rectifier

What This Skill Does

The rectifier skill is a specialized OpenClaw agent designed to streamline the design, management, and calculation of rectifier circuits. Whether you are an electronics hobbyist or a professional hardware engineer, this skill acts as a command-line interface helper that automates the tracking of circuit configurations, component parameters, and performance metrics. It provides a robust set of utilities to interact with circuit data stored in JSON or CSV formats, allowing you to quickly check the status of specific design projects, manage entries, and generate reports.

Installation

You can integrate this tool into your OpenClaw environment by executing the following command in your terminal: clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/bytesagain3/rectifier Once installed, ensure your RECTIFIER_DIR environment variable is set if you wish to store data outside the default ~/.rectifier/ directory. You can verify the installation and current version by running the scripts/script.sh version command.

Use Cases

This skill is highly effective for developers documenting their power supply design iterations. Use it to keep a central log of rectifier designs, compare component efficiency metrics through the built-in stats command, or automate the bulk export of circuit parameters for integration into simulation software like LTspice or PSpice. It is particularly useful for teams managing multiple rectifier topologies (e.g., full-wave bridge, center-tapped) across several ongoing projects.

Example Prompts

1. "OpenClaw, list all my currently saved rectifier designs to see which ones are using Schottky diodes."
2. "Add a new rectifier entry for a 12V 5A bridge configuration with the following parameters: 4700uF smoothing capacitor and a 200V peak inverse voltage rating."
3. "Show me the statistics for all rectifier circuits currently in the database to identify which design has the highest power throughput."

Tips & Limitations

To maximize the utility of the rectifier skill, organize your data by maintaining consistent naming conventions when adding entries. While the skill excels at data management and basic retrieval, it does not perform complex SPICE-level circuit simulations itself; it is a management tool for your design calculations. Be mindful that frequent file write operations occur when using the add or remove commands, so maintain backups of your ~/.rectifier/ directory if your data is mission-critical. Always use the export command to move data to external formats if you need to perform advanced graphical analysis.
