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.
