kicad-library SKILL.md skillA
kicad-library 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-library@git:20261001.ca81761Pins git:20261001.ca81761 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Library management workflow for KiCAD — creating symbols, footprints, and managing libraries via MCP tools. Triggers on: "create a symbol", "make a footprint", "custom component", "register library", "find a part", "pin numbering", "new symbol", "new footprint", "add to library", "library path", "pad layout".
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 Library Management Workflow
This skill guides Claude through creating and managing KiCAD symbols, footprints, and libraries
using Konnect MCP tools. ALL modifications go through MCP tools — never edit
.kicad_sym or .kicad_mod files directly.
---
## Toolset Loading
```
load_toolset('library') # search_symbols, search_footprints, create_symbol, create_footprint,
# edit_footprint_pad, set_footprint_graphics, set_footprint_metadata,
# set_footprint_models, get_footprint_info, register_symbol_library,
# register_footprint_library, get_symbol_info
load_toolset('pcb_components') # update_footprints_from_library for placed instances
```
Always call `get_active_toolsets()` first to see what is already loaded.
---
## Refresh Placed Footprints
Editing a `.kicad_mod` library file does not change copies already embedded on a
board. After a library edit, call `update_footprints_from_library`; it is Konnect's
MCP equivalent of KiCad **Tools → Update Footprints from Library**.
This operation is not `update_pcb_from_schematic`. Schematic sync updates

How to install
mdr add mixelpixx/konnect/kicad-library@sha256:329898ffe0ad72e5The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261001.ca81761, 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.
