kicad-jlcpcb-workflow SKILL.md skillA

kicad-jlcpcb-workflow from beckhamlabsllc/kicad-jlcpcb is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add beckhamlabsllc/kicad-jlcpcb/kicad-jlcpcb-workflow@git:20260920.83b2dae

Pins git:20260920.83b2dae in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Use this skill when the user asks to "design a PCB", "make a board", "build a PCB project", "order from JLCPCB", "create a schematic", "source LCSC parts", "wire up a board", "generate a PCB from a BOM", or any KiCad + JLCPCB workflow. Also use when working with `.kicad_pro` or `.kicad_pcb` files. Handles project setup, LCSC part sourcing, EasyEDA pin-map fetching, fully-wired `.kicad_pcb` generation via pcbnew, and hand-off to EasyEDA for routing + JLCPCB ordering.

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

# KiCad → EasyEDA → JLCPCB Workflow

Help the user take a PCB project from "I want a board that does X" to "I clicked Order in EasyEDA and it's on its way from JLCPCB." The plugin automates parts sourcing, pin-map lookup, footprint placement, and net wiring — which was the slow tedious part. Routing and ordering happen in EasyEDA's web app because its cloud auto-router handles real boards (including RF) far more reliably than anything shippable headlessly.

## The seven stages

1. **Project setup** — `detect_kicad`, `create_project` (or `load_project`)
2. **Component sourcing** — `lcsc_search`, `lcsc_resolve_bom`
3. **Pin maps** — `part_pin_map` (auto-called by `pcb_generate`, but you can inspect individual parts)
4. **PCB generation** — `pcb_generate` produces the wired `.kicad_pcb`
5. **EasyEDA handoff** — `easyeda_handoff` gives the user the import instructions
6. **Routing** — *user, in EasyEDA web app* (Auto Route button)
7. **Ordering** — *user, in EasyEDA* (PCB Order via JLCPCB button)

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add beckhamlabsllc/kicad-jlcpcb/kicad-jlcpcb-workflow@sha256:64bb7720b8ad62fc

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260920.83b2dae, 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.
