Commands

Wire AI uses slash commands to perform actions. Type any command at the prompt to execute it.

Session Commands

Commands for managing your design session.

/help

Display a list of all available commands.

/help

/reset

Start a new conversation, clearing the current context. Use this when you want to start fresh on a new design.

/reset

Warning

This will clear all current conversation history. Make sure to save your work first if needed.

/auth

Login to Wire AI. This is required before you can start designing circuits.

/auth

Follow the prompts to complete authentication.

Project Commands

Commands for managing your circuit design project.

/init

Initialize a new Wire AI project. This analyzes your current directory and creates a WIREAI.md file with project context.

/init

This is useful when:

  • Starting a new project from scratch
  • Adding Wire AI to an existing project with KiCad files

/load-project

Load an existing project from the outputs/ directory. This restores your previous design session including requirements, BOM, and schematic data.

/load-project

Use this to continue working on a previously saved design.

/sync-project

Synchronize your local KiCad changes with the Wire AI agent. If you’ve manually edited the schematic in KiCad, use this command to update the agent’s understanding.

/sync-project

Tip

Run this after making manual edits in KiCad to keep Wire AI in sync with your changes.

Generation Commands

Commands for generating design outputs.

/prepare-libraries

Prepare KiCad symbol libraries from your Bill of Materials. This downloads required symbols and footprints for all components in your BOM.

/prepare-libraries

This command:

  • Analyzes your current BOM
  • Downloads symbols from SnapEDA and UltraLibrarian
  • Prepares a local library for schematic generation

Note

This step is required before generating a schematic if you're using specific manufacturer parts.

/generate-schematic

Generate a KiCad schematic file (.kicad_sch) from your current design. This creates a complete schematic with all components and connections.

/generate-schematic

The schematic will be saved to outputs/schematic.kicad_sch.

/export-bom

Export your Bill of Materials to a CSV file. This creates a spreadsheet-compatible file with all component information.

/export-bom

The BOM includes:

  • Component reference designators
  • Part numbers
  • Manufacturer and distributor information
  • Quantities and pricing (when available)

Tips

  • Commands are case-insensitive: /Help works the same as /help
  • You can type commands at any point during a conversation
  • Use /reset if Wire AI seems confused or stuck
  • Always run /prepare-libraries before /generate-schematic for custom parts
