kicad-manufacture

kicad-manufacture is a skill for Claude Code from nevenfo/kicad-agentic-mcp. It costs 79 tokens per session (1,840 once invoked), scanned A, original, AGPL-3.0.

A manufacturing workflow for KiCad electronics projects. It prepares the files a circuit-board factory or assembly service needs to make and assemble a board.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to generate Gerber files, bills of materials, pick-and-place data, assembly files, and other production outputs for board manufacturing.
Why use it?
It organizes production outputs so fabrication does not depend on manually finding and exporting each required file. This helps prepare a design for an external manufacturer.

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

kicad-manufacture 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 12d 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.

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.
