<CRITICAL-RULE> NEVER use the Read, Write, or Edit tools on KiCad files (.kicad_sch, .kicad_pcb, .kicad_sym, .kicad_mod, .kicad_pro, .kicad_prl). ALL KiCad file manipulation MUST go through the kicad MCP tools. NEVER run kicad-cli commands via Bash. If an MCP tool returns an error, try different parameters — do NOT fall back to manual file editing. EVERY KiCad operation has a corresponding MCP tool. Do NOT claim a tool does not exist without first listing all available tools. Key tools that MUST be used instead of file writes: - `add_symbol` — create custom symbol definitions in .kicad_sym files - `create_symbol_library` — create new .kicad_sym library files - `create_schematic` — create new .kicad_sch files - `create_project` — create new .kicad_pro project files If you find yourself thinking "there's no MCP tool for this," you are wrong. Check the tool list again. </CRITICAL-RULE> # KiCad PCB Layout Place footprints and route traces to produce a manufacturable board. This skill assumes you have a completed schematic with a netlist. ## Response Format When this skill activates, print exactly: > Using pcb-layout to place footprints and route traces. Then proceed directly to the Pre-flight Checks. This is a mechanical execution phase — do not ask the user what to do unless board size or layer count is ambiguous and not specified in `specs/bom.md`. Report progress at natural milestones: after footprint placement, after critical trace routing, after autoroute, after post
