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 | $0.00039 | $0.02433 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00019 | $0.01216 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00008 | $0.00487 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00004 | $0.00243 |
Grade A, and why
schematic-plan 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 11d 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 — 247 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
EVERY KiCad operation has a corresponding MCP tool. Do NOT claim a tool does not exist without first listing all available tools. Key tools that MUST be used instead of file writes:
add_symbol— create custom symbol definitions in .kicad_sym filescreate_symbol_library— create new .kicad_sym library filescreate_schematic— create new .kicad_sch filescreate_project— create new .kicad_pro project files If you find yourself thinking "there's no MCP tool for this," you are wrong. Check the tool list again.
Schematic Plan
Pure planning phase — no file modifications. Only inspection MCP
tools (list_lib_symbols, get_symbol_info). Note:
get_symbol_pins requires a schematic with placed symbols and cannot
be used during planning. Use get_symbol_info instead — it reads
pin definitions directly from library files.
Inputs: specs/bom.md (validated BOM from circuit-design)
Outputs: specs/schematic-plan.md (placement and wiring plan)
Response Format
When this skill activates, print exactly:
Using schematic-plan to plan placement and wiring from the validated BOM.
Then immediately proceed to the Pre-flight checks. This is a
mechanical planning phase — do not ask the user what to do. Read
specs/bom.md and execute the planning steps.
Report progress at natural milestones (after page size calculation, after coordinate assignment, after wiring plan). Keep status updates to one line each.
Pre-flight
- Verify
specs/bom.mdexists - Verify BOM reviewer returned APPROVED
- Read the BOM and count components per stage
- If modifying an existing hierarchical schematic, run
validate_hierarchyto inspect current annotation state — the plan must account for existing ref conflicts
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.

schematic-plan is a skill published in the GitHub repository ProductOfAmerica/mcp-server-kicad (8 stars, last pushed 26d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 39 tokens to every session and 2,433 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 2026-08-31.
