Workflow skill for KiCAD PCB layout and routing via MCP tools. Triggers on: "layout the board", "route traces", "PCB", "place footprints", "copper pour", "board outline", "differential pair", "board setup", "track width", "via", "zone", "design rules", "stackup", "silkscreen".
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 PCB Layout Workflow This skill guides Claude to perform PCB layout using Konnect MCP tools. ALL modifications go through MCP tools — never edit .kicad_pcb files directly. --- ## Prerequisites Most PCB layout operations require KiCAD to be running with the board file open. The IPC connection communicates with the running KiCAD instance in real-time. Some board-construction and component tools have guarded closed-board paths. IPC-first tools fall back to the file only when the transport is unreachable and the target board has not been observed live during this server session. These paths use revision-aware atomic writes: placement preserves pads, graphics, attributes, and models; moves preserve the existing angle; rotations update the footprint and its child angles; the closed-board flip fallback mirrors supported geometry and swaps front/back layers, refusing any 3D model whose offset/rotation it cannot transform. On KiCad 10.0.6+, `flip_component` prefers KiCad's own native FlipItems IPC command instead, which handles that 3D-model transform correctly — the file fallback only applies when no live KiCad holds the board. A reachable KiCad that predates 10.0.6 returns …

How to install
mdr add mixelpixx/konnect/kicad-pcb@sha256:930b11b63a57db20The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261002.e14df97, 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.
