silkscreenbeta

Your AI bench partner for hardware integration.

silkscreen turns your ECAD files, Gerbers and pinout documents into one assembly record, then works with your AI harness of choice to resolve conflicts before integration, guide checks at the bench, and answer any questions you have, down to every pin and wire.

The silkscreen desktop app: an assembly of four boards with a pin traced across them, the DAQ pinout on the left and a Codex chat proposing bench checks on the right.

Free, offline and yours.

No account

Download it, open a project, start working. There's nothing to sign up for.

No subscription

silkscreen is free for personal use. Your agent runs on the plan or API access you already have.

Fully offline

The app, your projects and your design files stay on your machine. The only network traffic is what your own harness sends to its model.

Trace any net across the assembly.

Hover a pin, or pick a net:

Start from whatever you have.

Hand over a whole delivered folder and silkscreen sorts boards from documents by what's inside them. Design files when you have them, documents when you don't, and the bench when nothing else agrees, all in one wiring record that keeps track of which source said what.

Design files

  • KiCad 5 and later
  • Gerber ZIPs and Excellon drill
  • EAGLE
  • IPC-D-356 netlists

Documents

  • ICD and pinout spreadsheets
  • Wire lists
  • Schematic PDFs
  • Datasheets
  • Project bundles

Bench

  • Continuity checks
  • Isolation checks
  • Meter readings
  • Anomaly log

One wiring record, from the first file to the bench.

Every line says how we know it.

Bring your own agent.

Claude Code, Codex or Antigravity drive silkscreen through the same operations as the interface. They trace signals, read the ICDs and schematics, plan bench checks and explain what a conflict does electrically.

Each chat runs in Proposals only, where every change waits for you, or Auto mode, where changes apply at once and are logged in Activity. Web lookups for datasheets stay off until you allow them.

You bring your own deployment. silkscreen drives the harness CLI you already have installed, signed in however you like: a Claude or ChatGPT subscription, API keys, or your company's own access. silkscreen never sees your credentials, and design files never leave your machine.

This bench's DAQ won't power up. Find every interface problem and cite the exact rows and pins.

Two problems. Harness W1 crosses DAQ J1.1 with J1.3 and J1.2 with J1.4 against harness-w1-rev-a.csv rows 2 to 5. Tracing SW_3V3 from EPS U2.4 reaches ground on all four boards, so the switched rail is shorted and the DAQ can't power up.

The OBC ICD is also stale. Pinout!C19 and C20 swap J3.7 and J3.8, and the schematic agrees with copper.

4 wires · 4 conflicts resolved · 4 checks to run at the bench

You deserve better than spreadsheets.
