hw-codesign

For supported board families, turn an agent brief into a reviewable hardware candidate and an explicit fabrication-blocker report.

Release-only metadata. This is the long description prepared for the tagged v0.1.3 package. Its install command and versioned links become valid only after the release workflow publishes that tag and package. Before then, use the source-checkout installation in the repository README.

hw-codesign provides the hw CLI, the hw-mcp MCP server, and a typed, template-driven workflow for generating reviewable hardware candidates. Every gate is reported as pass, fail, or blocked; software checks do not become fabrication or physical-qualification claims.

Install after publication

Python 3.11 or newer is required.

python -m pip install "hw-codesign[mcp]==0.1.3"
hw --help

Start a candidate

mkdir my-hardware-workspace
cd my-hardware-workspace
hw --root . create-project my_usb_board --template rp2040_usb_device
hw --root . update-requirements my_usb_board \
  "Design a 2-layer RP2040 USB HID and CDC board powered from USB-C. Use Zephyr."
hw --root . design-candidate my_usb_board --brief \
  "Design a 2-layer RP2040 USB HID and CDC board powered from USB-C. Use Zephyr."
hw --root . export-standalone-review my_usb_board

The generated HTML review is self-contained. The tool is not an arbitrary-prompt PCB oracle, and generated artifacts remain candidates until all configured release and physical-evidence gates pass.
