Use when you want to systematically explore hypotheses about patterns in empirical data (e.g., deception detection, content analysis). Combines literature insights with data-driven hypothesis testing. For manual hypothesis formulation use hypothesis-generation; for creative ideation use scientific-brainstorming.

Evaluate scientific claims and evidence quality. Use for assessing experimental design validity, identifying biases and confounders, applying evidence grading frameworks (GRADE, Cochrane Risk of Bias), or teaching critical analysis. Best for understanding evidence quality, identifying flaws. For formal peer review writing use peer-review.

Full support with templates, regulatory compliance (HIPAA, FDA, ICH-GCP), and validation tools.

Spectral similarity and compound identification for metabolomics. Use for comparing mass spectra, computing similarity scores (cosine, modified cosine), and identifying unknown compounds from spectral libraries. Best for metabolite identification, spectral matching, library searching. For full LC-MS/MS proteomics pipelines use pyopenms.

Low-level plotting library for full customization. Use when you need fine-grained control over every plot element, creating novel plot types, or integrating with specific scientific workflows. Export to PNG/PDF/SVG for publication. For quick statistical plots use seaborn; for interactive plots use plotly; for publication-ready multi-panel figures with journal styling, use scientific-visualization.

Machine learning in Python with scikit-learn. Use when working with supervised learning (classification, regression), unsupervised learning (clustering, dimensionality reduction), model evaluation, hyperparameter tuning, preprocessing, or building ML pipelines. Provides comprehensive reference documentation for algorithms, preprocessing techniques, pipelines, and best practices.

Create publication-quality scientific diagrams using Nano Banana 2 AI with smart iterative refinement. Uses Gemini 3.1 Pro Preview for quality review. Only regenerates if quality is below threshold for your document type. Specialized in neural network architectures, system diagrams, flowcharts, biological pathways, and complex scientific visualizations.

Latch platform for bioinformatics workflows. Build pipelines with Latch SDK, @workflow/@task decorators, deploy serverless workflows, LatchFile/LatchDir, Nextflow/Snakemake integration.

Query ClinicalTrials.gov via API v2. Search trials by condition, drug, location, status, or phase. Retrieve trial details by NCT ID, export data, for clinical research and patient matching.

Standard single-cell RNA-seq analysis pipeline. Use for QC, normalization, dimensionality reduction (PCA/UMAP/t-SNE), clustering, differential expression, and visualization. Best for exploratory scRNA-seq analysis with established workflows. For deep learning models use scvi-tools; for data format questions use anndata.

This skill should be used when working with LaminDB, an open-source data framework for biology that makes data queryable, traceable, reproducible, and FAIR. Use when managing biological datasets (scRNA-seq, spatial, flow cytometry, etc.), tracking computational workflows, curating and validating data with biological ontologies, building data lakehouses, or ensuring data lineage and reproducibility in biological research. Covers data management, annotation, ontologies (genes, cell types, diseases, tissues), schema validation, integrations with workflow managers (Nextflow, Snakemake) and MLOps platforms (W&B, MLflow), and deployment strategies.

Quantum physics simulation library for open quantum systems. Use when studying master equations, Lindblad dynamics, decoherence, quantum optics, or cavity QED. Best for physics research, open system dynamics, and educational simulations. NOT for circuit-based quantum computing—use qiskit, cirq, or pennylane for quantum algorithms and hardware execution.

Query the CELLxGENE Census (61M+ cells) programmatically. Use when you need expression data across tissues, diseases, or cell types from the largest curated single-cell atlas. Best for population-scale queries, reference atlas comparisons. For analyzing your own data use scanpy or scvi-tools.

Official Opentrons Protocol API for OT-2 and Flex robots. Use when writing protocols specifically for Opentrons hardware with full access to Protocol API v2 features. Best for production Opentrons protocols, official API compatibility. For multi-vendor automation or broader equipment control use pylabrobot.

Access comprehensive LaTeX templates, formatting requirements, and submission guidelines for major scientific publication venues (Nature, Science, PLOS, IEEE, ACM), academic conferences (NeurIPS, ICML, CVPR, CHI), research posters, and grant proposals (NSF, NIH, DOE, DARPA). This skill should be used when preparing manuscripts for journal submission, conference papers, research posters, or grant proposals and need venue-specific formatting requirements and templates.

Complete mass spectrometry analysis platform. Use for proteomics workflows feature detection, peptide identification, protein quantification, and complex LC-MS/MS pipelines. Supports extensive file formats and algorithms. Best for proteomics, comprehensive MS data processing. For simple spectral comparison and metabolite ID use matchms.

Query STRING API for protein-protein interactions (59M proteins, 20B interactions). Network analysis, GO/KEGG enrichment, interaction discovery, 5000+ species, for systems biology.

Systematically evaluate scholarly work using the ScholarEval framework, providing structured assessment across research quality dimensions including problem formulation, methodology, analysis, and writing with quantitative scoring and actionable feedback.

Query ChEMBL bioactive molecules and drug discovery data. Search compounds by structure/properties, retrieve bioactivity data (IC50, Ki), find inhibitors, perform SAR studies, for medicinal chemistry.

Cloud-based quantum chemistry platform with Python API. Preferred for computational chemistry workflows including pKa prediction, geometry optimization, conformer searching, molecular property calculations, protein-ligand docking (AutoDock Vina), and AI protein cofolding (Chai-1, Boltz-1/2). Use when tasks involve quantum chemistry calculations, molecular property prediction, DFT or semiempirical methods, neural network potentials (AIMNet2), protein-ligand binding predictions, or automated computational chemistry pipelines. Provides cloud compute resources with no local setup required.
