fab SKILL.md skillA

fab 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/fab@git:20261001.0be0409

Pins git:20261001.0be0409 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Export manufacturing files (Gerbers, drill, BOM, pick-and-place) from a KiCad project and walk through ordering boards from JLCPCB or another fab. Use when the user wants to order, manufacture, fabricate or get assembly files for a PCB, or asks for Gerbers, a BOM or a CPL/pick-and-place file.

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

# Fabrication outputs and ordering

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

1. Locate the project (the argument, or the single `.kicad_pro` nearby).
2. Run `kipcb drc <project>`. If there are errors or unconnected items, stop
   and explain them. Offer to fix them (via `/pcb:design` for kipcb specs, or
   directly in KiCad). `kipcb fab --force` exists, but only use it if the user
   explicitly accepts the risk.
3. Run `kipcb fab <project>`. The output format follows the user's manufacturer
   setting (see `kipcb settings`); pass `--fab jlcpcb` or `--fab generic` to override.
4. Read `fab/<name>-bom.csv`. Flag parts without an LCSC number when the user
   wants JLCPCB assembly, and never make one up: find candidates with
   `kipcb lcsc -s "<part> <package>"` (live stock, basic parts first) and let the
   user confirm, or suggest JLCPCB's BOM tool, hand-soldering or DNP. `kipcb fab`
   also warns about BOM parts that are out of stock at JLCPCB; relay those.
5. Show `previews/review.png` (render it with `kipcb render <project> --what review`
   if it's missing) so the user sees what they're ordering. `kipcb report <project>`

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add virajrungta/pcb-claude-plugin/fab@sha256:e725566907c5842a

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261001.0be0409, 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.
