I always wanted use Claude Code for PCB design. The tools are there (e.g., typeCAD, KiCad link to Claude Code), but the component data available has been quite limited. Agents are using component data from training data, leading to hallucinations. That's why I built this open-source registry on GitHub where anyone can contribute. You can think of this as an "npm" for hardware called hpm.
Imagine you type "hpm install" then you and your coding Agent instantly have updated specs (JSON for LLM readability), symbols, footprints, and 3D models for your KiCad projects.
This won't work without enough components. I can't build this registry alone, and I'm asking the community for help. Even 1 component per contributor would be very helpful. My goal is to get 1,000 of the most commonly used components.
