Note
Currently this is not in the KiCad PCM, so you need to install it manually, but it's not particularly hard to do.
First, clone this repository to the place you wish to keep it
$ git clone https://github.com/lethalbit/kicad-pdk-libs
Next, Open KiCad and go to Preferences -> Manage Paths, it is recommended you use the path variable PDK_LIBS for the path to the kicad-pdk-libs. It is required to use PDK_ROOT to point to the location where your open_pdk installs are as that is used to ensure SPICE library linkage.
Once that is done, go to Preferences -> Manage Symbol Libraries and add the symbols from the PDK you wish to. For sky130A and sky130B only the base cell libraries are really recommended at the moment.

Once that is done ensure they show up when you try to add a part to eeschema, and you should be good to go!
