Datasheet Reader

If you're working with component datasheets or technical PDFs, this skill converts them to markdown so Claude can actually read and extract information from them. You run `pcb scan` with either a local PDF path or an HTTP(S) URL, it spits out a markdown file path, and you read that instead of wrestling with raw PDFs. It's designed for the electronics workflow where you're constantly pulling specs from manufacturer datasheets or following datasheet links from KiCad symbols. The markdown output includes image links for diagrams and tables, which you can check if the task needs them. It's a thin wrapper around the `pcb` tool, but it saves you from having to remember the ceremony of PDF-to-text conversion every time you need to look up a pin configuration or voltage rating.
