agentee

Basics

Workflow

The order a design is built in, from importing parts to writing the fab package.

  1. agentee search symbol lm358 then agentee import symbol Amplifier_Operational:LM358 --with-footprint when KiCad has the part. Imports land in symbols/ and footprints/.
  2. Otherwise agentee new symbol NAME / agentee new footprint NAME and edit the starter file.
  3. agentee new board NAME, pick a stackup preset and fab, add net classes.
  4. Quick-start placement: once the schematic checks, agentee place NAME puts every part on the board (connectors on edges, big chips central, decoupling caps at their pins). Look at it with agentee render pcb:NAME, move and locked = true the parts that matter, run agentee place NAME --keep-placed or with another --seed for the rest, then agentee silk NAME.
  5. agentee check until there are no errors, agentee render NAME -o out.png to look.
  6. agentee view keeps a live window open for a human, who can also move parts, route tracks and place vias there and save them into the layout.
  7. agentee fab NAME -o fab/ writes the manufacturing package once the layout has no errors.
