Imports an LCSC part into a Tiny Engineer KiCad board as library files (symbol, footprint, 3D model) using easyeda2kicad and a bundled script.

- Adding a JLCPCB or LCSC part to a KiCad board's libraries
- SKILL.md covers Inputs, Run, Layout and Example
- Runs Python scripts from its folder; calls python3
What it does
Given an LCSC part number (the C-prefixed ID, not a manufacturer number) and a board folder under hardware/boards, the agent runs scripts/import_lcsc.py instead of redoing the download, move and library-table steps by hand. The script fails if the board folder has no .kicad_pro file, installs easyeda2kicad if needed, and runs it from the board directory with the full, project-relative and overwrite options.
It then moves the footprint and 3D folders into libraries/footprints and libraries/3d, rewrites 3D model paths to use the KiCad project-relative variable, and adds or updates the easyeda library nickname in the symbol and footprint library tables. Only library files are produced: the symbol is not placed on the schematic and nothing is merged into TinyEngineerModules.
When your agent uses it
- Adding a JLCPCB or LCSC part to a KiCad board's libraries
- Filling a board's libraries folder with EasyEDA symbols, footprints and 3D models
- Importing a part by its LCSC ID such as C2040
Example prompts
- “Import LCSC part C2040 into the main-control-board KiCad project.”
- “Pull the symbol, footprint and 3D model for C2040 into the libraries of main-control-board.”
Requirements
- Python 3
- easyeda2kicad, which the script installs if missing
- A KiCad board folder containing a .kicad_pro file
Workflow steps
3 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Resolves the board from the repo root; creates libraries/{symbols,footprints,3d}.
- Installs easyeda2kicad if missing.
- Runs from the board directory (required for --project-relative)
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit c718397. 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
Ships 1 file in scripts/ (Python), which the agent can run.
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
python3
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
EasyEDA to KiCad Importer loads about 569 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 58 tokens; SKILL.md has 156 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.
SKILL.md
Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 156 words (~569 tokens).
“Import an LCSC part into hardware/boards//. Library files only — do not place the symbol on the schematic. Do not merge into TinyEngineerModules.”
