<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 Schematic Design — Plan Executor This skill executes schematic plans mechanically. All intelligence (component selection, coordinate calculation, wiring decisions) happened in prior phases. This skill reads a plan and executes it. ## Response Format When this skill activates, announce the mode: - **Plan mode:** Print exactly: "Using schematic-design to execute the placement plan." - **Modification mode:** Print exactly: "Using schematic-design to modify the existing schematic." Then proceed directly to the pre-flight checks for the appropriate mode. Do not ask the user what to d
