This skill automates the extraction of pinouts, electrical characteristics, and peripheral features from component datasheets. It converts unstructured PDF data into a cached format that schematic and PCB analyzers can use to verify IC knowledge, such as enable pin thresholds or USB peripheral speeds.
Follow the documented setup, then try a first task.

Uses bom
Use the `bom` skill to analyze the KiCad schematic at `<path/to/design.kicad_sch>` recursively. Give me a concise summary of missing manufacturer part numbers, sourcing gaps, and the next distributor skill appropriate for each gap. Do not edit the schematic or create order files.
Uses datasheets
Use the `datasheets` skill to inspect the PDF at `<project>/datasheets/<MPN>.pdf`. Extract a small structured summary of its pinout, key electrical characteristics, topology or peripherals, and notable features. Identify the MPN and flag any fields that cannot be verified from the supplied PDF. Do not download another document.
Uses emc
Use the `emc` skill to review `<schematic-analysis.json>` and `<pcb-analysis.json>`. Return the five highest-priority EMC risks with their severity, supporting design evidence, and one practical mitigation each, followed by a short pre-compliance test checklist. Treat this as risk analysis, not a guarantee of regulatory compliance.
