About
PCBClaw is an OpenClaw AgentSkill that turns conversational PCB requirements into editable KiCad projects, verified JLCPCB manufacturing candidates, and cost comparisons for JLCPCB's Economic PCBA assembly service. It works as an agent workflow with offline helper scripts rather than an autonomous CAD engine, and the author built it by recreating an Astra PCB demo while adding basic design-for-manufacturing checks and parts-availability search.
At a glance
PCBClaw gives OpenClaw a workflow for turning a board brief into editable KiCad files and a manufacturing candidate. It is worth evaluating for early board planning if an engineer will review the result before fabrication.
Good fit
KiCad users who want an agent to organize requirements, run checks and prepare a candidate for review.
Consider something else when
Skip it if you need automatic electrical sign-off or a board you can send straight to production.
Start here
Give it a simple board brief with power, connectors and size. Review the editable schematic and compare the reported electrical and design-rule checks with KiCad before considering a supplier quote.
Cost and requirements
MIT-licensed beta. The documented setup uses OpenClaw, Python 3.10 or later and KiCad CLI, with Ubuntu as the initial administration target. Fabrication and assembly are separate costs.
Limits to know
Rule checks cannot establish that the board will behave as intended. Review the design and test a prototype. Supplier quoting can require browser or account access.
