Hierarchical sheets, real KiCad symbols pulled from a 22,744-part index, net labels, electrical rules checking, and a title block that fills itself in. None of it needs the panel open — which is the only reason the panel can be trusted with any of it.

The sheet
01
A design does not have to fit on one page. Hierarchical sheets split a project into blocks — power, a microcontroller, an interface — each with its own drawing and its own place in the project tree, wired together by the labels that cross sheet boundaries.
Where the symbols come from →
Every symbol on a Rivet sheet is a real KiCad symbol, pulled from the same index the app builds at startup: 22,744 of them, across 221 libraries, searchable by name, value or keyword the moment you place a part.
Then the board →The drawing sheet
02
Every schematic sits on a drawing sheet: a border, ticks along the edges to call a position out by, and a title block ruled into the bottom-right corner. That block is a set of fields — title, revision, date, company, four comments — edited in a panel rather than typed onto the drawing. The date arrives filled in; the rest stays blank until you fill it, which is the right way round, because an empty revision is less trouble than a wrong one.
Setting the sheet up →Before it is a board
03
ERC reads the sheet the way a second engineer would — pins that never got connected, labels that look identical but are not, a supply net with nothing driving it. The agent can run it on its own work, and it is the same check on the same toolbar for when the panel is closed: one command, one result, whoever asked for it.
Clean ERC is not a formality here. Carrying the sheet across to the board pushes its netlist onto the layout as it stands — whatever the sheet actually says, mistakes included — so catching them here is cheaper than catching them in copper.
It also reads and writes the format your existing parts are already in — no conversion step, no lossy round trip.
