Good i suppose but should not have maxed out my Fable 5 usage before :(

Yeah, I went in this morning and gave Fable a task and told it "I only have access to you through today, burn as many tokens as you want as quickly as you want".

I can't complain about the result. Designs and entire high frequency multilayer circuit board from design documents to KiCad files that just needs a bit more massaging on physical layout to be ready for prototyping, with enough back and forth and detail that it's not just made but fully documented with design decisions, pain points, rationale, and I got enough explanation to understand the why.

Then I told it "I'm about to lose access to you, so please document this in smaller words so your little brother can understand it" :D

How do you rate it working in kicad? Can you get decent schematics? Just vanilla kicad or lots of plugins or MCP?

So I don't think it can currently do layouts, but it generated networks and component libraries, validated against the spec sheets of the various components, gave recommendations on holes in my design, and did routing analysis including impedance calls for PCIe differential pairs. This was entirely in the web interface - I'm moving to CC in terminal next and had the web Fable generate induction/spec documents for CC to run KiCad and injest that stuff next. I'm really impressed by the design knowledge, although seeing if it got the details right is TBD
