Development

Microscopy data management platform. Access images via Python, retrieve datasets, analyze pixels, manage ROIs/annotations, batch processing, for high-content screening and microscopy workflows.

Comprehensive backend development skill for building scalable backend systems using NodeJS, Express, Go, Python, Postgres, GraphQL, REST APIs. Includes API scaffolding, database optimization, security implementation, and performance tuning. Use when designing APIs, optimizing database queries, implementing business logic, handling authentication/authorization, or reviewing backend code.

Inspect GitHub PR checks with gh, pull failing GitHub Actions logs, summarize failure context, then create a fix plan and implement after user approval. Use when a user asks to debug or fix failing PR CI/CD checks on GitHub Actions and wants a plan + code changes; for external checks (e.g., Buildkite), only report the details URL and mark them out of scope.

Comprehensive toolkit for creating, analyzing, and visualizing complex networks and graphs in Python. Use when working with network/graph data structures, analyzing relationships between entities, computing graph algorithms (shortest paths, centrality, clustering), detecting communities, generating synthetic networks, or visualizing network topologies. Applicable to social networks, biological networks, transportation systems, citation networks, and any domain involving pairwise relationships.

Direct REST API access to KEGG (academic use only). Pathway analysis, gene-pathway mapping, metabolic pathways, drug interactions, ID conversion. For Python workflows with multiple databases, prefer bioservices. Use this for direct HTTP/REST work or KEGG-specific control.

Computational pathology toolkit for analyzing whole-slide images (WSI) and multiparametric imaging data. Use this skill when working with histopathology slides, H&E stained images, multiplex immunofluorescence (CODEX, Vectra), spatial proteomics, nucleus detection/segmentation, tissue graph construction, or training ML models on pathology data. Supports 160+ slide formats including Aperio SVS, NDPI, DICOM, OME-TIFF for digital pathology workflows.

Run Python code in the cloud with serverless containers, GPUs, and autoscaling. Use when deploying ML models, running batch processing jobs, scheduling compute-intensive tasks, or serving APIs that require GPU acceleration or dynamic scaling.

This skill should be used when working with single-cell omics data analysis using scvi-tools, including scRNA-seq, scATAC-seq, CITE-seq, spatial transcriptomics, and other single-cell modalities. Use this skill for probabilistic modeling, batch correction, dimensionality reduction, differential expression, cell type annotation, multimodal integration, and spatial analysis tasks.

Comprehensive frontend development skill for building modern, performant web applications using ReactJS, NextJS, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS. Includes component scaffolding, performance optimization, bundle analysis, and UI best practices. Use when developing frontend features, optimizing performance, implementing UI/UX designs, managing state, or reviewing frontend code.

Query CZ CELLxGENE Census (61M+ cells). Filter by cell type/tissue/disease, retrieve expression data, integrate with scanpy/PyTorch, for population-scale single-cell analysis.

Fast DataFrame library (Apache Arrow). Select, filter, group_by, joins, lazy evaluation, CSV/Parquet I/O, expression API, for high-performance data analysis workflows.

Access BRENDA enzyme database via SOAP API. Retrieve kinetic parameters (Km, kcat), reaction equations, organism data, and substrate-specific enzyme information for biochemical research and metabolic pathway analysis.

Constraint-based metabolic modeling (COBRA). FBA, FVA, gene knockouts, flux sampling, SBML models, for systems biology and metabolic engineering analysis.

World-class data engineering skill for building scalable data pipelines, ETL/ELT systems, and data infrastructure. Expertise in Python, SQL, Spark, Airflow, dbt, Kafka, and modern data stack. Includes data modeling, pipeline orchestration, data quality, and DataOps. Use when designing data architectures, building data pipelines, optimizing data workflows, or implementing data governance.

This skill should be used for time series machine learning tasks including classification, regression, clustering, forecasting, anomaly detection, segmentation, and similarity search. Use when working with temporal data, sequential patterns, or time-indexed observations requiring specialized algorithms beyond standard ML approaches. Particularly suited for univariate and multivariate time series analysis with scikit-learn compatible APIs.

Comprehensive SecOps skill for application security, vulnerability management, compliance, and secure development practices. Includes security scanning, vulnerability assessment, compliance checking, and security automation. Use when implementing security controls, conducting security audits, responding to vulnerabilities, or ensuring compliance requirements.

Use when receiving code review feedback, before implementing suggestions, especially if feedback seems unclear or technically questionable - requires technical rigor and verification, not performative agreement or blind implementation

Comprehensive toolkit for protein language models including ESM3 (generative multimodal protein design across sequence, structure, and function) and ESM C (efficient protein embeddings and representations). Use this skill when working with protein sequences, structures, or function prediction; designing novel proteins; generating protein embeddings; performing inverse folding; or conducting protein engineering tasks. Supports both local model usage and cloud-based Forge API for scalable inference.

This skill should be used when working with genomic interval data (BED files) for machine learning tasks. Use for training region embeddings (Region2Vec, BEDspace), single-cell ATAC-seq analysis (scEmbed), building consensus peaks (universes), or any ML-based analysis of genomic regions. Applies to BED file collections, scATAC-seq data, chromatin accessibility datasets, and region-based genomic feature learning.

Primary Python tool for 40+ bioinformatics services. Preferred for multi-database workflows: UniProt, KEGG, ChEMBL, PubChem, Reactome, QuickGO. Unified API for queries, ID mapping, pathway analysis. For direct REST control, use individual database skills (uniprot-database, kegg-database).
