What it does

Ad Schematic Reader is an agent skill from Chsier/ADReader. Read verified Altium schematic connectivity from .PrjPcb projects or .SchDoc sheets through the bundled script-only Windows JSON runtime. Use when Codex needs to find sheets, components, pins, nets, or prove whether specified pins are connected. Do not use it for GUI automation, Altium Designer control, or circuit-function inference.

Its SKILL.md is about 960 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 19 other files, including reference files (for example `agents/openai.yaml`, `references/cli-api.md` and `references/data-contract.md`).

It sits in Productivity & Automation, covering Desktop control.

When your agent uses it

  • Codex needs to find sheets
  • Prove whether specified pins are connected
  • Altium Designer control
  • Circuit-function inference

Example prompts

  • “/ad-schematic-reader”

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Run inspect and stop if its status is not pass.
  2. Run snapshot --out outside the source project directory.
  3. Run verify before answering after any possible source-file change.
  4. Run summary, then a narrow component, net, or connection query.
  5. Answer only from the returned structured evidence.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit fd219ac. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are powershell).

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Ad Schematic Reader loads about 958 tokens when it runs, and up to ~7.3k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 89 tokens; SKILL.md has 374 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~89
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~958
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~7.3k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 374 words (~958 tokens).

“Use the runtime as the only source for connectivity claims. It uses the fixed altium-monkey backend and does not require Altium Designer or a GUI.”
