Self-improvement loop for the kicad skill pack: each tick picks one backlog item, researches forums if needed, builds/tests against the fixture project, commits, and feeds lessons back into the skills. Use on /loop ticks or when asked to improve the kicad skills.

SKILL.md

1.4 KB, as published. Nobody here has run it

Self-improvement loop (one tick = one slice)

Repo: $(kx root). Never test against real user projects (read-only soak targets only); use tests/fixtures/.

Tick protocol

git -C $(kx root) log --oneline | head + read doc/BACKLOG.md — pick the TOP unchecked item only.
If the item needs domain knowledge: ONE focused forum/web sweep (kicad.info, EEVblog, Hackaday, official dev-docs — WebSearch/WebFetch are deferred tools: load via ToolSearch first); distill into the relevant SKILL.md or doc/DESIGN.md — cite the source.
Build the slice; test on fixtures (python3 tests/test_roundtrip.py plus slice-specific test); mutation-test any new verifier rule.
Commit (one commit per step, no Co-Authored-By trailer).
Feed back: update the SKILL.md that the lesson belongs to; tick the backlog box; append new discoveries as new backlog items.
End the tick by suggesting the user run /compact.
