# datasheets output preview
## PART A: Task fit
- Use case: Extract structured specifications from electronic component datasheet PDFs — pinouts, electrical characteristics, peripherals, topology, and features. Cache extractions per project for consumption by schematic and PCB analyzers. Primary consumer infrastructure for `kicad`, `emc`, `spice`, and `thermal` analyzers. Use this skill whenever the user asks to extract, verify, or read specs from a component datasheet; when analyzers need verified IC knowledge (EN pin thresholds, PG presence, USB peripheral speed); or when a review mentions datasheet coverage, extraction quality, or per-MPN specifications. Also triggers on "extract this datasheet", "what are the specs for MPN X", "verify datasheet extraction", or "check pin functions for part Y"..
- Inputs: target material, constraints, expected output, and acceptance criteria.
- Evidence boundary: follow “Purpose / Scope / Non-goals” and do not present inference as author intent.
## PART B: Execution result
- **01** The card summarizes the use case; runtime output centers on “Extract structured specifications from electronic component datasheet PDFs — pinouts, electrical characteristics, peripherals, topology, and features. Cache extractions per project for consumption by schematic and PCB analyzers. Primary consumer infrastructure for `kicad`, `emc`, `spice`, and `thermal` analyzers. Use this skill whenever the user asks to extract, verify, or read specs from a component datasheet; when analyzers need verified IC knowledge (EN pin thresholds, PG presence, USB peripheral speed); or when a review mentions datasheet coverage, extraction quality, or per-MPN specifications. Also triggers on "extract this datasheet", "what are the specs for MPN X", "verify datasheet extraction", or "check pin functions for part Y".”.
- **02** When the source has headings, the agent prioritizes “Purpose / Scope / Non-goals” so the result follows the author’s structure.
- **03** Typical output includes task judgment, concrete steps, required commands or file edits, validation, and follow-up options.
- **04** Risk context follows the fingerprint: read files, write/modify files; mostly runs locally; usually needs no extra API key.
## Running Rules
- read files, write/modify files; mostly runs locally; usually needs no extra API key.
- Validate with a small sample before expanding scope.
- Return the result, validation criteria, and next iteration options. The source does not require a stable slash command. After installation, invoke the skill by name and describe the task.
Name target files or source material, expected output, forbidden changes, and whether network or shell access is allowed. Permission fingerprint: read files, write/modify files.
Start with a small task and check whether the result follows “Purpose / Scope / Non-goals”. Inspect diffs, logs, previews, or tests before expanding scope.
Confirm the final output includes a concrete result, evidence, and next action. If it stays generic, tighten inputs, boundaries, and acceptance criteria.

## When to use
- Extract structured specifications from electronic component datasheet PDFs — pinouts, electrical characteristics, peri…
- Use it when the task has clear inputs, repeatable steps, and validation criteria.
## What to provide
- Target material, scope, expected result, and forbidden changes.
- Whether network, commands, file writes, or external services are allowed.
## Execution rules
- Organize steps around “Purpose / Scope / Non-goals” and keep inference separate from source facts.
- read files, write/modify files; mostly runs locally; usually needs no extra API key.
- Validate with a small sample before expanding the task.
## Output requirements
- Return the deliverable, key evidence, validation method, and next action.
- Mark missing information as unknown; do not invent commands, platforms, or dependencies. The author source anchors workflow facts; repository files anchor sources and commands; Fluxly only adds fit, limitations, and quality judgment.

Purpose
Extract structured, machine-readable specifications from component datasheet PDFs and make them available to analyzer skills. Works on whatever PDFs are downloaded under <project>/datasheets/ (downloads are owned by distributor skills like digikey, mouser, lcsc, element14).
Scope
This skill owns:
- Extraction schema — the canonical JSON structure for per-MPN specs. Versioned via
EXTRACTION_VERSIONinscripts/datasheet_extract_cache.py. - PDF page selection — heuristics to pick pages most likely to contain pinouts, e-chars, applications, SPICE models.
- Quality scoring — weighted rubric (pin coverage, voltage ratings, application info, electrical chars, SPICE specs).
- Consumer API — helpers in
scripts/datasheet_features.pyfor other skills to query specific fields (e.g.,get_regulator_features(mpn),get_mcu_features(mpn)). - Verification — consistency checks between extracted data and schematic/PCB usage.
Non-goals
- No PDF downloading. That is owned by distributor skills (
digikey,mouser,lcsc,element14). - No global library. Each project's extractions live in
<project>/datasheets/extracted/. There is no shared cross-project cache.
Cache location

Extraction workflow
- User runs an analyzer or requests extraction.
- This skill checks the cache (
<project>/datasheets/extracted/<MPN>.json). - On cache miss / stale / low score: Claude reads selected PDF pages and extracts structured data.
- Extraction is scored; if score ≥ 6.0, cached.
- Consumers query via
datasheet_features.py.
When to trigger this skill
- Immediately after downloading datasheets via
sync_datasheets_digikey.py,sync_datasheets_lcsc.py, or equivalent. Without extraction, IC-aware checks (VM-001 rail voltage, PS-001 power-good, PR-004 USB, DP-002 USB speed classification) fall back to heuristics on unknown ICs. - Before running analyzers on a new project where datasheets are present but
datasheets/extracted/is empty — the analyzers won't produce the extractions themselves. - When a review flags low trust level due to missing manufacturer evidence: extracting the ICs referenced by power regulators, MCUs, and high-speed peripherals typically flips
trust_level: low→mixedorhigh. - When a user asks for pin verification ("verify U1 pin names match datasheet") — this skill's cached extraction is the authoritative source.
