Read datasheets and technical PDF documents with `pcb scan`. Use when the user gives a local PDF path or an `http(s)` datasheet/document URL, when a task requires reading, summarizing, extracting information from, or answering questions about a datasheet or technical PDF, or when a KiCad symbol / `.kicad_sym` provides a `Datasheet` property to resolve. Run `pcb scan <input>` in bash, treat stdout as the generated `.md` path, then read that markdown file.
Work with PCB designs in the Zener hardware description language. Use when writing or editing `.zen` files, building schematics, searching for components or Zener packages, reading datasheets with `pcb scan`, or reading/updating KiCad `.kicad_sym` symbol metadata.
JLCPCB PCB fabrication and assembly — BOM/CPL generation, basic vs extended parts, assembly constraints, design rules, ordering workflow. Use with KiCad for JLCPCB manufacturing. Use this skill when the user mentions JLCPCB, wants to order PCBs or assembled boards, needs prototype bare PCBs and stencils, wants to know JLCPCB design rules and capabilities, or is asking about PCB manufacturing costs or turnaround times. For gerber/CPL export, stencil ordering, and BOM management, see the `bom` skill.
Search Newark, Farnell, and element14 for electronic components — find parts by MPN or distributor part number, check pricing/stock, download datasheets, analyze specifications. One unified API covers all three storefronts (Newark for US, Farnell for UK/EU, element14 for APAC). Free API key, simple query-parameter auth, no OAuth. Datasheets download directly from farnell.com CDN with no bot protection. Sync and maintain a local datasheets directory for a KiCad project, or use batch MPN-list seeding (`--mpn-list`) for bulk workflows without a project. Use this skill when the user mentions Newark, Farnell, element14, needs parts from a non-US distributor, wants to compare pricing across regions, or needs datasheets from a source that doesn't require complex API auth. For package cross-reference tables and BOM workflow, see the `bom` skill.
