This is very interesting, I'll need to give it a try. Currently been using Backplane (https://backplane.works/) which is a straight-up fork of Kicad.

glad you're trying it out. the reason for forking KiCad is to use the upstream/yet to be released IPC API features for schematic and PCB manipulation, vs. having the LLM directly edit or have to interact with S-expressions. Many ways to skin a cat.

I use Backplane more for overall "acceleration" of hardware vs. proompt -> product stuff (this is still mostly slop imo)

Yep, I think that's a very pragmatic decision given the state of the KiCad project (not that KiCad bad, but the current stable release lacks agentic-friendly hooks which will hopefully land in 11).
