Datasheet Reader

Use this skill when a task depends on a datasheet or technical PDF.

• Input: local .pdf path or http(s) URL
• 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

1. Run pcb scan /path/to/file.pdf or pcb scan https://....
2. Capture the printed markdown path.
3. Read the markdown file and work from that artifact.
4. Follow image links only if the task depends on figures, diagrams, or tables.

Examples

pcb scan ./TPS54331.pdf
pcb scan https://www.ti.com/lit/gpn/tca9554

Notes

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