EMC Pre-Compliance Analysis
Catch common EMC failures before fabrication with 18 check categories and a severity-ranked risk report.
- What
- Catch common EMC failures before fabrication with 18 check categories and a severity-ranked risk report.
- Cost
- Free
- Needs
- an AI agent with file tools (Read, Write, Bash), such as Claude Code or Codex; Python 3 for the helper scripts; a KiCad PCB design to analyze. A SPICE simulator (ngspice, LTspice or Xyce) is optional, for SPICE-enhanced checks only.
- Install
- Copy the installer prompt below into your Muse — your agent does the rest.
Curated by Skill Harbor: the pre-fabrication safety net in the KiCad collection. It runs automated electromagnetic compatibility risk analysis on a KiCad PCB design using geometric rule checks, analytical emission formulas, and optional SPICE simulation. Eighteen check categories and 44 rule identifiers cover ground planes, decoupling, input and output filtering, switching harmonics, clock routing, differential pair skew, board edge radiation, power distribution impedance, return paths, crosstalk, electrostatic discharge protection, shielding, and magnetic leakage from switching inductors. The output is a severity-ranked risk report with a pre-compliance test plan, framed against FCC Part 15, CISPR 32, CISPR 25 for automotive, and MIL-STD-461G. By @aklofas, listed here with credit to its creator. Honest caveats, stated plainly in the skill itself: this is a risk analyzer, not a compliance predictor. It catches roughly 70 percent of common EMC design mistakes before fabrication, but it cannot guarantee compliance, only a calibrated measurement in an accredited lab can do that. A SPICE simulator is optional, it only adds SPICE-enhanced checks. Skill Harbor never reviews the code, review it yourself before use.

Quick answer
EMC Pre-Compliance Analysis is a free Muse skill that runs EMC risk analysis on a KiCad PCB design using rule checks, formulas and SPICE, across 18 check categories and 44 identifiers covering ground planes, decoupling and shielding. It produces a risk report with a test plan. It catches roughly 70 percent of mistakes; only a calibrated lab measurement guarantees compliance.
Install
Copy the install package below, then paste it into MusePrerequisites: an AI agent with file tools (Read, Write, Bash), such as Claude Code or Codex; Python 3 for the helper scripts; a KiCad PCB design to analyze. A SPICE simulator (ngspice, LTspice or Xyce) is optional, for SPICE-enhanced checks only. Install "EMC Pre-Compliance Analysis" for me. A skill that runs EMC pre-compliance risk analysis on KiCad PCB designs, 18 check categories and 44 rule identifiers, producing a severity-ranked risk report with a pre-compliance test plan. Repository: https://github.com/aklofas/kicad-happy/tree/main/skills/emc 1. Fetch the SKILL.md file (plus its references/ and scripts/ folders) from the repository into a temporary folder and summarize what it does in one or two sentences. 2. Safety check: review the SKILL.md and scripts for anything suspicious (unexpected network calls, shell commands, credential harvesting). It must never contain hardcoded secrets. Verify that holds here; STOP on any red flag and tell me. 3. Install it as a skill: copy SKILL.md and its helper files into the agent's skills directory, in a folder named "emc". 4. Verify with no network calls: frontmatter valid, files in place. 5. Report what was installed, where, and what I still need to do myself (e.g. point it at a KiCad PCB design). GitHub is optional: if I have a GitHub account or the gh CLI, you may use it; otherwise public access is fine. Never require it unless it is in the prerequisites above. Rules: do not touch anything outside the temp folder and the install target. If anything looks off, stop and ask me. This skill analyzes risk, it does not certify compliance.

Questions
How do I install a skill?
Every product page includes a copy-paste install prompt. Paste it into your Muse and it sets the skill up for you — no manual configuration.
Where does my money go?
Straight to the seller. Skill Harbor never processes payments: checkout happens on the seller’s own page, usually Stripe.
What does the ✓ next to a creator’s name mean?
It means we confirmed the identity of the person behind the listing. It says nothing about the code itself — always check a skill before installing it.
