Open Telegraph: pocket-size ESP32-S3 Morse key, built end to end with this workflow. Every decision, every check, every file is public. Read the build story Browse the repo How it works Nothing commits without its gate. You write the brief. copperhead runs eight stages against it, each one its own agent run, each one committing only once its gate finds the work on disk. A run that goes wrong stops instead of drifting. inbrief.md what you want, written in your own words 01spec docs/SPEC.md gatea budgets section, actually filled in 02architecture docs/SUBSYSTEMS.md gatereal reasoning under every subsystem 03parts docs/BOM.md gatepart numbers chosen against datasheets 04schematic design.kicad_sch gatesymbols placed, docs agree, ERC clean 05layout design.kicad_pcb gatefootprints on the board, DRC clean 06outputs gerbers / drill / STEP gategerbers actually on disk 07firmware firmware/ / pins.h gatesources on disk, pins from the pinout 08dev plan docs/DEVPLAN.md gatea written bring-up and test plan outa design package gerbers, firmware, docs. One commit per stage. Every hop is a gate: no real work on disk, no commit. Copper border: verified by KiCad itself, ERC and DRC clean. Read the long version, one stage at a time Pricing Pay to not run it yourself. copperhead is open core. The CLI is free and always will be, and it does the real work on its own. You pay to host it, to work as a team or to give an auditor what they ask for. Talk to sales CLI Free Apache-2.0, forever Design on your own, on your own machine.

What is copperhead? An open source AI agent that designs, documents and verifies printed circuit boards. You describe a change or hand it a product brief, and it edits your real KiCad files, updates every document that references them, and runs KiCad's own checks until they pass. Longer introduction here. What problem does it actually solve? Drift. A hardware design spreads one decision across a schematic, a bill of materials, a power budget and several documents, and nothing breaks when they fall out of sync. The inconsistency is found at bring-up, and a respin costs 5,000 to 50,000 dollars and six to eight weeks. The full argument is here. What do I need installed? Node 20 or newer, KiCad with kicad-cli on your path and a model API key of your own. Then npm i -g copperhead. Does it work on a design that already exists? That is the main case. Point it at a KiCad repository, run copperhead init and start asking for changes. It can also run the full pipeline from a written brief with copperhead create, but iterating on real designs is what it is best at. What will it refuse to do? It refuses to run on a dirty git tree, refuses to edit any design file before a validated change proposal exists and refuses changes that break a budget or constraint you have documented, citing the line it would violate. It also never invents a part number it cannot justify from a datasheet. Will it rewrite my whole schematic? No. Edits are surgical changes to the KiCad s-expression source, so your diffs stay small and reviewable and untouched parts of the file stay byte-identical. A tool that regenerates the file to move one net has made its own work impossible to review. 9 more questions Start building Never ship a board your docs no longer describe. copperhead is open source and free to use.
