AI-powered reviewer that audits KiCad projects for hidden design issues.
kicad-happy is an open-source toolkit that adds deep KiCad understanding to AI agents. It converts project files into structured data, cross-checks values against expected behavior, and surfaces issues such as incomplete ESD coverage or incorrect feedback ratios.
The tool runs locally or in CI, building power trees, identifying functional blocks, computing filter cutoffs, and checking production readiness metrics like decoupling totals and connector grounding ratios. Reports are generated automatically from a simple project path command.
It is intended for hardware engineers and teams using KiCad who want automated second opinions on prototypes, especially those integrating AI coding assistants into their workflow.
Point the agent at a board directory and receive a full regulator tree with computed voltages, efficiencies, and dissipation estimates.
Automatically scan every header and port for missing ESD or back-EMF protection and receive a prioritized gap list.
Verify RC filters, voltage dividers, and crystal load capacitors by calculating real circuit values from the BOM.
