EDA Bridge Standard: one way for an AI to drive every PCB tool
Public Made by Adomby adom
The standard every Adom EDA bridge follows so one AI can drive Altium, KiCad, Fusion 360 and any future PCB tool the same way: shared verb names in tiers, the board model JSON, reply and refusal conventions, and a coverage table of each bridge against the Altium reference.
