What it contains
Skills (11)
bom— BOM (Bill of Materials) management for electronics projects — the workflow skill that coordinates DigiKey, Mouser, LCSC, element14, JLCPCB, PCBWay, and KiCad skills around a unified BOM lifecycle. Create, update, and maintain BOMs with partdatasheets— Extract structured specifications from electronic component datasheet PDFs — pinouts, electrical characteristics, peripherals, topology, and features. Cache extractions per project for consumption by schematic and PCB analyzers. Primary condigikey— Search DigiKey for electronic components and download datasheets — primary source for prototype orders and the preferred API method for fetching datasheets. Find parts by keyword or MPN, check pricing/stock, download datasheets via API, anaelement14— 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, Femc— EMC pre-compliance risk analysis for KiCad PCB designs — 18 check categories, 44 rule IDs covering ground planes, decoupling, I/O filtering, switching harmonics, clock routing, differential pair skew, board edge radiation, PDN impedance, rejlcpcb— 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 orderkicad— Analyze KiCad projects and PDF schematics: schematics, PCB layouts, Gerbers, footprints, symbols, netlists, and design rules. Reviews designs for bugs, traces nets, cross-references schematic to PCB, extracts BOM data, checks DRC/ERC, DFM,lcsc— Search LCSC Electronics for electronic components — find parts by LCSC number (Cxxxxx) or MPN, check stock/pricing, download datasheets, analyze specifications. Sister company to JLCPCB, same parts library. Sync and maintain a local datashemouser— Search Mouser Electronics for electronic components — secondary source for prototype orders. Find parts, check pricing/stock, download datasheets, analyze specifications. Use with KiCad for BOM creation and part selection. Also supports batpcbway— PCBWay PCB fabrication and assembly — turnkey/consigned assembly, design rules, ordering workflow. Alternative to JLCPCB for manufacturing. Use with KiCad. Use this skill when the user mentions PCBWay, needs turnkey assembly (PCBWay sourcesspice— Run automatic SPICE simulations on subcircuits detected from KiCad schematic analysis — validates filter frequencies, divider ratios, opamp gains, LC resonance, and crystal load capacitance.
