adom-wiki skills install adom/kicad-donut-padGenerate KiCad donut / annular-ring pads for footprints that need a copper ring around a non-plated through-hole (NPTH), such as bottom-port MEMS microphones. Trigger words: donut pad, annular ring pad, ring pad, NPTH ring, copper ring pad, acoustic port pad, sound port pad, MEMS microphone footprint, custom pad ring, kicad custom pad polygon, kicad annular ring, donut footprint, ring-shaped pad, hollow pad, pad with hole, pad around NPTH. Use when the user wants to create a KiCad footprint pad shaped like a ring/donut (copper annulus around a central hole), typically seen on MEMS microphone GND pads where the acoustic port passes through the center.

Health: the size chip is green when right-sized, yellow when getting long, red when the model likely skims it. A green check is a passed preamble/structure signal; an amber mark is a gentle nudge, not a hard failure.
