Produces accurate answers—query what's needed for reliable conclusions, never dumps raw files, never guesses without grounding. Core Principle Accuracy first, efficiency second. Choose mode first, query what's needed for reliable conclusion. Structure first, semantics when blocked. Iron Rule Accuracy and evidence override coverage. Every claim requires direct evidence of the matching type. If evidence does not support a conclusion: Return Unknown or a lower-confidence result State which evidence is present and missing Avoid inventing roles or meanings to make output look complete No evidence, no assertion; weak evidence, weak conclusion. Each claim type demands specific evidence — a device's power domain requires checking its VDD/VCC pin, an interface mode requires tracing all signal lines to their endpoints, not just some. Inferences from device type, connector names, page location, or neighboring components are not sufficient on their own. See the evidence requirements table in SCHEMATIC_STRATEGY.md Rule 6. CLI Commands The skill uses three commands only: overview — Project First Look python scripts/schematic-cli.py overview <project> Output: Project page count, component count, net count Page navigation (numbered index for --page queries) Core component candidates (ranked by structural connectivity) Use when: Architecture analysis, design review, or need page context. query — Inspect Objects All query commands output JSON. Key fields for filtering: Query Type Top-level Keys Sub-object Keys --page index, name, file, type, components, nets components[i]: ref, value, mpn; nets[i]: name, pin_count --component ref, value, mpn, page_index, properties, nets, neighbors nets[i]: name, pin; neighbors: shared_nets --net name, hierarchical_labels, global_labels, local_labels, pages, pins pins[i]: ref, pin --property key, values values[i]: mpn, refs # Query by page index (from overview) python scripts/schematic-cli.py query <project> --page <index> # → Filter large output: # | python -c \"import sys,json; d=json.load(sys.stdin); print([c['ref'] for c in d['components']])\" # | python -c \"import sys,json; d=json.load(sys.stdin); print([n['name'] for n in d['nets']])\" # Query component by reference python scripts/schematic-cli.py query <project> --component <ref> # filtered (active pins) python scripts/schematic-cli.py query <project> --component <ref> --full # complete (includes unconnected) # → Filter large output: # | python -c \"import sys,json; d=json.load(sys.stdin); print(d.get('value'), d.get('mpn'))\" # | python -c \"import sys,json; import json as j; d=j.load(sys.stdin); del d['neighbors']; print(j.dumps(d, indent=2))\" # Search components by text python scripts/schematic-cli.py query <project> --component --match <text> # Query net by exact name python scripts/schematic-cli.py query <project> --net <name> # Search nets by text python scripts/schematic-cli.py query <project> --net --match <text> # Query property values python scripts/schematic-cli.py query <project> --property <key> # → Filter large output: # | python -c \"import sys,json; d=json.load(sys.stdin); print([v['mpn'] for v in d['values'] if v['mpn']])\" # Pattern matching (explicit YAML required) python scripts/schematic-cli.py query <project> --pattern <yaml_file> --full switch : Use only when blocker requires complete pin-net mapping (e.g., \"which pins are unconnected\"). Default filtered output hides unconnected-* pins. cache — Cache Management python scripts/schematic-cli.py cache <project> --status python scripts/schematic-cli.py cache <project> --clear Negative Evidence What is NOT connected is as important as what IS connected. Unconnected signal lines indicate reduced operating mode DNP components indicate optional/alternative configuration Missing connections are facts, not gaps to fill with assumptions When determining interface mode or device configuration: Check ALL signal lines, not just the ones that are connected Unconnected lines are evidence of operating mode, not \"incomplete design\" Do not assume a function is active because the pin name suggests it Anti-Patterns Don't: Dump Raw Files ❌ Read the entire .kicad_sch, Cadence XML, or Allegro netlist files ❌ Paste full netlist into context ❌ Export all JSON and load into prompt Don't: Batch Everything ❌ Look up 50 MPNs in MCP before understanding the design ❌ Read all datasheets before identifying core components Don't: Guess Without Evidence ❌ \"U10 is probably the main controller\" (without connectivity evidence) ❌ \"This is a power supply\" (without checking nets) Don't: Always Run Overview ❌ Run overview before every targeted query (--component U10) ❌ Run overview when user asks about a specific net (--net GND) ✓ Run overview only when: architecture mode, review mode, or need page context Don't: Infer From One Side of a Connection ❌ Conclude interface mode from connector pin names alone without tracing signal lines to controller ❌ Conclude device power domain from bus pull-up voltage or neighboring device power ❌ Assume devices on the same bus share the same power domain ❌ Assume a function is active because the pin name suggests it, without checking the other endpoint Don't: Ignore What's NOT Connected ❌ Skip unconnected signal lines when determining interface mode ❌ Overlook diode-connected power paths as \"just protection\" ❌ Fill in missing evidence with assumptions to make output look complete Reading Strategy For entry mode selection, reading loop, and detailed workflow, see SCHEMATIC_STRATEGY.md . Never : Dump full .kicad_sch files, Cadence XML files, Allegro netlist files, or exported JSON into context. MCP Integration pcbparts tools mcp__pcbparts__jlc_search : Search component by part number mcp__pcbparts__jlc_get_part : Get detailed specs by LCSC code Use when: Component role unclear from structure alone, need part specs. ee-datasheet-master skill Use when: MCP has no data and you need pin functions, electrical specs, or device-specific behavior. How to invoke : /ee-datasheet-master <datasheet_path> \"<question>\" Critical rules : Invoke the skill explicitly — do not read datasheets with general PDF tools No datasheet? Ask user — if the required datasheet is not available, ask the user to provide it: \"I need the datasheet for to answer about . Can you provide the PDF?\" Never guess datasheet content — do not rely on prior knowledge or assume specifications Escalation order : Structural evidence → pcbparts MCP → ee-datasheet-master → re-ground to schematic. Examples Example 1: Targeted Query User: \"U10 是什么？\" # Direct query, no overview - extract basic identity python scripts/schematic-cli.py query data/E1005/ --component U10 \\ | python -c \"import sys,json; d=json.load(sys.stdin); print(f\\\"Value: {d['value']}, MPN: {d.get('mpn')}, Page: {d['page_name']}\\\")\" # If need net summary for context: # | python -c \"import sys,json; d=json.load(sys.stdin); print(f\\\"Nets ({len(d['nets'])}): {[n['name'].split('/')[-1] for n in d['nets'][:5]]}...\\\")\" # If role unclear, escalate to MCP Example 2: Architecture Analysis User: \"分析这个项目的整体架构\" # Architecture mode follows SCHEMATIC_STRATEGY.md Rule 1 + Reading Loop: # start with project scope, then page decomposition, then core anchors, then cross-page nets. # Step 1: overview establishes page index + core candidates python scripts/schematic-cli.py overview data/E1005/ # From overview, identify: # - top core candidate(s) # - page indices for main logic, power, peripherals, display, etc. # Step 2: inspect the populated architecture pages identified by overview python scripts/schematic-cli.py query data/E1005/ --page 8 \\ | python -c \"import sys,json; d=json.load(sys.stdin); print(f\\\"MCU page {d['index']} {d['name']}: components={[c['ref'] + ':' + c['value'] for c in d['components'] if c['ref'].startswith('U')][:8]}, nets={[n['name'].split('/')[-1] for n in d['nets'][:8]]}\\\")\" python scripts/schematic-cli.py query data/E1005/ --page 6 \\ | python -c \"import sys,json; d=json.load(sys.stdin); print(f\\\"Power page {d['index']} {d['name']}: components={[c['ref'] + ':' + c['value'] for c in d['components'] if c['ref'].startswith('U')][:8]}, nets={[n['name'].split('/')[-1] for n in d['nets'][:8]]}\\\")\" python scripts/schematic-cli.py query data/E1005/ --page 10 \\ | python -c \"import sys,json; d=json.load(sys.stdin); print(f\\\"I/O page {d['index']} {d['name']}: components={[c['ref'] + ':' + c['value'] for c in d['components'] if c['ref'].startswith(('U','J','USB'))][:8]}, nets={[n['name'].split('/')[-1] for n in d['nets'][:8]]}\\\")\" # Step 3: inspect the top core component from overview, but read it as an index into the design python scripts/schematic-cli.py query data/E1005/ --component U10 \\ | python -c \"import sys,json; d=json.load(sys.stdin); neighbors = sorted(d['neighbors']['shared_nets'], key=lambda x: x['fanout'], reverse=True)[:8]; print(f\\\"Core {d['ref']} {d['value']} on {d['page_name']}: top_shared_nets={[(n['net'].split('/')[-1], n['fanout']) for n in neighbors]}\\\")\" # Step 4: expand around one verified cross-page net from the core to identify subsystem participants python scripts/schematic-cli.py query data/E1005/ --net /SCH_TOP/USB_DP \\ | python -c \"import sys,json; d=json.load(sys.stdin); refs=sorted(set(p['ref'] for p in d['pins'])); print(f\\\"Net {d['name'].split('/')[-1]}: pages={d['pages']}, refs={refs}\\\")\" # Step 5: only after the structure is grounded, inspect secondary anchors such as power or peripherals python scripts/schematic-cli.py query data/E1005/ --component U1 \\ | python -c \"import sys,json; d=json.load(sys.stdin); nets=[n['name'].split('/')[-1] for n in d['nets'] if any(k in n['name'].upper() for k in ['VIN','VBUS','VSYS','3V3','BAT'])]; print(f\\\"Power anchor {d['ref']} {d['value']}: nets={nets}\\\")\" # At this point, do not rush to summarize the whole project. # These commands should tell you whether the design skeleton is clear: who is the main controller, # where power comes in and is converted, and how one major external interface reaches the core. # If that skeleton is still incomplete, look at the missing subsystem next rather than jumping around. # A good architecture answer should read like connected blocks: controller, power, I/O, peripherals, display/storage. # If one of those blocks is still vague, keep expanding from the nearest confirmed page, net, or anchor component. Example 3: Bus Detection User: \"I2C 总线上挂了哪些设备？\" # Pattern mode workflow (see SCHEMATIC_STRATEGY.md Rule 1): # Step 1: Discover actual I2C signal names in this project (--match supports regex) python scripts/schematic-cli.py query data/E1005/ --net --match \"SDA|SCL|I2C\" # Output shows hierarchical_labels: MISC_I2C_SCL, BFG_I2C_SDA, etc. # Each match includes: name, kind (net/hierarchical_label/local_label), pages, pin_count # Step 2: If I2C uses GPIO naming, search with $ anchor for exact match: python scripts/schematic-cli.py query data/E1005/ --net --match \"GPIO0$|GPIO1$\" # Use $ to avoid matching GPIO10, GPIO11, etc. # Output reveals: GPIO0/GPIO1 are used for main I2C in this design # Step 3: Trace the net to get ALL participants on the bus python scripts/schematic-cli.py query data/E1005/ --net \"/SCH_TOP/ESP32-S3R8/GPIO0\" \\",
