inquiry SKILL.md skillA

inquiry from virajrungta/pcb-claude-plugin is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add virajrungta/pcb-claude-plugin/inquiry@git:20261010.246faee

Pins git:20261010.246faee in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Answer PCB and electronics questions, or give feedback on a design the user shares (KiCad project or schematic, kipcb spec, schematic or board image/PDF, Gerber zip). Use when the user asks a question about circuit design, parts, layout, manufacturing or what the pcb plugin can do, or wants an opinion on a design without a full pre-order review.

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 inquiry

Two modes, picked from the argument and anything attached:

- **Feedback**: a path or attached file (KiCad project, `.kicad_pcb`/`.kicad_sch`,
  kipcb spec `.json`, schematic or board image, PDF, Gerber zip).
- **Question**: anything else, about circuits, parts, layout, manufacturing, or
  what this plugin can and can't do.

Both: answer first, then the reasoning. Be specific to what the user asked;
no generic checklists. Don't edit or create files unless the user asks. If a
question turns into "make me a board", offer `/pcb:design`; if the user wants
a full sign-off before ordering, offer `/pcb:review`.

`kipcb` is on PATH (fallback `${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/bin/kipcb`).

## Questions

Ground answers in the plugin's own knowledge before reaching for the web:

- `kipcb guide <topic>` prints one section of the references (circuit patterns,
  layout guidelines, manufacturing, capabilities, spec format). `kipcb guide`
  alone lists the topics.
- `kipcb ref <part>` shows how real open-source designs wire a part (pins,
  passives, values), from the knowledge base. Quote it as "common practice in
  N designs", never as a spec: the datasheet wins.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add virajrungta/pcb-claude-plugin/inquiry@sha256:c9632475aebba8a7

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261010.246faee, 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.
