ki-stack-symbols

ki-stack-symbols is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Milind220/Ki-Stack. It costs 45 tokens per session (783 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A KiCad workflow for working with electronic-symbol libraries. KiCad symbols are reusable circuit-drawing parts, such as resistors, connectors, and integrated circuits.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to inspect symbol libraries, make offline library or file changes, regenerate symbols, render them, and verify the results.
Why use it?
It helps keep symbol inspection, editing, rendering, and checking in one workflow, with visual exports used to prove that changes are correct.

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

ki-stack-symbols 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.

Purpose

This Phase 2 domain skill orchestrates symbol-focused work by composing:

  • ki-stack-render
  • ki-stack-file-surgery
  • ki-stack-verify

Use it when the user's intent is specifically about symbols or symbol libraries.

What it covers

  • symbol rendering
  • symbol library inspection
  • symbol-side offline edits and regeneration workflows
  • symbol verification through exports

Routing rules

Use ki-stack-render when

  • the user wants to inspect or compare a symbol visually
  • the task is to export symbol artifacts

Use ki-stack-file-surgery when

  • the symbol task is a deterministic library or file transform
  • preserving file structure and tokens matters

Use ki-stack-verify after

  • any symbol edit that should be proven visually

Phase 1: Orient

  1. Confirm the task is symbol-scoped.
  2. Identify the .kicad_sym file and exact symbol name.
  3. If the symbol name is missing, stop and ask for it or search the library contents first.

Phase 2: Inspect

The most useful first step is usually rendering the target symbol.

Canonical command:

skills/ki-stack/bin/kicad-render symbol-svg library.kicad_sym out_dir --symbol Device:R

If the task is an offline edit, inspect the relevant library files before mutation.

Phase 3: Execute

For symbol work in v1, prefer deterministic offline workflows over speculative live APIs.

Common execution path:

  1. identify the symbol library file
  2. render the baseline symbol
  3. apply the symbol-side change offline
  4. render the symbol again
  5. report before/after artifacts

Phase 4: Verify

The main proof for symbol tasks is visual and export-based.

Prefer:

  1. render before
  2. change symbol
  3. render after
  4. report both artifact paths

If the task affects downstream library behavior, note any limits in verification.

Common symbol workflows

Workflow: inspect a symbol visually

  1. render the symbol as SVG
  2. convert to PNG if a raster artifact is needed
  3. report the artifact path

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.
