How to use the PyMAPDL command-line interface to start, stop, list, and execute commands on MAPDL instances from a terminal. Use this skill whenever the user wants to control MAPDL from the command line, run APDL commands via the shell, manage running MAPDL processes, script MAPDL workflows without writing Python, or pipe APDL into a running solver — even if they don't explicitly say "CLI".

Use when interacting with ANSYS AEDT through the current PyAEDT CLI. Triggers on requests to start or inspect AEDT sessions, manage projects, create designs, run scripts, export screenshots or configurations, or use the PyAEDT command line from the workspace virtual environment.

This skill is used for writing tests to aid developers in ensuring code works properly. Use when a user mentions "writing tests", "adding code coverage", "testing new feature", asks to "write unit tests", or says "write a unit test for" something specific.

Write, run, and debug tests for PyDyna keywords and cards. Use for: writing new pytest tests for keyword rendering/parsing, adding reference files, using conftest fixtures (string_utils, file_utils, ref_string, runner), understanding the run marker, checking test failures. Do NOT use for codegen validation tests — those are separate.

Write, review, or edit PyMechanical documentation. Use when writing reStructuredText (RST) files, Python docstrings, Sphinx configurations, example scripts, README files, or any doc content for the PyMechanical library. This covers NumPy docstrings, RST file formatting, Google developer style guide rules, Sphinx extensions, Vale linting, and content structure.
