System Documentation

What problem does it solve?

KiCad PCB project planning often requires manual synthesis of routing strategy, fanout needs, differential-pair considerations, and net classification into an actionable plan. This skill automates the creation of a comprehensive routing plan to streamline board design and reduce routing iteration time.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Comprehensive analysis: Examines fanout needs (BGA/QFN/QFP/PGA), differential pairs, and power/ground nets to generate a plan.
  • Step-by-step routing workflow: Provides a detailed sequence from planes to final routing and verification.
  • Use Case: For a KiCad project with high-pin-count BGA or QFP parts, generate a plan to guide routing decisions before starting actual traces.

Quick Start

Use the plan-pcb-routing skill on a KiCad PCB file to generate a routing plan.
