Field notes
The workflow accepts design files alongside ICDs, pinout spreadsheets, wire lists, schematics, and datasheets, keeping each original file in the project. Its agent integration offers Proposals mode, where changes wait for approval, or Auto mode, where changes apply and are logged in Activity. The page also says web lookups for datasheets remain off until the user allows them.
