bom SKILL.md skillA

bom from mattpainter701/kicad_automations is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add mattpainter701/kicad_automations/bom@git:20260710.9da1c93

Pins git:20260710.9da1c93 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Manage an electronics bill of materials across distributors and fabricators: part selection, stock, pricing, alternates, ordering, KiCad properties, and BOM/CPL export. Use for distributor-neutral sourcing, cost comparison, order preparation, or requests such as "what parts do I need" and "export for JLCPCB". Do not take over schematic analysis or a complete new-design workflow unless the requested task is specifically its sourcing/manufacturing stage.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# BOM Management

> **Disambiguation:** This skill handles BOM sourcing, pricing, and ordering. For schematic analysis use `kicad`; for a complete new design use `circuit-weaver`.

BOM data lives in **KiCad schematic symbol properties** as the single source of truth. This skill orchestrates the full lifecycle: analyze the schematic, search distributors, validate parts, write properties back, export tracking CSVs, and generate order files.

## Related Skills

| Skill | Purpose |
|-------|---------|
| `kicad` | Read/analyze schematics, PCB, footprints |
| `digikey` | Search DigiKey, download datasheets (primary prototype source) |
| `mouser` | Search Mouser (secondary prototype source) |
| `lcsc` | Search LCSC (production/JLCPCB parts) |
| `element14` | Search Newark/Farnell/element14 (international) |
| `jlcpcb` | PCB fabrication & assembly ordering |
| `pcbway` | Alternative PCB fab & assembly |

## Scripts

Use `<skill-path>` to reference the BOM skill directory.

```bash
# Analyze schematic (JSON output, recursive sub-sheets)
python <skill-path>/scripts/bom_manager.py analyze path/to/schematic.kicad_sch --json --recursive

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add mattpainter701/kicad_automations/bom@sha256:f7326adaad42a782

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260710.9da1c93, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
