Detect + report + offer first; build the watch→reload loop only on a yes. READ-  + RUN this when a thread is asked about InstaPCB quotes / "bring up my instapcb quote" / "auto-  reload my quote as I change my board". Trigger words — instapcb, insta pcb, instapcb quote,-  quoting engine, bring up my quote, reload quote, on-the-fly quote, auto quote, requote, pcb-  quote, board quote, kicad to quote, watch kicad reload, live quote, instapcb-quote app.------# InstaPCB quoting workflow — discover & wire the live loop (background, opt-in)--You're (likely) a **second background Claude conversation** asked to set up the user's InstaPCB-quoting loop. The dream: they tweak their KiCad board, and their InstaPCB quote **updates by-itself** — no export, no re-upload, no clicking. Get there in stages: **discover → bring up a-quote → offer the live loop → build it only on a yes.** Don't change anything until they confirm.--## 1. Discover (report, don't assume)--The InstaPCB quoting engine is the **`instapcb-quote` app** (Ray's app), surfaced inside Hydrogen as a-webview/app — it is **NOT** part of Hydrogen itself, so locate it rather than guess:--```bash-# Is the quoting app running / reachable? (check the running webviews + workspace tabs)-adom-cli hydrogen probe                          # window_mode, sse-adom-cli hydrogen workspace get                  # open tabs — is an InstaPCB/quote tab already up?-# Where did earlier uploads land? look for staged quotes/uploads:-ls -la ~/project 2>/dev/null | grep -iE "instapcb|quote|gerber"-find ~/project -maxdepth 3 -iname "*instapcb*" -o -iname "*quote*.json" -o -iname "*gerber*" 2>/dev/null | head-```-- If you can't find the app or prior quotes, **say so plainly** and ask the user where the-  InstaPCB app lives (port/URL) and where they uploaded quotes — don't fabricate a "no quotes-  found." (Unknown ≠ none.)-- Report: *which* prior quotes you found (names/ids), and whether the quoting engine is open.--## 2. Bring up a quote in the engine-Open the InstaPCB app in the user's chosen surface and load the quote they pick (see-**hydrogen-open-url** (platform bootstrap) for webview-vs-pup; **wv** is the default for a tab they-keep). If the app exposes a quote-by-id URL or an import action, use it; otherwise drive the UI-(`pup` for a scriptable window). Verify it actually loaded (title/eval), don't assume `ok`.--## 3. Offer the live loop (the payoff) — build only on a yes-*"Want me to wire it so your KiCad edits flow into the quote automatically? You change the-board, I re-export and the quote refreshes — no clicking."* If yes, build the loop:--1. **Watch the KiCad design** — watch the user's `.kicad_pcb` (+ schematic) for saves. Use a-   file watcher in the workspace, or `adom-bridge watch` around a poll of the board's mtime-   (see `adom-bridge-cli-fusion`'s `watch` wrapper for the streaming pattern).-2. **On change → produce the artifact InstaPCB needs.** Most quoting wants **gerbers** — export-   them from KiCad (kicad-cli / the PCB editor's plot), staged into `~/project`. (KiCad bridge:-   open/drive the board — see the platform bridge skill set (KiCad bridge verbs).)-3. **Push to the quoting engine + re-quote.** Feed the new gerbers/board to the `instapcb-quote`-   app (its import/upload path) and trigger a re-quote; if it has no API, drive the upload UI via-   `pup` and reload. **Reload the quote view** so the user sees the new number appear on its own.-4. **Debounce + show state** — don't re-quote on every keystroke-save; debounce, and surface a-   small "re-quoting…" / "quote updated" status so the loop is never silently running.--This is the AI-first electronics loop in miniature: **KiCad → workspace → quote**, glued by the-AI. If it works well, it's exactly the kind of thing worth **publishing to the Adom wiki** so-every InstaPCB user gets the live loop (see [hydrogen-eda-discovery](../hydrogen-eda-discovery/SKILL.md) §3).--## 4. Etiquette-- **Detect + offer; don't auto-build.** The watch loop changes files / drives the app — confirm first.-- **Verify the engine + quotes exist before claiming anything** ("I found 2 quotes: …" or "I-  can't find the InstaPCB app — where is it?"). Never report a false negative.-- Keep the loop **observable + debounced**; let the user pause/stop it.-- InstaPCB is **Ray's `instapcb-quote` app**, not an Hydrogen feature — file quirks/bugs to the-  instapcb-quote feedback list, not as Hydrogen bugs.--## Related skills-- [hydrogen-eda-discovery](../hydrogen-eda-discovery/SKILL.md) — the sibling post-setup discovery tab (EDA tools); same detect→offer pattern + the AI-first/Adom-wiki frame-- the platform bridge skill set — KiCad bridge verbs (open/plot/export the board)-- `pup` — driving the InstaPCB upload/quote UI; **hydrogen-open-url** (platform bootstrap) — opening the app (wv vs pup)
