kicad-pcb-place SKILL.md skillA
kicad-pcb-place from mattpainter701/kicad_automations is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.
mdr add mattpainter701/kicad_automations/kicad-pcb-place@git:20260710.9da1c93Pins git:20260710.9da1c93 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Review Circuit Weaver's exhaustive placement proposal and apply approved SVG coordinates to a real electrically annotated KiCad PCB. Use after schematic generation for placement optimization, official-reference review, interactive SVG editing, strict reference reconciliation, and PCB placement handoff. Do not treat review artifacts as fabrication data.
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 Placement
Separate the heuristic review proposal from the electrical PCB. Circuit Weaver
does not generate a routable board during `generate`.
## 1. Generate and inspect the review bundle
```bash
circuit-weaver generate "${SPEC_PATH}" --output "${OUTPUT_DIR}"
```
Read these together:
- `assembly_manifest.json`: exhaustive physical-part inventory, including
generated support passives;
- `placement_result.json`: proposed coordinates, exact reference
reconciliation, quality findings, and `fabrication_ready: false`;
- `placement_review_context.json`: board constraints, placement rules, review
blockers, targeted research prompts, and official/reference-layout links;
- `placement.svg`: editable vector proposal; and
- `placement_editor.html`: interactive drag/review tool that can export SVG.
Stop when `placement_result.json` is `blocked`, inventories do not match, or
the review gate reports unresolved overlaps, out-of-board parts, constraint
violations, missing support parents, missing footprint geometry/dimensions, or
unresolved sourcing. Never hide a blocker because the visual layout looks

How to install
mdr add mattpainter701/kicad_automations/kicad-pcb-place@sha256:1ec106ff075e0fbfThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260710.9da1c93, 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.
