datasheet-reader

Original：🇺🇸 English

Translated

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.

Datasheet Reader

Use this skill when a task depends on a datasheet or technical PDF.

Input: local
```
.pdf
```
path or
```
http(s)
```
URL
Command:
```
pcb scan <input>
```
Output: stdout is the resolved markdown path
Next step: read the markdown file, not the raw PDF
Images are linked from the markdown

Workflow

Run

pcb scan /path/to/file.pdf

pcb scan https://...

Capture the printed markdown path.
Read the markdown file and work from that artifact.
Follow image links only if the task depends on figures, diagrams, or tables.

Examples

bash

pcb scan ./TPS54331.pdf
pcb scan https://www.ti.com/lit/gpn/tca9554

Notes

Prefer the minimal invocation above. Do not depend on optional flags unless a task explicitly requires them.
If
```
pcb scan
```
fails, report the failure briefly and then choose the best fallback.
