akcli-circuit-designlisted

Read, analyze, diff, and draw electronic schematics with the zero-dependency `akcli` CLI (akcli) — no Altium or KiCad install required. Use this skill whenever the task involves: reading or parsing an Altium .SchDoc/.SchLib/.PcbDoc or a KiCad .kicad_sch/.kicad_sym/.kicad_pcb; extracting a netlist; running ERC, power-rail, BOM, or a design review on a schematic; producing a pin map / pinout / MCU pin->net table; diffing two schematic revisions (v1 vs v2); drawing or editing a KiCad schematic from an op-list; or working with JLC/LCSC/EDA parts, footprints, and connectivity. Triggers on keywords: SchDoc, kicad_sch, schematic, netlist, ERC, electrical rule check, design review, power rails, pinmap, pinout, schematic diff, draw KiCad, op-list.

# akcli-circuit-design — driving `akcli` for schematic read / analyze / diff / draw `akcli` is a zero-dependency Python ≥3.11 CLI that reads **Altium binary** `.SchDoc` / `.SchLib` / `.PcbDoc` and **KiCad** `.kicad_sch` / `.kicad_sym` / `.kicad_pcb` into one normalized model, runs design checks, diffs revisions, and writes KiCad schematics from an op-list — with **no Altium or KiCad installed**. It is **not** an Altium-to-KiCad converter. When the plugin is installed, `akcli` is on `PATH`. Run it with the `Bash` tool. From a raw checkout instead use `PYTHONPATH=src python3 -m akcli ...` or `bin/akcli ...`. ## Core design principles (follow these — they are why this tool exists) - **Raw data only at the source; derive everything yourself, downstream.** Readers emit a normalized model (components, pins, nets, primitives); checks/diff/pinmap compute on top of it. - **Never trust a single tool blindly.** The original Altium net merge had a real bug (split same-name `GND`, dropped a `STAT`↔`LED1_GPIO_RD` alias). Always **verify converted/derived results**: re-read after writing, cross-check a netlist against an expected table, and treat any vacuous "0 findings" with suspicion (read the metadata caveats `check` prints — passive-pin ratio, No-ERC suppressed count, unnamed-net count). - **Altium is read/analyze-only.** `akcli` never writes Altium files offline. KiCad gets a full cross-platform writer (`plan`/`draw`). For Altium edits, deliver human draw instructions p
