wired-subcircuit-design SKILL.md skillA

This file is byte-identical to the first copy the registry indexed, one of 4 indexed copies. Same content hash, so the same checks give both the same grade.

wired-subcircuit-design from oaslananka/kicad-mcp-pro is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned

mdr add oaslananka/kicad-mcp-pro/wired-subcircuit-design@git:20261015.e530e28

Pins git:20261015.e530e28 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Build a genuinely wired, showcase-grade KiCad schematic with KiCad MCP Pro — wired sub-circuit islands plus a tidy label bus — instead of the correct-but-plain by-name-label output of auto layout.

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

# Wired Sub-circuit Design Skill

Use this skill when an agent must produce a schematic that *looks* like a person
drew it — wired functional blocks, conventional power, a clean breakout bus — not
just an electrically valid netlist. It is the deliberate, higher-effort path that
`sch_build_circuit(auto_layout=True, nets=...)` cannot reach.

Specific to `oaslananka/kicad-mcp-pro`. Keep in sync with
`docs/tools-reference.generated.md`. Worked reference:
[`examples/gallery/esp32-c3-wroom-02-breakout`](https://github.com/oaslananka/kicad-mcp-pro/blob/main/examples/gallery/esp32-c3-wroom-02-breakout/README.md).

## Why auto layout is not enough

`sch_build_circuit` with `nets` uses a **collision-safe terminal** strategy: every
pin endpoint gets a stub plus a same-named global label / power symbol, so nets
connect *by name* and can never short by crossing geometry. That is correct and
ERC-clean, but it reads as a machine netlist: every decoupling cap floats between
its own `+3V3` and `GND` labels instead of being wired. Showcase quality needs
explicit placement and wires. The cosmetic score never measures this — **judge the
render, not the number.**

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint

mdr add oaslananka/kicad-mcp-pro/wired-subcircuit-design@sha256:ff8706b64e698897

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261015.e530e28, 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.
