This package is both an index of independently owned skills and a home for shared guidance. Its broad scope does not imply that every skill is bundled here. It does not select an AI provider or install all linked applications. +## KiCad in a container: never install it++Containers have no local KiCad, and an AI must never install one (`apt-get install kicad`, pip, conda, flatpak) unless the user explicitly asks. Use the shared KiCad 10 service, [service-kicad](https://wiki.adom.inc/adom/service-kicad): its package puts a `kicad-cli` shim in `~/.local/bin`, so plain `kicad-cli ...` works. It runs on the service, and when the service is down it runs on the native KiCad of the user's own desktop through Adom Bridge. For live board edits use the [KiCad bridge](https://wiki.adom.inc/adom/kicad-bridge). If `service-kicad health` fails, say the service is down and keep going on the desktop; do not install KiCad as a workaround.+ Start with the [skill directory](references/skill-directory.md) to find the relevant owner. Read only the entrypoints and follow-ups needed for the user's task. Respect the selected tool and existing project; use its bridge for live execution, native validation and document lifecycle.  The bundled shared skills are:
