Excerpt

DigiKey Parts Search & Analysis

Skill	Purpose
`kicad`	Schematic analysis — extracts MPNs for datasheet sync
`bom`	BOM management — orchestrates sourcing across distributors
`spice`	Uses DigiKey parametric data for behavioral SPICE models

DigiKey is the primary source for prototype orders (Mouser is secondary). Its API returns direct PDF datasheet links, making it the preferred datasheet source. For production orders, see lcsc/jlcpcb. For BOM management and export workflows, see bom.
