What this skill tells the agent
Registry Search
Find suitable prepared content before authoring a new reusable package.
Only discover or clone other boards when the user explicitly asks to find or inspect them; do not search other boards proactively as part of registry package search. For requested board discovery, use diode_list_boards with the workspace name. If inspection is requested, git clone the returned HTTPS URL outside the current checkout; sandbox DiodeHub authentication is already configured.
| Need | Command |
|---|---|
| Reusable circuit or entrypoint | pcb search -m registry:modules <query> -f json |
| Concrete MPN, footprint, availability, or package behind a symbol | pcb search -m registry:components <query> -f json |
| Candidate public API and source root | pcb doc --package <module-url>@<version> |
Use functional queries for functional needs and MPN/manufacturer queries for named parts. If docs are incomplete, inspect the reported source path or tree; do not infer IO/config names from a search snippet.
Prefer a reusable module or reference circuit that matches the actual need, then a component with the required support circuitry, or a primitive when only the raw part is needed. Compare electrical fit, package, pinout, sourcing, and public API. Use preferred-parts when choosing a concrete MPN. Ask only about material unresolved tradeoffs.
Instantiate the chosen .zen entrypoint directly in the consuming design. For example:
PartModule = Module("code.diode.computer/diode/registry/components/<Manufacturer>/<NAME>/<NAME>.zen")Follow zener-language for dependencies and validation; do not hand-edit pcb.toml to add the dependency.
If no suitable result exists or a candidate needs a package/API/circuit fix, use librarian within a registry-authoring task. From board or spec work, prepare a librarian-dispatch request instead of patching reusable packages inline.
