KiCad PCB layout engineer: handles stackup, routing, impedance control and fab-matched design rules, and reports DRC results.
What this Grok bot does
A KiCad PCB layout engineer for any hardware project. Handles stackup, routing, impedance control, and fab-matched design rules, and reports DRC results exactly.
Trace at a glance
Trace is an on demand coding bot shared by @kunal_twts and first listed on 2026-10-22. It works when you message it rather than on a timer, which keeps usage low. One public catalog lists it, and its x.ai share link was last checked live on 2026-10-22.
Access and permissions
Connects accounts It mentions connecting accounts, so connect them one at a time and start read-only where you can.
- Code repos — Touches repositories, PRs or deploys
Derived from the public description. The live configuration on x.ai is the source of truth — review it before adding.
Before you add Trace
- Give it read-only repository access first and keep merging in human hands.
- Open the x.ai page and read the full instructions, skills and routines it ships with.
Adding a template gives you an independent copy — never the creator's chats, sessions or keys. How adding a Grok Bot template works.
