Operate an already-registered Bluesky scan through the shared plan draft and the plan/results panels: stage the complete configuration in one set_draft, let the human review it live in the plan panel, launch it at a pinned revision, and watch the run. Use when asked to run, launch, or start a scan that already exists. NOT for authoring a new plan file (use writing-bluesky-plans first).
Author a new Bluesky plan for the Bluesky MCP server: the plan-file format (PLAN_METADATA/PARAMS/build_plan), the allowlist the validator enforces, and the author -> validate -> run -> contribute workflow. Use when asked to write, draft, or author a new Bluesky plan, or when an existing plan needs editing before re-validation. NOT for operating an already-registered plan (use the operating-bluesky-scans skill).
Interactive interview to create a custom OSPREY build profile for a new accelerator, detector, or beamline application. Use when someone says "interview me", "create a build profile", "set up my agent", "configure my detector", "onboard me", or needs to create an OSPREY project tailored to their specific control system. Also handles migration from existing OSPREY projects (including LangGraph-era projects) — trigger on "migrate my project", "I have an existing project", "upgrade from old OSPREY", "upgrade from langgraph", "legacy migration", "bring my project forward", "convert my project", "extract profile from existing project", "reverse-engineer build profile". Also use for /osprey-build-interview feedback to collect post-use feedback. Also trigger when onboarding a new colleague or when anyone needs help figuring out what their OSPREY agent should look like.
Author a new OSPREY web-terminal panel — a self-contained, themed HTML mini-app the terminal mounts beside the chat. Use whenever someone wants to create, author, add, scaffold, or build an OSPREY panel, a design-system panel, or a standalone themed surface for the web terminal. Produces a token-only panel that passes the panel validator.
Deployment control plane for an OSPREY-based facility profile repository. Owns the deploy lifecycle end-to-end: scaffolds the deploy infrastructure (docker-compose, .gitlab-ci.yml, scripts/deploy.sh, .env.template) from facility-config.yml, drives the GitLab CI/CD container pipeline (push → CI → manual release tag → server deploy), brings containers up on the deploy server with `scripts/deploy.sh`, and runs post-deploy health checks. Modular opt-in support for OLOG/logbook integration, multi-user web terminals, Ollama embeddings, shared-disk mounts, EPICS-driven event dispatcher, ARIEL database, wiki search, custom MCP servers, e2e benchmarks, and EPICS test IOC management. Use this skill whenever the user is asking about deploying, releasing, pushing to GitLab, building containers, modifying docker-compose files, scripts/deploy.sh, .gitlab-ci.yml, the CI pipeline, the container registry, the deploy server, the .env, the facility-config.yml, webhook triggers, the event dispatcher, web terminals, OLOG, Ollama,
OSPREY's design and architecture principles — the rules that define how OSPREY code should be structured, and the anti-pattern each one prevents. Consult before designing, adding, or reviewing any feature (connectors, MCP servers, providers, capabilities, CLI, registry, runtime, config), and when redirecting work that is drifting from these principles. Trigger when the user says "is this the right direction", "does this fit OSPREY", "this feels wrong", "check the design philosophy", or points an agent at how OSPREY code should look. Apply before adding a config knob, a new abstraction, a new subsystem, or anything touching hardware-write safety.
List, inspect, and switch the simulated machine scenarios that drive the mock control system and mock archiver. Use when the user asks which scenarios are available, which scenario(s) are active, or wants to switch the simulated machine into a different state (e.g. a fault demo or back to nominal), including composing several faults at once.
Guides a contributor through the OSPREY GitHub Flow contribution journey from a working-tree change to a merged PR on main. Use when someone says "I want to contribute X to osprey", "help me commit/push this", "prep this branch for a PR", "open a PR", "my CI is failing on this branch", "rebase onto main", or wants help following the contributing workflow. Auto-detects whether they have push access to als-apg/osprey or are contributing from a fork. Composes with the osprey-pre-commit, commit-organize, and osprey-release skills — invoke this whenever someone is contributing code to OSPREY, even if they haven't named the workflow explicitly.
