New Circuit

When to use

• User asks to start, create, or design a new circuit
• User asks to resume a circuit that is in progress
• Invoked via /skidl-ee:new-circuit

Procedure

1. Read pipeline_state.json (project root, see schema in pipeline_state_schema.json).
2. If stage is not "initial", ask: "Resume current circuit <circuit_name> or start fresh?"
3. Spawn the orchestrator agent and pass:
   • current pipeline_state.json contents
   • the user's stated intent (new vs resume)
4. The orchestrator runs the full pipeline:
   • Interview → Architecture → Part sourcing → SKiDL coding → ERC → Export

Inputs

• pipeline_state.json — existing state (may be absent on first run)

Output

• Updated pipeline_state.json with completed stages and file paths
• Files created by downstream agents: SPEC.md, circuits/*.py, outputs/*.net, outputs/BOM.csv

Validation

• Do not hand off to orchestrator without reading pipeline state first
• Never skip the "resume or start fresh?" prompt when a non-initial stage exists
