<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.

# 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
