Control Systems Estimation Intermediate

# Control Systems Estimation Intermediate Skill

## Overview
This skill enables estimation in the domain of control-systems (engineering). It represents intermediate-level expertise and is designed for production use in research, industry, and educational contexts.

## Description
Use this skill when you need to perform estimation operations related to control-systems. This includes tasks such as:
- design components
- analyze structures
- analyze structures

The skill leverages CAD software and follows best practices established in the engineering community.

## Trigger Conditions
This skill should be activated when:
1. The user explicitly requests estimation in the context of control-systems
2. The task requires intermediate-level understanding of engineering principles
3. The output needs to be engineering designs
4. The work involves control-systems methodologies or techniques

## Key Capabilities
