At a glance

Type: Skill
Works with: KiCad, ngspice
Tool versions: KiCad 10.x for layout generation; not needed for building Zener designs
Operating systems: macOS, Linux, Windows
Needs a KiCad licence: No
AI clients documented: Not stated in its documentation
Licence: MIT
Language: Markdown

importing-kicad-projects converts a .kicad_pro or root .kicad_sch into a Zener package with pcb import, then checks the import diagnostics and BOM.
spice-sim writes focused Zener testbenches and runs them through ngspice in batch mode with pcb sim.
zener-language, librarian and registry-search teach the agent the Starlark-based language and how to find and add parts.

Only useful if you design in Zener with the pcb CLI; the skills don't edit KiCad projects in place.
Native Windows support for the pcb tool is experimental; the project suggests WSL2.
The README doesn't explain how to install the skills into an agent.
