KiKit is a Python library, KiCAD plugin, and CLI tool that automates common KiCAD PCB workflow tasks such as panelization, manufacturing data export, and multi-board projects. It makes panel creation repeatable via scripted commands instead of manual Pcbnew editing.

Use cases

panelize a PCB for manufacturing
export gerbers and manufacturing data from KiCAD
create mouse bites and v-cuts between boards
manage multi-board projects in KiCAD
generate board presentation pages
automate PCB fabrication outputs with a Makefile

When to choose

you regularly panelize KiCAD boards and want a repeatable scripted process
you need automated, manufacturer-preset-based export of fabrication data
you work with oddly shaped boards or multi-board projects in KiCAD

When to avoid

you don't use KiCAD for PCB design
you need a GUI-only panelization tool without scripting
your EDA toolchain is not KiCAD-based
