Skill Claude CodeCodex
Perform offline, structural KiCad file edits with kiutils-rs. Use when the task is better expressed as a deterministic file transformation, when no live KiCad session is needed, or when preserving KiCad syntax and formatting matters.
Skill Claude CodeCodex
Footprint-focused KiCad workflows built on top of the Phase 1 substrate skills. Use when the task is about footprint libraries, footprint inspection, footprint rendering, or proving footprint-side changes with deterministic exports.
Skill Claude CodeCodex
Control a running KiCad session through the official kicad-python IPC bindings. Use for PCB editor interactions, open-board state, current selection, live footprint/track/via/zone/layer work, undoable board mutations, and scripts that chain many KiCad IPC calls together.
Skill Claude CodeCodex
First-stop KiCad orientation skill. Use when starting any KiCad task, when the right substrate is unclear, when locating project files, when checking KiCad CLI or Python IPC availability, or when deciding between live IPC, kicad-cli, structured file edits, and parts search.
Skill Claude CodeCodex
Flagship PCB workflow skill for KiCad agents. Use for board-level work: current board inspection, selected items, footprints, pads, tracks, vias, zones, layers, board metadata, PCB rendering, DRC, fabrication exports, and PCB editor automation through kicad-python IPC.
Skill Claude CodeCodex
Render KiCad schematics, PCBs, symbols, and footprints into visual artifacts. Use when asked to view a KiCad object, generate SVG/PDF/PNG/JPEG outputs, inspect a design visually, produce before/after evidence, or prepare images for a vision-capable model.
Skill Claude CodeCodex
Schematic-focused KiCad workflows built on top of the Phase 1 substrate skills. Use when the task is about schematic pages, ERC, project text variables, sheet rendering, or proving schematic-side changes with exports and checks.
Skill Claude CodeCodex
Symbol-focused KiCad workflows built on top of the Phase 1 substrate skills. Use when the task is about symbol libraries, symbol inspection, symbol rendering, or proving symbol-side changes with deterministic exports.
Skill Claude CodeCodex
Verify KiCad changes with render-after-edit workflows, DRC/ERC, and evidence-first reporting. Use when a change has been made and the agent needs to prove the result instead of merely describing it.
