Excerpt

BOM Management

BOM data lives in KiCad schematic symbol properties as the single source of truth. This skill orchestrates the full lifecycle: analyze the schematic, search distributors, validate parts, write properties back, export tracking CSVs, and generate order files.

Skill	Purpose
`kicad`	Read/analyze schematics, PCB, footprints
`digikey`	Search DigiKey, download datasheets (primary prototype source)
`mouser`	Search Mouser (secondary prototype source)
`lcsc`	Search LCSC (production/JLCPCB parts)
`element14`	Search Newark/Farnell/element14 (international)
`jlcpcb`	PCB fabrication & assembly ordering
`pcbway`	Alternative PCB fab & assembly
