5624 skills in Documentation > Technical Writing
scientific-writing
Write scientific manuscripts. IMRAD structure, citations (APA/AMA/Vancouver), figures/tables, reporting guidelines (CONSORT/STROBE/PRISMA), abstracts, for research papers and journal submissions.
scholar-evaluation
Systematic framework for evaluating scholarly and research work based on the ScholarEval methodology. This skill should be used when assessing research papers, evaluating literature reviews, scoring research methodologies, analyzing scientific writing quality, or applying structured evaluation criteria to academic work. Provides comprehensive assessment across multiple dimensions including problem formulation, literature review, methodology, data collection, analysis, results interpretation, and scholarly writing quality.
literature-review
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.).
ast-grep
Guide for writing ast-grep rules to perform structural code search and analysis. Use when users need to search codebases using Abstract Syntax Tree (AST) patterns, find specific code structures, or perform complex code queries that go beyond simple text search. This skill should be used when users ask to search for code patterns, find specific language constructs, or locate code with particular structural characteristics.
Unnamed Skill
Context-efficient codebase exploration using AST analysis. Use when exploring Kosmos architecture, understanding code structure, or preparing documentation for AI programmers. Triggers: xray, map structure, skeleton, interface, architecture, explore kosmos, warm start, token budget, context compression.
citation-management
Comprehensive citation management for academic research. Search Google Scholar and PubMed for papers, extract accurate metadata, validate citations, and generate properly formatted BibTeX entries. This skill should be used when you need to find papers, verify citation information, convert DOIs to BibTeX, or ensure reference accuracy in scientific writing.
markitdown
Convert various file formats (PDF, Office documents, images, audio, web content, structured data) to Markdown optimized for LLM processing. Use when converting documents to markdown, extracting text from PDFs/Office files, transcribing audio, performing OCR on images, extracting YouTube transcripts, or processing batches of files. Supports 20+ formats including DOCX, XLSX, PPTX, PDF, HTML, EPUB, CSV, JSON, images with OCR, and audio with transcription.
readme-generator
This skill should be used when users want to create or improve README.md files for their projects. It generates professional documentation following the Deep Insight/Strands SDK style - comprehensive yet focused, with clear structure and practical examples.
system-prompt-writer
This skill should be used when writing or improving system prompts for AI agents, providing expert guidance based on Anthropic's context engineering principles.
nix-lib-usage
Nix library usage patterns: with, inherit, and inline lib. prefixes. Use when deciding how to access lib functions, avoiding the with lib anti-pattern, or writing analysis-friendly Nix code.
nix-conditionals
Nix conditional patterns: mkIf, optionals, optionalString, mkMerge. Use when writing conditional configuration, avoiding if-then-else, or combining multiple conditional blocks.
Unnamed Skill
Generates clear commit messages from Git diffs. Use when writing commit messages or reviewing staged changes.
datasette-plugin-writer
Guide for writing Datasette plugins. This skill should be used when users want to create or develop plugins for Datasette, including information about plugin hooks, the cookiecutter template, database APIs, request/response handling, and plugin configuration.
plugin-settings
This skill should be used when the user asks about "plugin settings", "store plugin configuration", "user-configurable plugin", ".local.md files", "plugin state files", "read YAML frontmatter", "per-project plugin settings", or wants to make plugin behavior configurable. Documents the .claude/plugin-name.local.md pattern for storing plugin-specific configuration with YAML frontmatter and markdown content.
ark-documentation
Guidance for structuring Ark documentation using the Diataxis framework. Use this skill when creating new docs, deciding where content belongs, reviewing documentation PRs, or restructuring existing documentation.
implementation-planner
Create detailed implementation plans through an interactive process with research, code snippets, and structured deliverables. Use this skill when planning significant features, refactoring tasks, or complex implementations that require thorough analysis and structured documentation. The skill guides through context gathering, research, design decisions, and generates comprehensive plans with test strategies and success criteria.
go-dev-guidelines
This skill should be used when writing, refactoring, or testing Go code. It provides idiomatic Go development patterns, TDD-based workflows, project structure conventions, and testing best practices using testify/require and mockery. Activate this skill when creating new Go features, services, packages, tests, or when setting up new Go projects.
infographic-generator
Generate retro arcade style infographic prompts for documentation pages
Testing Writing Guidelines
Write focused tests for core user flows and critical paths with clear test names, behavior-focused assertions, mocked external dependencies, and fast execution, deferring edge case testing until explicitly required. Use this skill when creating or modifying test files, writing unit tests, integration tests, or test cases for any feature. Apply when writing test files (test/, __tests__/, spec/, .test.js, .spec.ts, test_*.py), implementing tests for core user workflows, testing critical business logic, mocking external dependencies (databases, APIs, file systems), writing descriptive test names, creating fast-running unit tests, or adding tests at logical completion points of feature development. Use for any task involving test creation, test coverage, test strategy, or test-driven development.
Backend Python Standards
Apply Python tooling standards including uv package management, pytest testing, ruff/mypy code quality, one-line docstrings, and self-documenting code practices. Use this skill when working with Python backend code, managing dependencies, running tests, or ensuring code quality. Apply when installing packages, writing tests, formatting code, type checking, adding docstrings, organizing imports, or deciding whether to create new files vs. extending existing ones. Use for any Python development task requiring adherence to tooling standards and best practices.
