Build a genuinely wired, showcase-grade KiCad schematic with KiCad MCP Pro — wired sub-circuit islands plus a tidy label bus — instead of the correct-but-plain by-name-label output of auto layout.
Drive a KiCad schematic to a professional, cosmetically clean state through a score → fix → render → verify loop using KiCad MCP Pro cosmetic tools.
KiCad MCP workflow for ERC/DRC execution, issue triage, waiver review, and revalidation.
KiCad MCP manufacturing release workflow for Gerbers, drill files, BOM, pick-and-place, DFM, release evidence, and final human review.
Safe KiCad PCB design assistance workflow using KiCad MCP board inspection, placement, routing, stackup, and quality-gate tools.
KiCad MCP schematic inspection and review workflow using ERC, connectivity, symbol, net, power, readability, and quality-gate tools.
