kicad
kicad is an Embedded, IoT & robotics skill for AI agents, published by aklofas in the kicad-happy repository on GitHub. Skillspace rates kicad F (45/100) and the safety scan rated it risky; the rating is based on static analysis only.
Risky. This skill has patterns associated with unsafe behaviour. Read the source carefully before running it.
Analyze KiCad projects and PDF schematics: schematics, PCB layouts, Gerbers, footprints, symbols, netlists, and design rules. Reviews designs for bugs, traces nets, cross-references schematic to PCB, extracts BOM data, checks DRC/ERC, DFM, power trees, and regulator circuits. Every finding carries a confidence label and evidence source with trust_summary rollup. Analyzes PDF schematics from dev boards, reference designs, eval kits, and datasheets. Supports KiCad 5–10. Use whenever the user mentions .kicad_sch, .kicad_pcb, .kicad_pro, PCB design review, schematic analysis, PDF schematics, reference designs, Gerber files, DRC/ERC, netlist issues, BOM extraction, signal tracing, power budget, DFM, or wants to understand, debug, compare, or review any hardware design. Also for "check my board", "review before fab", "what's wrong with my schematic", "is this ready to order", "check my power supply", "verify this circuit", or any electronics/PCB design question.

What the scanner flagged
- dynamic code execution (eval/exec)
Not checked yet
- Not judged on the rubric yet (not a contender in its category)
- No blind task eval yet
- Scope (portable / vendor / repo-internal) not assessed; only the top of each category is read for scope
- Sibling files (scripts, references) not fetched; security scan covers SKILL.md only
