Papers

Core skill for the deep research and writing tool. Write scientific manuscripts in full paragraphs (never bullet points). Use two-stage process: (1) create section outlines with key points using research-lookup, (2) convert to flowing prose. IMRAD structure, citations (APA/AMA/Vancouver), figures/tables, reporting guidelines (CONSORT/STROBE/PRISMA), for research papers and journal submissions.

Build slide decks and presentations for research talks using Nano Banana Pro AI. Generates stunning PDF presentations with AI-generated slides. Use for conference presentations, seminar talks, thesis defense slides, or any scientific talk. Provides slide structure, design guidance, timing recommendations, and visual validation.

Conduct comprehensive, systematic literature reviews using multiple academic databases (PubMed, arXiv, bioRxiv, Semantic Scholar, etc.). This skill should be used when conducting systematic literature reviews, meta-analyses, research synthesis, or comprehensive literature searches across biomedical, scientific, and technical domains. Creates professionally formatted markdown documents and PDFs with verified citations in multiple citation styles (APA, Nature, Vancouver, etc.).

Systematic peer review toolkit. Evaluate methodology, statistics, design, reproducibility, ethics, figure integrity, reporting standards, for manuscript and grant review across disciplines.

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.

User interview techniques, persona creation, journey mapping, and research synthesis patterns. Use when planning research studies, conducting interviews, creating personas, or translating research findings into actionable design recommendations.

Interview techniques, persona creation, journey mapping, and usability testing patterns. Use when planning research, conducting user interviews, creating personas, mapping user journeys, or designing usability tests. Essential for user-research, requirements-analysis, and interaction-architecture agents.

Query the Sequence Read Archive (SRA), retrieve scientific publications, and analyze genomics metadata using the SRAgent toolkit. Supports accession conversion (GSE→SRX→SRR), BigQuery metadata queries, manuscript downloads from multiple sources, and scRNA-seq technology identification. Use when working with SRA/GEO datasets, finding publications, or analyzing single-cell sequencing experiments.

Build backend AI with Vercel AI SDK v5/v6. v6 stable introduces Output API (Output.object/array/choicereplace deprecated generateObject/streamObject), plus speech synthesis, transcription, image generation,embeddings, reranking, MCP tools, and middleware. Covers v4→v5 migration, latest models (GPT-5.2,Claude 4.x, Gemini 2.5), Workers startup fix, and 12 error solutions.Use when: implementing AI SDK v5/v6, using Output API, speech/transcription/image features, embeddings,MCP tools, migrating v4→v5, troubleshooting errors, or fixing Workers startup issues.

Systematic debugging methodology that eliminates guessing and speculation. Add instrumentation to gather specific data that fully explains the problem. Evidence before hypothesis. Observation before solution.

Process external resources into actionable knowledge with evaluation, storage, and application decisions.Triggers: knowledge intake, article evaluation, paper review, external resourceUse when: user shares links to articles, papers, or external resourcesDO NOT use when: searching existing knowledge - use knowledge-locator.

Apply systematic four-phase debugging methodology (root cause investigation, pattern analysis, hypothesis testing, implementation) that ensures thorough understanding before attempting solutions, preventing random fixes and reducing debugging time from hours to minutes. Use this skill when encountering any test failures in test suites (Jest, pytest, RSpec, JUnit, Go testing), when production bugs are reported or discovered, when code produces unexpected output or behavior different from requirements, when experiencing build failures or compilation errors, when integration tests fail due to component interaction issues, when performance problems or slowdowns are detected, when encountering race conditions, timing issues, or intermittent failures, when error messages or stack traces appear in logs or console output, when refactoring causes existing tests to fail, when you've already attempted one or more fixes that didn't resolve the issue, when deployment or CI/CD pipelines fail, when you're tempted to make a

Prepare newsletters for publication by validating format, structure, frontmatter, and content. Use when reviewing drafts before sending.

Lint content for spelling errors, en-GB compliance, and writing quality. Use when checking markdown files before publication.

Validate blog posts for quality, consistency, en-GB spelling, and ScottInk style. Use when reviewing posts before publication.

Aggregate multi-reviewer feedback into consolidated, actionable recommendations. Use when relevant to the task.

Synthesize audience insights from multiple data sources into unified personas and segments. Use when relevant to the task.
