# KiCad IPC API Rust
[![Ask DeepWiki](https://deepwiki.com/badge.svg)](https://deepwiki.com/Milind220/kicad-ipc-rust)
MIT-licensed Rust bindings for the KiCad IPC API.
## Current Status
Early scaffold phase. Core architecture + step-by-step implementation plan:
- `/Users/milindsharma/Developer/kicad-oss/kicad-ipc-rust/prompts/IPC_RUST_EXECUTION_PLAN.md`
- `/Users/milindsharma/Developer/kicad-oss/kicad-ipc-rust/proto/README.md`
## Roadmap
1. Async-first layered client (`v0.1.0`)
2. Full PCB read surface + trace write capability (`v0.1.0`)
3. Blocking wrapper parity (`v0.2.0`)
## Local Testing
- CLI runbook: `/Users/milindsharma/Developer/kicad-oss/kicad-ipc-rust/docs/TEST_CLI.md`
## KiCad v10 RC1.1 API Completion Matrix
Source of truth for this matrix:
- `/Users/milindsharma/Developer/kicad-oss/kicad-ipc-rust/proto/common/commands/base_commands.proto`
- `/Users/milindsharma/Developer/kicad-oss/kicad-ipc-rust/proto/common/commands/editor_commands.proto`
- `/Users/milindsharma/Developer/kicad-oss/kicad-ipc-rust/proto/common/commands/project_commands.proto`
- `/Users/milindsharma/Developer/kicad-oss/kicad-ipc-rust/proto/board/board_commands.proto`
- `/Users/milindsharma/Developer/kicad-oss/kicad-ipc-rust/proto/schematic/schematic_commands.proto`
Legend:
- `Implemented` = wrapped in current Rust client (`src/client.rs`).
- `Not yet` = exists in proto, not wrapped yet.
- Command messages only (request payloads); helper/response messages excluded.
