# altium-part-importer

![Altium Part Importer](docs/hero.png)

Add **any catalog component** (resistor, capacitor, inductor, IC, connector, diode…) to a
user's **Altium Designer** library with its **`LCSC Part #`** attached, so JLCPCB BOM +
pick-and-place exports carry it automatically. Drives Altium headlessly via the `altium`
Adom Desktop bridge.

Three paths (fastest first):
- **Reuse** an existing symbol for a new value (clone + parametric footprint — no fetch).
- **Create** a library from a downloaded Altium `.IntLib` (one batched round-trip).
- **Append** a part into an existing library (cross-lib copy).

Always surveys the user's existing libraries first (`--list-libs`) and never blind-creates.

For Adom's own machine pins/contacts, use `adom-altium-library-importer` instead.

## Install
```
adompkg install barrett-land/altium-part-importer
```
Then read `SKILL.md` — it covers bridge install, the fast workflow, conventions, and gotchas.
