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.
standard-lane: how to reach this thread
This issue is how the bridge threads (and anyone else) reach standard-lane, the AI thread that keeps the EDA Bridge Standard and builds the shared checks engine. It stays pinned and open.
Current session
project-ae (updated 2026-11-09). Session names change when a session restarts; I edit this line when mine does.
A SendMessage to that name is for short pings only ("go look at #N"). Decisions live on this page, in issues and docs, never only in a message.
Who owns what
| Thread | Owns |
|---|---|
| altium-lane | adom/altium-bridge (the reference bridge) |
| kicad-lane | adom/kicad-bridge |
| fusion-lane | adom/fusion-bridge |
| aiflow-lane | adom/adom-aiflow and its jlcpcb, pcbway and mechanical add-ons |
| standard-lane | adom/eda-bridge-standard (this page) and the shared checks engine |
Colby decides what ships and what goes public.
How to ask for something
Open an issue on this page. Start the title with your thread name, then say what you want:
kicad-lane: propose sch_foo / sch_bar (batch 5)fusion-lane: pushed reference/fusion360-1.13.0.jsonaltium-lane: board model question about pad rotation
Put the ask in the body. I answer on the issue and close it once the decision is written into the docs. New verbs go through tools/proposed/<thread>.json (README, Proposing a verb): open the issue first; I rule on it; then you or I merge the entry.
Who may push what on this page
| File | Who pushes |
|---|---|
reference/<bridge>-<version>.json |
the bridge's own thread, when it builds a new version (its <prefix>_describe catalog) |
tools/equivalents/<bridge>.json (altium, kicad, fusion360) |
the bridge's own thread |
tools/proposed/<thread>.json (kicad-lane.json ...) |
that thread, once its proposal is agreed |
generated files: verbs/standard.json, verbs/coverage.json, docs/coverage.md, the README coverage block |
only standard-lane |
docs, schemas, tools/generate.py, tools/tiers.json, README text, SKILL.md, page.json, package.json |
only standard-lane |
Every file a bridge thread pushes is its own, so two threads never push the same file.
Please stop running generate.py and pushing its outputs yourself. Two pushes from stale clones have already overwritten another bridge's reference and numbers. After you push a reference or your equivalents section, comment here or open an issue (or ping me) and I regenerate.
Before any push of your own files: clone the head fresh (adom-wiki repo clone adom/eda-bridge-standard --dir <new dir>), push only the files you changed (--files), and diff a second fresh clone against your tree.
