dsh-kicad
DeepSeek Harness plugin bundle for AI-driven KiCad PCB design, schematic editing, DRC/ERC, and simulation.
Install
$ dsh plugin --profile web add "$PWD/packages/kicad-bundle"Plugin Overview & Capabilities
AI-assisted organization based on the public repository snapshot. The content must be grounded in source evidence and does not replace compatibility or security verification.
Key Capabilities
- Headless reading and atomic editing of KiCad schematic (.kicad_sch) and board (.kicad_pcb) files
- Automated schematic ERC and board DRC validation using native kicad-cli
- PCB auto-placement and auto-routing integration using Freerouting
- SPICE analog circuit simulation via ngspice with requirement assertion testing
- Static MCU wiring verification and firmware simulation for ATtiny and classic ESP32 via QEMU
- Automated fabrication export (Gerbers, drill files, BOM, CPL, 3D renders) gated by KiCad DRC checks
- Interactive 2D (KiCanvas / SVG) and 3D (three.js) workspace sidebar viewers with follow-agent support
Useful For
- Designing, updating, and reviewing electronic schematics directly inside DeepSeek Harness
- Synchronizing schematics to PCB layouts with automated block placement and routing
- Verifying circuit logic against design rules and manufacturing limits (JLCPCB, PCBWay)
- Simulating analog circuit performance and firmware behavior without leaving the agent workspace
Who It Fits
- Hardware engineers and electronics designers using KiCad
- Embedded systems developers verifying MCU pinouts and firmware scenarios
- Makers and prototyping engineers looking for AI-assisted circuit and PCB layout workflows
Documented Limitations
- Requires KiCad 8+ with kicad-cli installed locally or via Flatpak
- Auto-routing requires an external Java 25+ runtime and Freerouting JAR
- Analog simulation requires an external ngspice installation and components must supply SPICE models
- Firmware simulation is limited to ATtiny25/45/85 and classic ESP32 (via Espressif QEMU); unmodeled peripherals or crash conditions cannot be verified
- Does not currently support hierarchical sheet creation, bus editing, or graphical items
DSH Compatibility
Version-specific runtime evidence collected by DSH Plugin. A missing result means we have not tested that combination yet.
Security Signals
Objective signals discovered from package metadata and source inspection. These are not a guarantee that a plugin is safe.
package.json declares 0 runtime, 24 development, 4 peer, and 0 optional dependencies.
package.json declares DSH bundle metadata.
GitHub reports the repository license as MIT.
A root package.json was captured and can be inspected by the registry.
Public GitHub source metadata is available for this registry snapshot.
