Retro Circuit Mockups Skill for Muse
Draw breadboard layouts for retro electronics projects
- What
- Draw breadboard layouts for retro electronics projects
- Cost
- Free
- Needs
- nothing to install — just your electronics project idea (e.g. a 555 timer circuit, a 6502 build) and any component datasheets you want Muse to cross-check. Fetch the whole skill folder from the repo: the SKILL.md plus the assets and references/ pinout files.
- Install
- Copy the installer prompt below into your Muse — your agent does the rest.
Curated by Skill Harbor — a free, open-source skill (MIT) by @github (awesome-copilot collection), listed here with credit to its creator. Turns Muse into a retro-electronics lab assistant: it guides you through mocking up breadboard circuit layouts in HTML5 Canvas — placing a W65C02S microprocessor, 28C256 EEPROM, 7400-series logic gates, 555 timers, LEDs, resistors and jumper wires on a grid, with pinout quick-references (555, W65C02S, 28C256), Ohm's-law and 555 timing formulas, and color-coding conventions for wires and LEDs. It ships step-by-step build guides (a single LED, a 555 astable blinker, a full 6502 layout with address/data bus wiring) and a troubleshooting table. Discovered via skills.sh. Honest note: these are visual mockups for planning and learning, not simulators — nothing here computes whether your circuit actually works, so double-check pinouts and resistor values against real datasheets before powering anything; the bundled reference files live in the repo, fetch the whole skill folder, not just the SKILL.md. Skill Harbor never reviews the code, review it yourself before use. Not verified.

Prerequisites: nothing to install — just your electronics project idea (e.g. a 555 timer circuit, a 6502 build) and any component datasheets you want Muse to cross-check. Fetch the whole skill folder from the repo: the SKILL.md plus the assets and references/ pinout files. Install "Retro Circuit Mockups Skill for Muse" for me. Guides Muse through mocking up breadboard circuit layouts for retro electronics projects in HTML5 Canvas — component placement (6502, 555, 7400-series, LEDs, passives) on a breadboard grid, pinout quick-references, Ohm's-law and 555 formulas, wire color conventions, and step-by-step build guides from a single LED to a full 6502 microprocessor layout. Repository: https://github.com/github/awesome-copilot 1. Fetch the SKILL.md file (and any helper files: assets/, references/) from the skill folder "legacy-circuit-mockups" in the repository into a temporary folder and summarize what it does in one or two sentences. 2. Safety check: review the SKILL.md and any bundled files for anything suspicious (unexpected network calls, shell commands, credential harvesting). This repo should contain zero secrets in code, credentials only via the secure vault, allowed hosts declared in the SKILL.md. Verify that holds here; STOP on any red flag and tell me. 3. Install it as a skill: copy SKILL.md and its helper files into the agent's skills directory, in a folder named "legacy-circuit-mockups". 4. Verify with no network calls: frontmatter valid, files in place. 5. Report what was installed, where, and what I still need to do myself (e.g. describe the circuit I want to mock up and provide real datasheets to cross-check pinouts). GitHub is optional: if I have a GitHub account or the gh CLI, you may use it; otherwise public access is fine. Rules: don't touch anything outside the temp folder and the install target. If anything looks off, stop and ask me.
Questions
How do I install a build?
Every product page includes a copy-paste install prompt. Paste it into your Muse and it sets the build up for you — no manual configuration.
Where does my money go?
Straight to the seller. Skill Harbor never processes payments: checkout happens on the seller’s own page, usually Stripe.
What does the ✓ next to a creator’s name mean?
It means we confirmed the identity of the person behind the listing. It says nothing about the code itself — always check a build before installing it.
