Recreate KiCad parsing library "kicad-skip"
I'd like to create a Typescript version of this library:

We can use it as a foundation to build a new tscircuit <> KiCad Importer/Exporter
As we learned with the DSN Converter, it's important to have a really clean architecture for these libraries, not AI-generated slop code (AI can work inside a good architecture, but it often doesn't architect well)
I think we can define a "class-based" system and mostly use a similar API of kicad-skip, that way there's less arguing about the API
This project is very valuable and will open a lot of bounties, but needs to be architected.

Not just for layout anymore! Kicad schems can be easily edited or generated with this open source Python library, and I'll be doing both through the course of this short tutorial, including creating a simple LED grid design generator, to demonstrate some possibilities.
