What it does

Fabrication Output is an agent skill from oaslananka/kicad-mcp-pro. KiCad MCP manufacturing release workflow for Gerbers, drill files, BOM, pick-and-place, DFM, release evidence, and final human review.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.2k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Agent Workflows, covering MCP servers. It works with Model Context Protocol. The repository describes itself as: MCP server for KiCad, connecting AI agents to schematic and PCB workflows, ERC/DRC validation, DFM checks, BOM analysis, and manufacturing preparation—with controlled edits and… The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

Tasks that involve MCP servers

Example prompts

“/fabrication-output”

Workflow steps

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

Confirm active project with kicad_get_project_info.
Run or retrieve project validation state using project_quality_gate or project_quality_gate_report.
Run run_erc and run_drc unless the user provides recent validated evidence.
Run DFM/manufacturing checks using check_design_for_manufacture and manufacturing_quality_gate.
If a manufacturer is specified, load and run the relevant DFM profile with dfm_load_manufacturer_profile and dfm_run_manufacturer_check.
Block release if there are unresolved critical ERC, DRC, DFM, stackup, or manufacturing-gate failures.
Export required artifacts with the smallest complete export set for the user's target.
Prefer export_manufacturing_package when a gated package is requested and supported.
Generate evidence and manifests with mfg_create_release_evidence and mfg_generate_release_manifest when available.
Report exact artifact types, output paths, gate results, known waivers, and human-review requirements.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit e2609ec. 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.
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

Fabrication Output loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 38 tokens; SKILL.md has 475 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~38
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~1.2k

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.

Fabrication Output Skill

Use this skill when an AI agent is asked to prepare, validate, or package KiCad manufacturing outputs through KiCad MCP Pro.

This skill is specific to oaslananka/kicad-mcp-pro and should be kept synchronized with docs/tools-reference.generated.md.

When to use

Use this skill for:

Gerber and drill export
BOM and pick-and-place export
STEP/3D/PDF fabrication documentation
DFM review
Manufacturing quality gate review
Release evidence and manifest generation
Final manufacturing handoff preparation

Do not use this skill before ERC/DRC/DFM status is known.

Required context

Collect:

Active KiCad project path
Target manufacturer or generic fabrication constraints
Board stackup and layer count
Assembly requirement: PCB only, SMT assembly, through-hole, mixed assembly, or prototype
Required output directory
Whether variants/DNP/population options apply
Human approval status for unresolved violations and waivers

Minimum artifact set

For a typical PCB fabrication handoff:

Gerber files from export_gerber
Drill files from export_drill
Board PDF or fabrication drawing from export_pcb_pdf
Schematic PDF from export_sch_pdf
BOM from export_bom
Pick-and-place file from export_pick_and_place when assembly is required
STEP model from export_step when mechanical review is required
Release evidence/manifest when a formal release package is requested

Quality checks

A manufacturing package response must include:

ERC status
DRC status
DFM/manufacturing gate status
Exported artifact list
Output location
Missing artifacts, if any
Waivers and exclusions
Human-review checklist

Failure modes

Stop and report clearly when:

ERC/DRC has unresolved critical failures
DFM constraints are missing for a manufacturer-specific release
Export tools fail or output paths are not writable
BOM or pick-and-place data is incomplete
Variants/DNP requirements are ambiguous
The user asks to fabricate without validation evidence

Output format

Return:

Release target
Gate status
Artifact inventory
Waivers/exclusions
Blockers
Human-review checklist
Final verdict: blocked, draft package, or candidate package after human review

Safety rule

Never represent generated fabrication files as production-approved. Use candidate package after human review unless a qualified human explicitly approves the release outside the agent workflow.
