Circuit Weaver main entry point. Routes to new design (wizard + research-driven IC selection + passive generation + schematic generation) or opens existing design for review/modification. Trigger on: "design a circuit", "new design", "design wizard", "circuit-weaver", or when user provides a design directory path.

Interactive circuit design wizard — a guided, step-by-step console workflow that takes users from a blank slate to a quote-ready KiCad project. Covers requirements capture, AI-driven IC selection, research-backed BOM assembly, manufacturing preferences, schematic generation, and PCB layout guidance. Trigger on phrases like "new design", "start a project", "design wizard", "circuit wizard", "help me design", "I want to build", "new board", "new circuit", or "walk me through".

BOM management, sourcing, pricing, export, and fabrication preparation. Load the canonical Circuit Weaver skill from `skills/bom/SKILL.md`.

Master entry point for Circuit Weaver workflows. Routes to new design (wizard + research-driven IC selection + passive generation + schematic generation) or opens existing design for review/modification. Load the canonical Circuit Weaver skill from `skills/circuit-weaver/SKILL.md`.

Interactive circuit design wizard — guided step-by-step workflow from requirements to quote-ready KiCad outputs. Load the canonical Circuit Weaver skill from `skills/design_wizard/SKILL.md`.

DigiKey part search, stock and pricing checks, and datasheet sync. Load the canonical Circuit Weaver skill from `skills/digikey/SKILL.md`.

General electrical engineering support for hardware design and review. Load the canonical Circuit Weaver skill from `skills/ee/SKILL.md`.

JLCPCB fabrication and assembly preparation, quoting, and constraints. Load the canonical Circuit Weaver skill from `skills/jlcpcb/SKILL.md`.

Guidance for editing Claude Code agents. Use when Claude touches agent markdown files so tool scopes, MCP wiring, memory scope, isolation, and agent hooks are configured safely.

Guidance for editing Claude Code hooks. Use when Claude touches hook scripts, hook JSON, or settings files that register hooks so matcher selection, shell choice, timeouts, and blocking behavior stay correct.

Automatic memory extraction skill — triggered by file operations to extract durable learnings from session context. Runs in the background via the memory-extractor agent.

Guidance for editing Claude Code skills. Use when Claude touches skill folders or SKILL.md files so slash-command naming, frontmatter, helper scripts, and conditional paths stay coherent.

BOM (Bill of Materials) management for electronics projects — the primary orchestrator skill that coordinates DigiKey, Mouser, LCSC, element14, JLCPCB, PCBWay, and KiCad skills into a unified workflow. Create, update, and maintain BOMs with part numbers, costs, quantities stored as KiCad symbol properties. ALWAYS trigger this skill for any task involving component sourcing, pricing, ordering, distributor searches, BOM export, or fabrication preparation — even if the user names a specific distributor or fab house (e.g. "search DigiKey for...", "generate JLCPCB BOM", "order from Mouser"). This skill decides which distributor/fab skills to invoke and in what order. Also trigger on phrases like "what parts do I need", "order components", "how much will this cost", "export for JLCPCB", "find parts for this board", "cost estimate", "compare pricing", or "check stock".

Search DigiKey for electronic components and download datasheets — primary source for prototype orders and the preferred API-based method for fetching datasheets. Find parts by keyword or part number, check pricing/stock, download datasheets directly via API, analyze specifications. Sync and maintain a local datasheets directory for a KiCad project — extract components from schematics, download all missing datasheets, keep them up to date. Use with KiCad for BOM creation and part selection. Use this skill when the user asks about electronic components, part specifications, datasheets, footprints, pricing, stock availability, or needs to download/read a datasheet — even if they don't mention "DigiKey" by name. Also use when the user says "sync datasheets", "download datasheets for my board/project", or mentions a datasheets directory. DigiKey is the default distributor for prototyping and the preferred datasheet source because its API returns direct PDF links without web scraping. For package cross-reference t

Search Newark, Farnell, and element14 for electronic components — find parts by MPN or distributor part number, check pricing/stock, download datasheets, analyze specifications. One unified API covers all three storefronts (Newark for US, Farnell for UK/EU, element14 for APAC). Free API key, simple query-parameter auth, no OAuth. Datasheets download directly from farnell.com CDN with no bot protection. Sync and maintain a local datasheets directory for a KiCad project. Use this skill when the user mentions Newark, Farnell, element14, needs parts from a non-US distributor, wants to compare pricing across regions, or needs datasheets from a source that doesn't require complex API auth. For package cross-reference tables and BOM workflow, see the `bom` skill.

JLCPCB PCB fabrication and assembly — BOM/CPL generation, basic vs extended parts, assembly constraints, design rules, ordering workflow. Use with KiCad for JLCPCB manufacturing. Use this skill when the user mentions JLCPCB, wants to order PCBs or assembled boards, needs prototype bare PCBs and stencils, wants to know JLCPCB design rules and capabilities, or is asking about PCB manufacturing costs or turnaround times. For gerber/CPL export, stencil ordering, and BOM management, see the `bom` skill.
