## What it does

This skill gives an agent an EasyEDA API reference with 120+ classes, 62 enums, 70 interfaces and 19 type aliases. It covers PCB work, schematics, footprints, symbols, libraries and project operations. It also includes material for reading document source formats in `format/`.

A Node.js WebSocket bridge links the agent to a running EasyEDA client. The server picks an open port from 49620-49629; the agent can check the connection, list connected windows and run code in the selected EasyEDA window.

It requires Node.js 18+, an EasyEDA desktop client with extension support, and the `run-api-gateway.eext` extension. Check extension support first, because the bridge depends on that client connection.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add easyeda/easyeda-api-skill --skill easyeda-api -a claude-code
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `~/.claude/skills/easyeda-api/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/easyeda-api/

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add easyeda/easyeda-api-skill --skill easyeda-api -a codex
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.agents/skills/easyeda-api/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add easyeda/easyeda-api-skill --skill easyeda-api -a cursor
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.cursor/skills/easyeda-api/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install easyeda/easyeda-api-skill easyeda-api
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.github/skills/easyeda-api/SKILL.md`

### Gemini CLI

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add easyeda/easyeda-api-skill --skill easyeda-api -a gemini-cli
```

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/easyeda/easyeda-api-skill
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.devin/skills/easyeda-api/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add easyeda/easyeda-api-skill --skill easyeda-api -a opencode
```

### Claude.ai

**Claude.ai**
- Zip the folder and upload it in Settings → Capabilities → Skills

Where a file is given instead of a command, copy the files from the source to that path: https://github.com/easyeda/easyeda-api-skill/tree/HEAD/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- inspect the current EasyEDA project
- find API methods and type definitions
- run code in a connected EasyEDA window
- debug an extension through the WebSocket bridge
- read schematic or PCB source formats

## Example prompts
- “EasyEDA: get information about the current project.”
- “In EasyEDA, find the API for editing a schematic.”
- “Connect to the EasyEDA window and run a test call.”

# EasyEDA Pro API Skill

Control EasyEDA Pro (嘉立创EDA专业版) programmatically through AI. This skill provides:

1. **Complete API reference** — 120 classes, 62 enums, 70 interfaces, 19 type aliases
2. **WebSocket bridge** — Execute code in the running EasyEDA Pro client
3. **Code patterns** — Common operations for PCB, schematic, library, and project management
4. **Document source format reference** — File format specifications for project, schematic, and PCB sources when users need to analyze or modify EasyEDA document source directly instead of using the API

This skill supports not only live debugging in EasyEDA, but also EasyEDA extension development.
During EasyEDA extension development, AI agents can use the extension-related documentation, API references, type information, usage examples, and bridge-based debugging capabilities provided by this skill to look up APIs, write code, and validate behavior during integration and debugging.

## Architecture

```
┌───────────┐   HTTP/WS     ┌─────────────────┐   WebSocket   ┌───────────┐
│ AI Agent  │ ◄───────────► │  Bridge Server  │ ◄───────────► │  EasyEDA  │
│           │  Port Range   │  (Node.js)      │  Port Range   │  (Client) │
└───────────┘  49620-49629  └─────────────────┘  49620-49629  └───────────┘
```

The server auto-selects an available port from 49620-49629 on startup.
Both AI and EDA clients auto-discover the server by scanning the port range
and verifying a handshake (`service: "easyeda-bridge"`).

## Quick Start

### 1. Command Triggers

When user says **"嘉立创EDA，启动！"**, **"立创EDA，启动！"**, or **"EDA，启动！"**:
