What is datasheet-interpreter?

A tool that reads component datasheet PDFs and extracts practical specifications such as pin assignments, I2C addresses, timing details, and register maps. A datasheet is the manufacturer’s technical reference for a component.

Use it with a datasheet URL or local PDF when building maker projects, checking wiring, or looking up chip specifications.

It avoids searching through long PDF documents for the few details needed to connect or program a part.

SkillSpector: 1 finding, up to medium

These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00067	$0.03092
Opus 5.5	$0.00027	$0.01237
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00013	$0.00618
Haiku 4.5	$0.00007	$0.00309

Security

Grade A, and why

datasheet-interpreter 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 2mo ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/extract_specs.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

Datasheet Interpreter

Extracts actionable specifications from component datasheet PDFs.

Resources

Scripts

scripts/extract_specs.py - Downloads datasheet PDFs from URLs and extracts specs using pattern matching

References

references/common-parameters.md - Guide to understanding datasheet parameters

Quick Start

# Extract specs from a datasheet URL
uv run --no-project scripts/extract_specs.py --url "https://www.sparkfun.com/datasheets/Sensors/Temperature/DHT22.pdf"

# Extract specs with markdown output
uv run --no-project scripts/extract_specs.py --url "https://cdn-shop.adafruit.com/datasheets/SSD1306.pdf" --format markdown

# Extract from local PDF file
uv run --no-project scripts/extract_specs.py --file "local_datasheet.pdf"

# Interactive mode
uv run --no-project scripts/extract_specs.py --interactive

When to Use

"What's the I2C address for this chip?"
"How do I connect this sensor?"
"What pins do what on this module?"
User shares a PDF datasheet URL
Need timing specs or register info
Quick reference without full driver generation

Relationship to Other Skills

datasheet-parser: Full driver library generation (lexus2k-style)
datasheet-interpreter (this): Quick spec extraction for immediate use

Information Extraction Workflow

Step 1: Request Datasheet

Please provide:
1. Component name (e.g., "BME280", "MPU6050")
2. Datasheet PDF file or URL (manufacturer version preferred)
3. What specific information you need:
   □ Pin assignments / pinout
   □ I2C/SPI address and protocol
   □ Operating conditions (voltage, current)
   □ Timing requirements
   □ Register map
   □ Example circuit
   □ All of the above

Step 2: Validate PDF Quality

Check For:

Searchable text (not scanned image)
Official manufacturer datasheet (not clone/distributor summary)
Revision/version number noted
Complete document (includes register tables if applicable)

If PDF Issues:

⚠️ This appears to be a [scanned image | partial datasheet | third-party summary].

For best results, please provide the official manufacturer datasheet from:
- [Manufacturer website link]
- Or search: "[component] datasheet pdf site:manufacturer.com"

What ships with it

2 files 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.

Changes

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.
