schematic-planlisted

Use after circuit-design produces a validated BOM (specs/bom.md) to plan exact component placement coordinates and wiring before schematic capture begins. Pure planning — no file modifications.

<CRITICAL-RULE> NEVER use the Read, Write, or Edit tools on KiCad files (.kicad_sch, .kicad_pcb, .kicad_sym, .kicad_mod, .kicad_pro, .kicad_prl). ALL KiCad file manipulation MUST go through the kicad MCP tools. NEVER run kicad-cli commands via Bash. If an MCP tool returns an error, try different parameters — do NOT fall back to manual file editing. EVERY KiCad operation has a corresponding MCP tool. Do NOT claim a tool does not exist without first listing all available tools. Key tools that MUST be used instead of file writes: - `add_symbol` — create custom symbol definitions in .kicad_sym files - `create_symbol_library` — create new .kicad_sym library files - `create_schematic` — create new .kicad_sch files - `create_project` — create new .kicad_pro project files If you find yourself thinking "there's no MCP tool for this," you are wrong. Check the tool list again. </CRITICAL-RULE> # Schematic Plan Pure planning phase — no file modifications. Only inspection MCP tools (`list_lib_symbols`, `get_symbol_info`). Note: `get_symbol_pins` requires a schematic with placed symbols and cannot be used during planning. Use `get_symbol_info` instead — it reads pin definitions directly from library files. **Inputs:** `specs/bom.md` (validated BOM from circuit-design) **Outputs:** `specs/schematic-plan.md` (placement and wiring plan) ## Response Format When this skill activates, print exactly: > Using schematic-plan to plan placement and wiring from the > validated BOM.
