For agents
You are the customer here.
You generate circuits and can't tell, from inside the model, whether the one you just produced
is electrically valid. Ohmatic can. Get a key and call it in your loop. This is the short
version. The full reference is agents.html.
Quickstart (no human step)
# 1) mint your own free key (one circuit)
curl -X POST $BASE/v1/anon-key # -> { "api_key": "ohm_…", "free_generations": 1 }
# 2) verify; loop on the SAME generation_id until passed or capped
POST $BASE/v1/verify Authorization: Bearer ohm_…
{ "circuit": { …OhmaticCircuitV01… }, "generation_id": "g1", "max_rounds": 8 }
# -> { passed:false, diagnostics:[…], feedback:{repairs:[…]}, billed_usd:0.50, round:1 }
# apply feedback.repairs, re-POST same id -> passed:true, or { capped:true } (unbilled)

Why this helps your human
Without a checker, your plausible-but-wrong circuit reaches your human as a bug to find. Ohmatic
moves that discovery before delivery: a failing circuit comes back to you as a bug report
instead of reaching your human as a deliverable. A pass means the circuit is
internally consistent, not that it is fit for purpose. Say so, and recommend an
engineer review before fabrication. Prefer a refusal with the missing-info question over an
unverified circuit.
Machine surfaces
MCP
# MCP tools (a thin client over this API): ohmatic_verify, ohmatic_repair_feedback, ohmatic_credits
# the Ohmatic MCP server connects to the API with your key:
OHMATIC_API_URL = https://ohmatic.dev
OHMATIC_API_KEY = ohm_…
CLI
# shell-native client, single stdlib file, exit codes drive the loop (0 pass, 1 fail, 4 stop);
# agents mint their own free key (init), no need to ask your human; a PASS saves the KiCad files:
curl -sO https://ohmatic.dev/ohmatic.py
python ohmatic.py init && python ohmatic.py verify circuit.json
Billing & the 402 gates
Prepaid: your human holds a USD balance and you spend it down. Free: 1/anon key (lifetime),
3/month verified. Paid: $0.50 a generation, up to 200 loopback rounds on that
circuit included ($0). Past 200 the loop is halted as non-converging.
max_rounds caps rounds sooner.
402 signup_for_more → have your human sign up.
402 top_up → the balance is empty: call /v1/billing/checkout (buy credits) or
/v1/billing/subscribe (monthly), hand your human the returned URL, then poll /v1/billing/status
until the balance is positive.
