datasheet-reader
Datasheet Reader
Use this skill when a task depends on a datasheet or technical PDF.
- Input: local
.pdfpath orhttp(s)URL - Command:
pcb scan <input> - Output: stdout is the resolved markdown path
- Next step: read the markdown file, not the raw PDF
- Images are linked from the markdown
Workflow
- Run
pcb scan /path/to/file.pdforpcb scan https://.... - Capture the printed markdown path.
- Read the markdown file and work from that artifact.
- Follow image links only if the task depends on figures, diagrams, or tables.

zener-language
Canonical Zener HDL guidance. Use for any non-trivial `.zen` work or whenever syntax, `Module()`, `io()`, `config()`, imports, `pcb.toml`, stdlib APIs, package APIs, source lookup, generics, DNP patterns, or validation are uncertain.
838reference-design
Grow a component package into a high-quality, sourceable reusable design in Zener. Use when translating a datasheet, application note, or eval design into circuitry that should live with the component package itself — including checking for existing reusable packages first, extracting evidence, choosing sourceable passives, documenting the design in the `.zen` docstring, and validating with `pcb build`.
799component-search
Search for and add electronic components and reusable subcircuits to a Zener PCB project. Use when designing a board, module, or subsystem and you need a part package, a reusable module, or a component package that may already include application circuitry. Covers `pcb search` (registry:modules, registry:components, web:components) and `pcb new component` for importing web components into a workspace.
787idiomatic-zener
Style rules and idioms for writing high-quality Zener HDL code. Use when writing, reviewing, or refactoring `.zen` files — modules, reference designs, or board files. Covers DNP patterns, typed configs, voltage checks, component naming, computation style, and common gotchas.
724spice-sim
Adds an ngspice-backed simulation testbench to a Zener `.zen` design. Use when the user asks to simulate a circuit, validate behavior in SPICE, or wire a `spice_model=SpiceModel(...)` into a leaf component. Covers `pcb sim`, `Simulation` property, and ngspice `.control` blocks with `tran`/`PULSE`/`PWL` sources and SVG `hardcopy` output.
351git-hunk
Non-interactive hunk and line-range staging with the `git-hunk` CLI. Use when a user wants atomic commits, selective staging, partial hunk staging, or an agent-safe replacement for `git add -p` or `git commit -p`, especially when `git-hunk` is available in the current repo or on `PATH`.
