Best use case

MPC Controller Skill is best used when you need a repeatable AI agent workflow instead of a one-off prompt.

Expert skill for Model Predictive Control implementation and tuning

Teams using MPC Controller Skill should expect a more consistent output, faster repeated execution, less prompt rewriting.

When to use this skill

  • You want a reusable workflow that can be run more than once with consistent structure.

When not to use this skill

  • You only need a quick one-off answer and do not need a reusable workflow.
  • You cannot install or maintain the underlying files, dependencies, or repository context.

# MPC Controller Skill

## Overview

Expert skill for designing, implementing, and tuning Model Predictive Controllers for robotic systems, including both linear and nonlinear MPC.

## Capabilities

- Derive kinematic and dynamic robot models
- Formulate MPC optimization problems (QP, NLP)
- Configure CasADi for symbolic differentiation
- Set up ACADO code generation for real-time MPC
- Implement constraint handling (velocity, acceleration, collision)
- Configure cost function weights (tracking, control effort)
- Implement warm starting for fast convergence
- Set up NMPC for nonlinear systems
- Configure terminal constraints and costs
- Optimize solver parameters for real-time execution

## Target Processes

- mpc-controller-design.js
- trajectory-optimization.js
- dynamic-obstacle-avoidance.js
- path-planning-algorithm.js

## Dependencies

- CasADi
- ACADO Toolkit
- OSQP
- qpOASES
- Ipopt

## Usage Context

This skill is invoked when processes require advanced model-based control, trajectory tracking with constraints, or real-time optimization-based control strategies.

## Output Artifacts

- MPC formulation code
- CasADi symbolic models
- ACADO generated code
- QP/NLP solver configurations
- Cost function tuning parameters
- Constraint specifications
