What SPICE Simulation does

SPICE Simulation generates and runs SPICE testbenches for KiCad subcircuits detected by schematic analysis. Use it to verify filter cutoffs, divider ratios, op-amp gain, LC resonance, and similar analog behavior.

SPICE Simulation is cataloged under Quality on DirSkills. SPICE Simulation comes from a repository tagged ai-skills, bom-management, claude-code, codex and design-review.

Excerpt

SPICE Simulation Skill

Automatically generates and runs SPICE testbenches for circuit subcircuits detected by the kicad skill's schematic analyzer. Supports ngspice, LTspice, and Xyce (auto-detected). Validates calculated values (filter frequencies, divider ratios, opamp gains) against actual simulation results and produces a structured report.

This skill inverts the typical simulation workflow: instead of requiring users to create simulation sources and configure analysis (which ~2.5% of KiCad users do), it generates targeted testbenches automatically from the analyzer's subcircuit detections.

This is the opening of the README. Read the full README on GitHub.

Frequently asked about SPICE Simulation

What else does aklofas publish alongside SPICE Simulation?
SPICE Simulation is one of 11 skills that DirSkills catalogs from aklofas/kicad-happy, the repository it ships in. Its siblings there include BOM Management, Datasheets and DigiKey Parts Search. Each one is a separate skill with its own page in this directory, installs the same way SPICE Simulation does, and is maintained by aklofas in that same repository. The rest of the collection is listed on the aklofas/kicad-happy page.
How does SPICE Simulation compare to other Quality skills?
SPICE Simulation ranks #847 by stars among the 1354 Quality skills in this catalog. The most-starred ones next to it are Benchmark, Benchmark Optimization Loop and API Design Patterns. DirSkills ranks by the star count of the repository each skill ships in, so that order reflects how popular those repositories are rather than any review of SPICE Simulation against them. Open each page to compare what they document and how they install.
