autoroute SKILL.md skillA
autoroute from mattpainter701/kicad_automations is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Route non-critical nets on a real KiCad PCB or Specctra DSN through Circuit Weaver's fail-closed Freerouting integration. Use after placement and net-class setup when the user requests autorouting, a validated SES session, routing diagnostics, or post-route cleanup. Keep critical power, RF, clock, crystal, switching, and differential nets manual.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# PCB Autorouting Produce a validated Specctra `.ses` session, or use `--routed-board` with a real PCB to import the session and publish a separate `.kicad_pcb` only after native KiCad DRC passes. Verify final-board hashes and surface all warnings. Successful autorouting does not grant fabrication approval. ## 1. Establish the routing source Accept either: - a real, pad-bearing `.kicad_pcb` updated from the schematic in KiCad; or - a Specctra `.dsn` exported by the user from KiCad PCB Editor. Reject placement review JSON/SVG/HTML and any padless preview/template. Before routing, verify: - footprints have unique references, physical pads, and named nets; - the board outline and stackup are final enough for routing; - footprint positions and orientations have been reviewed; - net classes, clearances, track widths, and via rules match the selected fab; - zones are unfilled and obsolete teardrops are removed; and - critical nets listed below are already routed or deliberately excluded. ## 2. Run the supported CLI Use a finite timeout and write an SES: ```bash circuit-weaver autoroute board.kicad_pcb \ --output board.ses \ --effort medium \ --timeout 300 ``` …

How to install
mdr add mattpainter701/kicad_automations/autoroute@sha256:f13fa870470bc0c3The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261016.0d21ce3, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
