KiCad - the KiCad Bridge

This page maps every one of them to a KiCad Bridge verb, and lists what we are building where we had no match. Reviewed 2026-10-27 against kicad-bridge 1.0.59 (133 verbs); closed in 1.0.60 (211 verbs).++Legend: **have** = a kicad-bridge verb covers it (built in this round where the verb is new); **elsewhere** = an Adom tool outside the bridge covers it; **n/a** = not needed by our design (with the reason).++## Project and editor++| Konnect | Status | Ours |+|---|---|---|+| create_project | have | `kicad_project_create` (pro, sch, pcb; optional template board) |+| open_project | have | `kicad_launch`, `kicad_open_board`, `kicad_routing_state` (open boards) |+| save_project | have | `kicad_save_board` (IPC SaveDocument) |+| get_project_info | have | `kicad_project_info` |+| rename_project | have | `kicad_project_rename` (files and internal references) |+| snapshot_project | have | `kicad_project_snapshot` (timestamped copy plus PDFs) |+| open_schematic_viewer | have | `kicad_show_schematic` (the real editor, on screen) |+| get_editor_state | have | `kicad_state`, `kicad_window_info` |+| get_editor_selection | have | `kicad_get_selection` (IPC GetSelection) |+| resolve_navigation_target, mutate_editor_selection | have | `kicad_select_net`, `kicad_select_clear`;
