Skills

Claude Code skills for hardware development.

Skill	Description
lcsc-datasheet	Search components on LCSC and download datasheets
datasheet	Convert PDF datasheets to Markdown for querying
netlist-query	Parse Allegro/OrCAD netlists and query circuit connections

Installation

1. Clone

git clone https://github.com/Gary-Hobson/skills.git

2. Copy skills you need into your project or user skills directory

# Project-level (only this project)
cp -r skills/lcsc-datasheet .claude/skills/

# User-level (all projects)
cp -r skills/lcsc-datasheet ~/.claude/skills/

3. Install dependencies

lcsc-datasheet — no setup needed (requests optional, falls back to curl)

datasheet — requires marker-pdf:

pip install marker-pdf
# Run once to download models (~1-2GB):
marker_single datasheet/references/sample.pdf --output_dir /tmp/test --output_format markdown

netlist-query — no setup needed (stdlib only)

How They Work Together

netlist-query                lcsc-datasheet              datasheet
(find chip on board)  →  (search & download PDF)  →  (convert & query)

 the board?"        datasheet"                   address?"
