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.

SkillSpector: 2 findings, 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 →

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 | $0.00046 | $0.02580 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00023 | $0.01290 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00009 | $0.00516 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00005 | $0.00258 |
Grade B, and why
kicad scanned grade B with 1 finding 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 yesterday.
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.
Asks for rootmediumPrivilege escalation
A mod that escalates privileges can change anything on the machine, not only the project.

安装
# Linux
sudo add-apt-repository --yes ppa:kicad/kicad-10.0-releases
sudo apt install kicad
# macOS
brew install --cask kicad
# Windows: 安装包
库（Symbols/Footprints/3D Models）随主程序安装；亦可单独 kicad-symbols / kicad-footprints / kicad-packages3D 仓库 git 跟踪。
原理图（Eeschema）要点
- 元件：
A添加；R/L/C等快捷键 - 连线：
WWire、BBus - 注释：Tools → Annotate Schematic
- 电气规则：
ERC（菜单 Inspect → ERC） - 分页：File → Schematic Setup → Page Settings；分页通过 Hierarchical Sheet
- 总线展开：
{NET[0..7]}
PCB（Pcbnew）要点
- 板框：Edge.Cuts 层用
Polygon或Line画 - 摆件：拖动 / 旋转 / 翻面 (
F) - 走线：
X起线、V通孔 / 切层 - 网络规则：
File → Board Setup → Net Classes - 覆铜：
Add Filled Zone，绑定 GND/PWR - DRC：
Inspect → Design Rules Checker - 推走线：菜单 Route → Interactive Router
- 长度调谐：Route → Tune Length
库管理
- 全局库：
Preferences → Manage Symbol/Footprint Libraries（按用户/项目级别） - 推荐项目级库：在项目目录新建
lib/放.kicad_sym/.pretty/ - KiCad 5.x 旧 .lib / .mod 可通过
Symbol Library Editor导入
制造输出（Gerber + Drill）
File → Plot
Layers: F.Cu, B.Cu, F.Mask, B.Mask, F.Silkscreen, B.Silkscreen, Edge.Cuts (+ inner)

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.

kicad is a skill published in the GitHub repository znlgis/opengis-skills (60 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 46 tokens to every session and 2,580 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it B with 1 finding (asks for root). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
