Agent Skills Directory

Apply statistical methods including descriptive stats, trend analysis, outlier detection, and hypothesis testing. Use when analyzing distributions, testing for significance, detecting anomalies, computing correlations, or interpreting statistical results.

Write correct, performant SQL across all major data warehouse dialects (Snowflake, BigQuery, Databricks, PostgreSQL, etc.). Use when writing queries, optimizing slow SQL, translating between dialects, or building complex analytical queries with CTEs, window functions, or aggregations.

Convert laboratory instrument output files (PDF, CSV, Excel, TXT) to Allotrope Simple Model (ASM) JSON format or flattened 2D CSV. Use this skill when scientists need to standardize instrument data for LIMS systems, data lakes, or downstream analysis. Supports auto-detection of instrument types. Outputs include full ASM JSON, flattened CSV for easy import, and exportable Python code for data engineers. Common triggers include converting instrument files, standardizing lab data, preparing data for upload to LIMS/ELN systems, or generating parser code for production pipelines.

Incident Commander Skill

Plan a sprint — scope work, estimate capacity, set goals, and draft a sprint plan. Use when kicking off a new sprint, sizing a backlog against team availability (accounting for PTO and meetings), deciding what's P0 vs. stretch, or handling carryover from the last sprint.

This skill should be used when scientists need help with research problem selection, project ideation, troubleshooting stuck projects, or strategic scientific decisions. Use this skill when users ask to pitch a new research idea, work through a project problem, evaluate project risks, plan research strategy, navigate decision trees, or get help choosing what scientific problem to work on. Typical requests include "I have an idea for a project", "I'm stuck on my research", "help me evaluate this project", "what should I work on", or "I need strategic advice about my research".

Profile and explore a dataset to understand its shape, quality, and patterns. Use when encountering a new table or file, checking null rates and column distributions, spotting data quality issues like duplicates or suspicious values, or deciding which dimensions and metrics to analyze.

Email Template Builder

Performs quality control on single-cell RNA-seq data (.h5ad or .h5 files) using scverse best practices with MAD-based filtering and comprehensive visualizations. Use when users request QC analysis, filtering low-quality cells, assessing data quality, or following scverse/scanpy best practices for single-cell analysis.

Set up your bio-research environment and explore available tools. Use when first getting oriented with the plugin, checking which literature, drug-discovery, or visualization MCP servers are connected, or surveying available analysis skills before starting a new project.

Answer data questions -- from quick lookups to full analyses. Use when looking up a single metric, investigating what's driving a trend or drop, comparing segments over time, or preparing a formal data report for stakeholders.

Run nf-core bioinformatics pipelines (rnaseq, sarek, atacseq) on sequencing data. Use when analyzing RNA-seq, WGS/WES, or ATAC-seq data—either local FASTQs or public datasets from GEO/SRA. Triggers on nf-core, Nextflow, FASTQ analysis, variant calling, gene expression, differential expression, GEO reanalysis, GSE/GSM/SRR accessions, or samplesheet creation.
