What it does

Schematic Review is an agent skill from oaslananka/kicad-mcp-pro. KiCad MCP schematic inspection and review workflow using ERC, connectivity, symbol, net, power, readability, and quality-gate tools.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.1k 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 Testing & QA, covering Quality gates, Plain language and style rules and 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.

Workflow steps

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

Confirm active project and schematic state with kicad_get_project_info.
Retrieve design intent with project_get_design_intent; if absent and the user supplied requirements, store them with…
Inspect symbols, nets, labels, wires, and connectivity graph.
Run ERC with run_erc.
Run schematic_quality_gate, schematic_connectivity_gate, and schematic_design_rule_check.
Check power-rail intent using sch_check_power_flags and net tracing for critical rails/interfaces.
Check component metadata and footprint bindings with library tools when part correctness is in scope.
For readability review, use sch_visual_qa and optionally sch_render_png.
If edits are requested, prefer plan/preview/apply/verify/rollback tools over direct mutation when possible.
Re-run ERC and schematic quality gates after any schematic-changing operation.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit bfbed31. 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

Schematic Review loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 37 tokens; SKILL.md has 436 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~37
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~1.1k

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.

Schematic Review Skill

Use this skill when an AI agent is asked to inspect, review, or safely improve a KiCad schematic 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:

Pre-layout schematic review
ERC review
Net connectivity review
Power flag and no-connect review
Symbol, footprint, and component-property inspection
Readability and visual QA
Conservative schematic edits when explicitly requested

Do not use this skill to claim electrical correctness without ERC, design-rule review, datasheet review, and human engineering approval.

Required context

Collect:

Active project path and schematic file
Design intent and functional requirements
Expected power rails, interfaces, and critical nets
Component sourcing assumptions
Whether the task is read-only review or allowed to modify the schematic

Primary MCP tools

Project and intent

Workflow

Confirm active project and schematic state with kicad_get_project_info.
Retrieve design intent with project_get_design_intent; if absent and the user supplied requirements, store them with project_set_design_intent only when appropriate.
Inspect symbols, nets, labels, wires, and connectivity graph.
Run ERC with run_erc.
Run schematic_quality_gate, schematic_connectivity_gate, and schematic_design_rule_check.
Check power-rail intent using sch_check_power_flags and net tracing for critical rails/interfaces.
Check component metadata and footprint bindings with library tools when part correctness is in scope.

Quality checks

A schematic review response must include:

Project and schematic context
ERC summary
Connectivity findings
Power-flag/no-connect findings
Symbol/footprint/property findings
Readability findings
Required fixes and open questions
Human-review notes

Failure modes

Stop and report clearly when:

No KiCad project is active
Schematic files are missing or unsupported
ERC cannot run
The design intent is too ambiguous to judge correctness
Component datasheets or footprint requirements are unavailable
The user requests edits without permission to modify files

Output format

Return:

Schematic context
Tools used
Findings by severity
ERC and quality-gate status
Proposed or applied fixes
Remaining assumptions
Next validation steps

Safety rule

A clean ERC result is necessary but not sufficient for design approval. Always report datasheet, footprint, power-budget, signal-integrity, and human-review gaps separately.
