pcb-design SKILL.md skillA
pcb-design from oaslananka/kicad-mcp-pro is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.
mdr add oaslananka/kicad-mcp-pro/pcb-design@git:20260807.26681edPins git:20260807.26681ed in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Safe KiCad PCB design assistance workflow using KiCad MCP board inspection, placement, routing, stackup, and quality-gate tools.
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
# PCB Design Skill Use this skill when an AI agent is asked to inspect, plan, improve, or safely assist with a KiCad PCB layout through KiCad MCP Pro. This skill is specific to `oaslananka/kicad-mcp-pro` and should be kept synchronized with `docs/tools-reference.generated.md`. ## When to use Use this skill for: - PCB layout review - Board outline, stackup, and design-rule planning - Component placement assistance - Routing-quality review - Schematic-to-PCB synchronization review - First-pass power, signal, EMC, and manufacturability sanity checks Do not use this skill to claim that a board is production-ready. Production readiness requires ERC, DRC, DFM, release package review, and human engineering approval. ## Required context Collect or establish: - Active project path with `kicad_set_project` or current state from `kicad_get_project_info` - Board file and schematic file presence - Design intent from `project_get_design_intent` or `project_set_design_intent` - Board constraints: layer count, stackup, clearances, current, voltage, impedance, and manufacturer limits - User permission before any write/destructive board operation ## Primary MCP tools …

How to install
mdr add oaslananka/kicad-mcp-pro/pcb-design@sha256:3774ab869f51d0f2The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260807.26681ed, 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.
