# EPICS Control System
## Purpose
Provides expert guidance on EPICS for accelerator and beamline control systems, including IOC configuration and channel access.
## Capabilities
- IOC configuration and deployment
- Channel Access protocol
- Archiver integration
- Alarm handling
- OPI screen development
- Python/caproto scripting
## Usage Guidelines
1. **IOC Setup**: Configure Input/Output Controllers
2. **Channels**: Define process variables and records
3. **Archiving**: Set up archiver for data logging
4. **Alarms**: Configure alarm handling
5. **Python Integration**: Use caproto or pyepics for scripting
## Tools/Libraries
- EPICS
- caproto
- pyepics
- phoebus

Adversarial multi-agent planning skill. Self-orchestrates 5 hostile category members (unspecified-low, unspecified-high, deep, ultrabrain, artistry) via team-mode for ruthless cross-critique debate, distills only the defensible insights, then MANDATORILY hands the distilled insight bundle to the `plan` agent for executable plan formalization. Use when planning needs maximum rigor and surfacing of weak assumptions, blind spots, and over-engineering. Triggers: 'hyperplan', 'hpp', '/hyperplan', ...
Ultra-compressed communication mode. Cuts token usage ~75% by speaking like caveman while keeping full technical accuracy. Supports intensity levels: lite, full (default), ultra, wenyan-lite, wenyan-full, wenyan-ultra. Use when user says "caveman mode", "talk like caveman", "use caveman", "less tokens", "be brief", or invokes /caveman. Also auto-triggers when token efficiency is requested.
**Complete production-ready guide for Google Gemini embeddings API** This skill provides comprehensive coverage of the `gemini-embedding-001` model for generating text embeddings, including SDK usage, REST API patterns, batch processing, RAG integration with Cloudflare Vectorize, and advanced use cases like semantic search and document clustering. ---
Use when a repo needs CodeGraph plus ast-grep for Codex MCP setup, exploration, impact analysis, structural search, or safe refactor planning.
Interview, source-challenge, verify, save, and ADR-gate fuzzy coding requests into Codex-ready implementation specs. Use when a feature, bugfix, refactor, migration, repo-wide change, or architecture task needs user-verified requirements, source-backed decisions, durable architecture decisions, acceptance criteria, validation commands, rollout notes, saved spec/ADR files, and a Codex execution prompt. Do not use when already fully specified or when the user wants direct implementation now.
