kicad-review SKILL.md skillA
kicad-review from mixelpixx/konnect is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.
mdr add mixelpixx/konnect/kicad-review@git:20260918.cb74c04Pins git:20260918.cb74c04 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Design review and validation workflow for KiCAD projects via MCP tools. Triggers on: "review my design", "check for errors", "audit", "DRC", "ERC", "find problems", "design review", "is this ready", "validate", "check my schematic", "check my PCB", "what's wrong", "run checks", "pre-fab 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
# KiCAD Design Review & Validation Workflow
This skill guides Claude through systematic design review of a KiCAD project using MCP tools.
ALL checks are performed through MCP tools — never parse .kicad_sch or .kicad_pcb files directly.
---
## Toolset Loading
Load the required toolsets for design review:
```
load_toolset('sch_analysis') # find_orphan_items, find_shorted_nets, find_single_pin_nets
load_toolset('verification') # run_drc; check_clearance anchor/courtyard spacing; rules
load_toolset('sch_export') # run_erc
load_toolset('pcb_export') # get_drc_violations
load_toolset('manufacturing') # validate_for_manufacturing
load_toolset('design_review') # audit_decoupling, audit_connections, audit_power_rails, etc.
```
Optional (for deeper analysis):
```
load_toolset('sch_analysis') # get net info, trace connections, inspect components
load_toolset('pcb_routing') # query_traces, get_nets_list
```
Always call `get_active_toolsets()` first to see what is already loaded.
## Evidence hierarchy
Judge findings in this order:
1. Exact design requirements and manufacturer datasheets.
2. Direct KiCad ERC/DRC and saved or exported connectivity.

How to install
mdr add mixelpixx/konnect/kicad-review@sha256:f9f4e8e527b1aab5The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260918.cb74c04, 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.
