop and report clearly when:

KiCad CLI is unavailable for file-backed checks
Project paths are ambiguous
DRC/ERC output cannot be produced
Rule files are missing or conflicting
Exclusions are stale or cannot be validated
The user asks to suppress violations without an engineering reason

Output format

Return:

Project context
ERC summary
DRC summary
Rule/exclusion status
Findings by severity
Recommended fixes
Revalidation evidence
Human-review notes
