datasheet-reader
Original：🇺🇸 English
Translated
Read datasheets and technical PDF documents with `pcb scan`. Use when the user gives a local PDF path or an `http(s)` datasheet/document URL, when a task requires reading, summarizing, extracting information from, or answering questions about a datasheet or technical PDF, or when a KiCad symbol / `.kicad_sym` provides a `Datasheet` property to resolve. Run `pcb scan <input>` in bash, treat stdout as the generated `.md` path, then read that markdown file.

Use this skill when a task depends on a datasheet or technical PDF.
- Input: local path or
.pdfURLhttp(s) - Command:
pcb scan <input> - Output: stdout is the resolved markdown path
- Next step: read the markdown file, not the raw PDF
- Images are linked from the markdown
Workflow
- Run or
pcb scan /path/to/file.pdf.pcb scan https://... - Capture the printed markdown path.
- Read the markdown file and work from that artifact.
- Follow image links only if the task depends on figures, diagrams, or tables.
Examples
bash
pcb scan ./TPS54331.pdf

- Prefer the minimal invocation above. Do not depend on optional flags unless a task explicitly requires them.
- If fails, report the failure briefly and then choose the best fallback.
