Individual skill
bom
BOM (Bill of Materials) management for electronics projects — the workflow skill that coordinates DigiKey, Mouser, LCSC, element14, JLCPCB, PCBWay, and KiCad skills around a unified BOM lifecycle. Create, update, and maintain BOMs with part numbers, costs, quantities stored as KiCad symbol properties. ALWAYS trigger this skill for any task involving component sourcing, pricing, ordering, distributor searches, BOM export, or fabrication preparation — even if the user names a specific distributor or fab house (e.g. "search DigiKey for...", "generate JLCPCB BOM", "order from Mouser"). This skill analyzes the schematic for sourcing gaps, recommends which distributor/fab skills to call for each gap, and writes results back as symbol properties — the agent (or user) performs the actual searches via the called skills. Also trigger on phrases like "what parts do I need", "order components", "how much will this cost", "export for JLCPCB", "find parts for this board", "compare pricing", or "check stock".

# BOM Management
BOM data lives in **KiCad schematic symbol properties** as the single source of truth. This skill orchestrates the full lifecycle: analyze the schematic, search distributors, validate parts, write properties back, export tracking CSVs, and generate order files.
