Add custom EMS control or reporting logic (EnergyPlus Python Plugins) — setpoint resets, schedule overrides, supervisory control, custom metrics. Use when no packaged HVAC/schedule tool covers the control logic the user wants.

OpenStudio Analysis Framework (OSAF) workflows, algorithm selection, validation, submission, and result download. Use when the user asks about OSAF, OpenStudio Server analyses, sampling, sweeps, optimization, calibration, or OSA JSON configs.

Create, test, and apply custom OpenStudio measures. Use when user asks to "write a measure", "create a custom measure", "modify the model with Ruby/Python code", or needs logic beyond what existing tools provide.

Generate comprehensive energy analysis report from simulation results. Use when user asks for "energy report", "full results", or "detailed analysis".

OpenStudio model object relationships, tool dependencies, and common error patterns. Use when building or modifying models to ensure correct tool ordering.

Run model quality checks before simulation. Use when user asks to "check the model", "validate", "QA/QC", or before running a simulation.

Create a complete building model from scratch — geometry, envelope, loads, HVAC, weather, and simulation. Use when user wants to "create a building", "build a model", or "start a new model".

Analyze energy conservation measures — apply upgrades and compare before/after performance. Use when user asks about "retrofit", "upgrade", "ECM", "energy savings", or "what-if analysis".

Build and tune retrieval configs that search, rank, and collect ordinance documents in COMPASS. Use whenever a user asks to improve retrieval precision/recall, tune search queries/keywords, or debug acquisition quality before extraction tuning.

Execute one-shot extraction with COMPASS and iterate quickly with low cost. Use whenever a user asks to run, smoke-test, validate, debug, or scale one-shot schema extraction for any technology.

Author and tune one-shot plugin YAML for COMPASS document discovery, filtering, and text collection. Use whenever a user asks to create, clean up, standardize, or troubleshoot one-shot plugin YAML for technology onboarding.

Author and iterate one-shot extraction schemas for native COMPASS. Use whenever a user asks to create, expand, or debug schema feature definitions, value/unit rules, or extraction instructions.

Implement and refactor Python code with TDD, API signature discipline, and maintainable design. Use for feature development, bug fixes, test-first workflows, and quality-focused refactoring.

Score how well-defined a task is, ask one clarifying question at a time, and decide when to proceed. Use for requirement clarification and confidence-gated execution in any agent workflow.

Create and review Python docstrings and Markdown docs. Use when updating NumPy docstrings, auditing documentation quality, writing docs sections, and validating documentation completeness.

Build, inspect, and evolve PLEXOS input databases using plexosdb's PlexosDB/SQLiteManager APIs, class/collection navigation, object and membership management, property authoring, scenario tagging, and XML import/export round-trips. Use for PLEXOS-format input databases (SQLite-backed `.xml` models); for generic infrasys `System` component models use the `infrasys` skill instead.

Review new or modified API features for completeness and consistency

Build and maintain r2x-core translators across plugin lifecycle, rule mapping, DataStore ingestion, units, and upgrades. Use when tasks mention r2x-core plugins/rules/datastore/unit-system/versioning, translator discovery, model conversion pipelines, schema migrations, or function transforms built on infrasys System/Component models.
