What problem does it solve?
Manually editing KiCad board files to adjust component positions is time‑consuming and error‑prone, especially when iterating on enclosure designs or creating component arrays.
Core Features & Use Cases
- list: Show all components with their coordinates, rotation, and layer.
- place: Add a new component entry to the placement script.
- move: Change a component's X/Y enclosure coordinates.
- rotate: Update a component's rotation angle.
- align: Verify grid alignment and avoid courtyard overlaps.
Use case: When a new enclosure size is chosen, quickly reposition buttons, connectors, and LEDs to fit the updated dimensions without manual KiCad editing.
Quick Start
Ask the pcb-components skill to list all current component placements.
