1. ODB++ folder detected - Directory containing matrix/, steps/, misc/ folders
2. Cadence file detected - .brd or .sip file, or Cadence .out directory
3. PCB-related queries - Layer, net, component, feature, distance measurement requests
4. DFM verification - Clearance checks, short detection, design rule validation
5. Keywords present - ODB++, PCB, Cadence, Allegro, layer, netlist, DRC
