Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00064 | $0.01971 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00026 | $0.00788 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00013 | $0.00394 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00006 | $0.00197 |
Grade A, and why
ki-stack-live 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 1mo 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.

Preamble (run first)
Run this before choosing a KiCad workflow:
KI_STACK_DIR="${KI_STACK_DIR:-skills/ki-stack}"
"$KI_STACK_DIR/bin/ki-stack-update-check" 2>/dev/null || true
"$KI_STACK_DIR/bin/kicad-project-find" . 2>/dev/null | sed -n '1,80p' || true
"$KI_STACK_DIR/bin/kicad-version" 2>/dev/null || true
"$KI_STACK_DIR/bin/kicad-python-smoke" 2>/dev/null || true
Read these when the task touches the area:

Stack Rules
- PCB editor interaction or current selection: use
kicad-pythonIPC. - Render, import/export, DRC, ERC, fabrication, 3D outputs: use
kicad-cli. - Schematic/library/project file edits: use
kicad-skip,kiutils-rs, or another structured parser. Do not hand-roll S-expression edits when a parser fits. - Parts search and KiCad-ready vendor artifacts: check
https://pcbparts.dev/early. - File format truth: use KiCad developer file-format docs at
https://dev-docs.kicad.org/en/file-formats/. - No success claim without evidence: artifact path, DRC/ERC output, changed file list, or script output.
Completion Status
DONE: completed and verified.DONE_WITH_CONCERNS: completed but proof is partial, version-limited, or blocked by pre-existing issues.BLOCKED: prerequisite unavailable or command failed after a concrete attempt.NEEDS_CONTEXT: target file, object, board session, or intended result is unclear.
Purpose
This is the main action space for a running KiCad PCB editor.
Use kicad-python IPC for:
- current board
- current selection
- PCB editor state
- footprints, pads, tracks, vias, zones, layers
- undoable edits
- fast inspect/edit/render loops
What ships with it
1 file beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.
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.

ki-stack-live is a skill published in the GitHub repository Milind220/Ki-Stack (23 stars, last pushed 4mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 64 tokens to every session and 1,971 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5.5. 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 2026-08-31.
