help

help is a command for Claude Code from rjwalters/kicad-tools. It costs 45 tokens per session (1,683 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A read-only guide to the installed /kct commands in a consumer repository using kicad-tools, software for designing printed circuit boards. It explains what each command does, how to invoke it, and the conventions that matter.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to discover /kct commands, understand their expected workflow, and choose where to start without opening or modifying a PCB design.
Why use it?
The available commands may vary by installation, and their documentation can otherwise become out of date. This guide reads the installed files to describe the actual commands without changing the project or circuit-board files.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

help scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 4d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 135 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

kct help

Orient a user inside a consumer PCB-design repo that has kicad-tools installed: which /kct:* skills are present, what each one is for, the load-bearing conventions, and where to start. This is a meta-skill — it describes the other skills by reading the files actually vendored under .claude/commands/kct/, so it never drifts from a version-skewed or --skills=-filtered install.

The kct namespace. This skill lives in .claude/commands/kct/ — the kicad-tools-native, harness-agnostic agent-tool namespace, invoked as /kct:help. It runs from inside a consumer repo and assumes nothing about the current directory being the kicad-tools source checkout.

Strictly read-only. This skill only reads .md files and (optionally) .kct/install-metadata.json to describe what is installed. It never invokes another /kct:* skill, never opens/modifies/routes/checks/exports a .kicad_pcb, and never writes any file. It takes no board argument because it never touches a board. See the Notes section.

Model selection

suggestedModel: sonnet. Reading frontmatter and rendering an orientation table is summarization, not frontier judgment. Model resolves through the harness's normal precedence chain (explicit dispatch param → harness role config → this doc's frontmatter suggestedModel → session default).

Arguments

Arguments: $ARGUMENTS

$ARGUMENTS is [<command>] — an optional skill name (e.g. ee-review). It is not a board path: this skill takes no board argument and touches no board.

Token Meaning
(none) Overview mode. Render a one-screen orientation: every installed /kct:* skill (one line each from its frontmatter), the load-bearing conventions, and a "start here" pointer.
<command> Detail mode. Summarize exactly one installed skill (<command>.md): its usage/arguments, what it does, one concrete example invocation, and whether it is read-only or writes to the board. If <command>.md does not exist, say so and fall back to the overview's skill list.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

help is a command published in the GitHub repository rjwalters/kicad-tools (53 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 45 tokens to every session and 1,683 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
