Install

Install ADOM'S OWN machine-contact and machine-pin libraries into Altium Designer — ships the pre-converted Adom Symbol Library (.SchLib) + Adom Footprint Library (.PcbLib) with linked symbols, footprints, and 3D bodies, for a one-command install (no per-import conversion). Specifically for getting Adom's standard machine pins/contacts into a user's Altium, plus a converter to regenerate them from the KiCad sources. NOT a general 'add any component to Altium' tool. Counterpart to adom-kicad-library-importer.

Adom Altium Library Importer

Installs Adom's standard component libraries into Altium Designer — ready-made .SchLib + .PcbLib (symbols linked to footprints, footprints with 3D bodies) so getting Adom's machine contacts and machine pins into Altium is a fast one-command install, with no KiCad→Altium conversion at import time.

Counterpart to adom-kicad-library-importer (same components, KiCad target).

What's bundled (libs/)

Library Contents
Adom Symbol Library.SchLib MachineContact Medium/Large, MachinePin Medium/Large × Standard/Short
Adom Footprint Library.PcbLib the matching footprints, each with its STEP 3D body

Symbols are linked to their footprints (by name), so placing a symbol pulls in the right footprint + 3D. KiCad sources are in sources/ for regeneration.

Install

adompkg install barrett-land/adom-altium-library-importer

Then, on a machine with Adom Desktop connected and Altium Designer open:

python ~/.claude/skills/adom-altium-library-importer/install.py

install.py is self-contained: it installs the altium Adom Desktop bridge from the wiki if needed, pushes the two bundled libraries to the desktop, and registers them in Altium's Available Libraries. Afterwards the Adom parts appear in Altium's Components panel.

Also included

  • convert.py — regenerate/extend the Altium libraries from the KiCad sources (.kicad_mod + STEP → Altium footprint with 3D body).
  • import_part.py — add an external catalog part (resistor/cap/IC) to a named Altium library with the LCSC Part # parameter attached (for JLCPCB BOM/CPL), from a downloaded Altium .IntLib.

See SKILL.md for full usage and the altium bridge verb reference.
