Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.

# KiCAD Schematic Design Workflow This skill guides Claude to design schematics using Konnect MCP tools. ALL modifications go through MCP tools — never edit .kicad_sch files directly. --- ## Toolset Loading Before any schematic work, load the required toolsets: ``` load_toolset('sch_components') # place, move, rotate, delete symbols load_toolset('sch_wiring') # wires, net labels, power symbols, connections ``` Load additional toolsets as needed: ``` load_toolset('library') # search_symbols, get_symbol_info, list_symbol_libraries load_toolset('sch_batch') # batch operations for 3+ items load_toolset('sch_analysis') # find components, get pin info, inspect nets ``` Always call `get_active_toolsets()` first to see what is already loaded. --- ## Component Placement ### Workflow 1. Search the library first: use `search_symbols` to find the correct lib_id 2. Get pin info: use `get_symbol_info` to see pin names, numbers, and positions 3. Place on the 1.27mm grid (KiCAD default schematic grid) 4. Verify placement with `list_schematic_components` ### Common Library IDs | Component | lib_id | |------------------|---------------------------------| | Resistor | `Device:R` | | Capacitor | `Devi

What does the kicad-schematic skill do?
Workflow skill for KiCAD schematic design via MCP tools. Triggers on: "design a circuit", "add a component", "wire up", "connect pins", "build schematic", "place resistor", "place cap", "place IC", "schematic", "add symbol", "net label", "power rail".
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add mixelpixx/Konnect --skill kicad-schematic --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From mixelpixx/Konnect, a repository with 191 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
