datasheet-interpreter

datasheet-interpreter is a skill for Claude Code from wedsamuel1230/arduino-skills. It costs 67 tokens per session (3,092 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

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.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it with a datasheet URL or local PDF when building maker projects, checking wiring, or looking up chip specifications.
Why use it?
It avoids searching through long PDF documents for the few details needed to connect or program a part.

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

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 12d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 452 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

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"

Files

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.

datasheet-interpreter is a skill published in the GitHub repository wedsamuel1230/arduino-skills (21 stars, last pushed 22d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 67 tokens to every session and 3,092 once invoked, about $0.0003 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 2026-08-30.
