skidl

name	skidl
description	Design electronic schematics and PCB netlists from Pi using SKiDL. Use for circuit creation, KiCad library parts, nets/buses, ERC, BOMs, SVG schematics, KiCad schematic export, and standalone SKiDL Python.

SKiDL Circuit Design Skill

Use the skidl_* Pi tools exposed by this package. They bridge the upstream SKiDL MCP server for programmatic electronic schematic design.

Workflow

1. Create or select a circuit with skidl_create_circuit, skidl_list_circuits, and skidl_switch_circuit.
2. Search and add parts with skidl_search_parts and skidl_add_part. Prefer explicit values, references, and footprints.
3. Create nets/buses with skidl_create_net, skidl_add_power_nets, skidl_create_bus, then wire pins with skidl_connect or skidl_connect_pins.
4. Inspect with skidl_get_circuit_info, skidl_list_parts, skidl_get_part_info, and skidl_list_nets.
5. Validate before handoff with skidl_check_connections, skidl_run_erc, and skidl_validate_footprints.
6. Generate outputs with skidl_generate_bom, skidl_generate_netlist, skidl_generate_svg, skidl_generate_kicad_schematic, or skidl_export_python.

Setup

• Python 3.10+ must be available as python or via SKIDL_PYTHON.
• KiCad should be installed for symbol libraries and footprint names.
