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.
/resetWarning
/auth
Login to Wire AI. This is required before you can start designing circuits.
/authFollow 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.
/initThis 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-projectUse 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-projectTip
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-librariesThis command:
- Analyzes your current BOM
- Downloads symbols from SnapEDA and UltraLibrarian
- Prepares a local library for schematic generation
Note
/generate-schematic
Generate a KiCad schematic file (.kicad_sch) from your current design. This creates a complete schematic with all components and connections.
/generate-schematicThe 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-bomThe BOM includes:
- Component reference designators
- Part numbers
- Manufacturer and distributor information
- Quantities and pricing (when available)

Tips
- Commands are case-insensitive:
/Helpworks the same as/help - You can type commands at any point during a conversation
- Use
/resetif Wire AI seems confused or stuck - Always run
/prepare-librariesbefore/generate-schematicfor custom parts
