kicad-component SKILL.md skillA
kicad-component from avatarsd/kiskill is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.
mdr add avatarsd/kiskill/kicad-component@git:20261018.c096cafPins git:20261018.c096caf in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Find, fetch, and register KiCad components: search local/official symbol and footprint libraries, download missing parts from the internet (easyeda2kicad by LCSC id, SnapEDA/UltraLibrarian zips), and register them in project lib tables. Use when a schematic needs a part that is not already in the project.
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
# Component sourcing & indexing
## Local search order
1. Project libs (sym-lib-table next to .kicad_pro, `${KIPRJMOD}` URIs).
2. Official flatpak libs:
`~/.local/share/flatpak/runtime/org.kicad.KiCad.Library.Symbols/x86_64/stable/active/files/symbols/*.kicad_sym`
(footprints idem, `.../Library.Footprints/.../footprints/*.pretty`).
Grep symbol names: `grep -l '(symbol "NAME' *.kicad_sym` then extract
the balanced block with `kicad_lib.sexp`.
3. **Index (implemented):** `kx find dual comparator` → ranked lib_id hits
with description/keywords/pins. First run `kx index [PROJECT_LIB_DIR]`
(22k official symbols ≈ 20 s once; mtime-incremental ≈ 0.1 s after).
DB: ~/.cache/kx_scratch/symbols.sqlite; `extends` children inherit
base description/keywords so families are searchable.
## Internet fetch
- **LCSC/JLC part known** (implemented, preferred):
`kx fetch C25804 /path/to/project` → symbol +
footprint + 3D (wrl+step) in PROJECT/libs/ AND both lib tables
registered (${KIPRJMOD} URIs), idempotent. Binary lives in the repo
.venv (PEP 668 box); fetch needs real network (sandbox blocks DNS —

How to install
mdr add avatarsd/kiskill/kicad-component@sha256:0c150442d1ef65dcThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261018.c096caf, 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.
