From an intention to a reviewed design.
The part, the board, the bill of materials and the simulation live in one project folder — and agents plan the work with you, in the open.

Agents plan in the project's own registers.
Plan
A project is a folder with a project.json that holds its registers: requirements, assumptions, open questions, decisions and verification. Agents read them, add to them and work against them — so the reasoning behind a design is a file you can review, not a chat you have to scroll.
The example project takes one sentence — make ten 5 V LED indicator boards — to a reviewed draft: schematic, board, BOM and checks.
Design in 3D. Or design in code.
The 3D app models parts with a history you can edit, and imports STEP, IGES, STL, GLB, OBJ, 3MF and more. Prefer code? Write parts in TypeScript, JSCAD, replicad or CadQuery-style Python and evaluate them in a sandbox.

Electronics
A schematic and its board are two files.
board.sch.tsx and board.pcb.tsx are code, and the board names its schematic — cross-probing works, and each stays a readable file. KiCad goes in and comes out.
The built-in generator knows a bounded set of circuits. Ask it for something outside that set and it says no, rather than drawing a different circuit that merely looks right.
The BOM is a spreadsheet. A real one.
Bill of materials
Open bom.xlsx in the sheets app, edit it beside the design, and export it back to Excel for your supplier. No proprietary parts database between you and the numbers.
Fail in simulation, as often as you like.
One simulation format covers rigid bodies, fields, particles and more, running in your browser. Trial files sweep a parameter across many runs and record each one. Drag a body with your mouse and the force is recorded too.
A simulated result is always labelled simulated. It never counts as physical evidence.

Partners
Coordinate with the people who build it.
Agents can write to suppliers and partners through your mailbox, Slack, Teams or Discord — under an outreach grant that limits who and how often, with every message recorded before it is sent.
Replies still come to you. Purchasing stays a decision you make.
Watch the whole job on one screen.
Oversight
Dashboards are files too: a 3D view, the BOM, the run log and an agent's thread, arranged once and opened with one click. Everything the agents did is in the project's runs, in order, with who did it.
Start with the example.
The LED-indicator example ships with the workbench: the schematic, the board, the BOM and the decisions behind them, ready to read.
