This benchmark measured an earlier version of the skill.
A newer attempt on gemini-3.6-flash on 10/3/2026 did not produce a publishable comparison (not comparable). The snapshot above is the previously measured run.
One of 4 test cases the skill fixed. Same model, same prompt, with and without the skill.
We need to check schematic component footprints and assign missing footprint references for `sensor_hub.kicad_sch` before manufacturing. Which extra toolset should be loaded?

The instructions your model reads when the skill loads.
Prepare manufacturing outputs through Konnect MCP tools. Treat each tool result
as evidence with a named scope: a successful request is not by itself proof of a
complete, current, upload-ready package. A required check or artifact that cannot
be established makes the manufacturing verdict INCOMPLETE.
Load the required toolsets:
load_toolset('pcb_export') # Gerber, drill, BOM, position, 3D, and direct DRC evidence
load_toolset('manufacturing') # Package export, manufacturing preflight, and rough cost estimate
Load additional toolsets only for the branch that needs them:
load_toolset('sch_analysis') # schematic inventory and footprint assignment
load_toolset('integration') # local JLCPCB catalogue and alternatives
Call get_active_toolsets() before loading more.

JLCPCB is the selected fabricator or assembler. It defines how to capture the
current order contract without caching volatile limits, prices, categories,
or field names in this skill.Before checking or exporting, record the selected fabricator, service tier, stackup, copper weight, finish, assembly sides, stencil requirement, quantity, and any controlled-impedance service. Record the source and retrieval date for every vendor-controlled requirement. Project rules and output acceptance are
