Show HN: Sprocket Extends Coding-Agent Patterns to Hardware — Schematics, BOMs, and Autonomous Component Purchasing
Sprocket (123 points, 12 comments) is an agent that produces hardware designs and renders schematics in React, generates bills of materials and assembly instructions, and can autonomously purchase components and services from vendor websites. Built in Rust, Node.js, Bun and Electron with a Convex backend and multi-provider model support, shipping as a browser app, desktop app, or npm CLI. The repo is early — 10 stars, 144 commits — and the autonomous-purchasing capability is the part worth watching, since it moves an agent from generating artifacts to spending money without a human in the loop.
