Use for standard SUMO operations when MCP automation, RL tooling, or output analysis are not the primary focus."

# Sumo Core

## Overview
Use this skill to plan and specify standard SUMO workflows and command lines for network creation, demand generation, routing, and running simulations.

## Skill Routing
- Use sumo-env for installation, SUMO_HOME/PATH, or tool availability issues.
- Use sumo-output for output configuration, parsing, and post-processing.
- Use sumo-rl for reinforcement learning traffic signal control tasks.
- Use sumo-mcp when you must run multi-step workflows, live TraCI control, or automated tool execution.

## Core Workflow (CLI)
1. Build or import a network (netgenerate, netconvert, netedit, OSM import).
2. Generate trips or flows (randomTrips.py, od2trips).
3. Compute routes (duarouter) if trips are used.
4. Run the simulation (sumo or sumo-gui) with a .sumocfg file.
5. Add extra definitions via additional files (traffic lights, detectors, outputs).

## MCP Decision
- Stay in this skill for single-step commands or config edits that do not require executing tools.
- Switch to sumo-mcp when the request needs automated execution, multi-step pipelines, or TraCI control.
