KiCad Board Audit

Public Made by Adom

by adom

Agent skill for auditing any KiCad board before fab: real ERC/DRC, pad-level netlist extraction from the .kicad_pcb, and a checklist for the bugs ERC can't see — floating mandatory pins, supply pins on GND, wrong straps, wrong-variant feedback dividers, missing pull-ups, impedance class misassignment — verified against datasheets and reported by severity.
