Placing objects
place_junction
Place an explicit connection dot.
Usage
place_junction <X> <Y>Angle brackets mark required arguments and square brackets optional ones. Available in the schematic editor. You can issue this yourself, and the AI agent issues the identical command — there is no second, hidden interface.
Arguments
XRequired
YRequired
2 required, 0 optional.
Behaviour
Schema already infers a junction wherever three or more wire ends meet, so this is for the case inference cannot see: asserting that two crossing wires DO connect. Two wires that merely cross are not connected without one. Millimetres. Refused if one is already there.
How the agent uses it
- The agent works in a perceive / act / verify / recover loop: it describes the design, issues
place_junctionor another command, checks the result, and undoes the change if the check fails. - Commands report what they actually did. A refusal is a result, not a silent no-op — which is what lets the agent recover instead of building on a change that never happened.
- Anything the agent can do here, you can do yourself, and the reverse.
