memory-catcher
Extract learnings from completed swarm work for persistent memory storage. Analyzes swarm_record_outcome data to identify corrections, decisions, and insights. Stores findings in Memory Lane for future reference. Use when subtasks complete with notable learnings or when you want to capture what worked/didn't work.
open-deep-research-team
Sophisticated multi-agent AI research system that conducts comprehensive, academic-quality research on complex topics through orchestrated specialist agents. Use for deep research requiring academic, technical, and data-driven perspectives with quality assurance and comprehensive reporting.
knowledge-synthesis
Synthesize knowledge from multiple sources into Zettelkasten notes for Logseq. Use when creating wiki pages, integrating academic research, or building interconnected knowledge with [[links]] and
zotero-paper-reader
Read and analyze academic papers from Zotero library. Use when the user requests to read, access, or analyze a paper by title, author, or topic from their Zotero library. Automatically searches Zotero, converts PDFs to markdown, saves to Notes/PaperInMarkdown, and provides analysis.
sequential-thinking
Apply structured, reflective problem-solving for complex tasks requiring multi-step analysis, revision capability, and hypothesis verification. Use for complex problem decomposition, adaptive planning, analysis needing course correction, problems with unclear scope, multi-step solutions, and hypothesis-driven work.
data-extraction
Use when extracting structured data from medical research PDFs, parsing study characteristics, patient demographics, outcomes, and results. Invoke for systematic review data collection from papers.
presentation-graphics
Generate images for Quarto presentations using Gemini image generation (nano-banana).Creates title backgrounds, concept visuals, and section dividers optimized foracademic presentations with DHEPLab branding.
photo-composition-critic
Expert photography composition critic grounded in graduate-level visual aesthetics education, computational aesthetics research (AVA, NIMA, LAION-Aesthetics, VisualQuality-R1), and professional image analysis with custom tooling. Use for image quality assessment, composition analysis, aesthetic scoring, photo critique. Activate on "photo critique", "composition analysis", "image aesthetics", "NIMA", "AVA dataset", "visual quality". NOT for photo editing/retouching (use native-app-designer), generating images (use Stability AI directly), or basic image processing (use clip-aware-embeddings).
paper-reviewer
Expert academic paper review including summary, methodology critique, and practical implications
dheplab-website
DHEPLab academic website management. Content creation, publication sync,Substack integration, and deployment for the Astro 5 + Tailwind 4 site.USE WHEN user says 'website', 'dheplab site', 'lab website', 'add to website','sync publications', 'sync substack', 'deploy site', 'preview build','create blog post', 'add team member', 'update research area'.
smalltalk-implementation-finder
Method implementation finder and analyzer for Pharo Smalltalk. Provides expertise in discovering implementors across class hierarchies (search_implementors), analyzing implementation patterns, learning coding idioms from existing implementations, assessing refactoring impact (counting implementors and references), finding duplicate code for consolidation, understanding abstract method implementations (subclassResponsibility), and tracing method overrides through inheritance chains. Use when analyzing method implementations across classes, learning implementation idioms, assessing refactoring risk before changes, finding duplicate implementations for consolidation, understanding how abstract methods are implemented in concrete classes, or tracing which classes override specific methods.
flashcards-generator
Generate neat, clean flashcards in markdown table format from a topic title or reference file. Use when you need to create study materials, review cards, or learning aids for any subject.
learning-research-designer
research-designer for evidence-based learning research and evaluation.
tech-translator
This skill should be used when users need to translate technical documents, API documentation, academic papers, or any technical content while preserving technical accuracy and terminology. It specializes in maintaining technical rigor while ensuring readability in the target language.
memory-catcher
Post-session analysis agent that extracts learnings, decisions, user preferences, and "surprise moments" from conversation transcripts. Stores insights in Memory Lane with vector embeddings for future retrieval.
academic-task-planner
Transform academic course assignment PDFs into structured, actionable markdown checklists with dates, unique IDs, and custom tags. Asks when the user will start, assigns tasks only to weekdays (Monday-Friday), respects weekends automatically, and calculates forum deadlines 3 days before due date. Use this skill when the user uploads academic PDFs or asks to create a task plan from course assignments.
learning-mode
Activates when user is learning, studying, or exploring concepts rather than executing work tasks.TRIGGER when user says: "learn", "understand", "explain", "how does X work", "teach me","walk me through", "I want to figure out", "study", "what's the concept behind", or isworking through books, papers, tutorials, or explicitly mentions being in a learning project.Also triggers for: working on emulator project, syscall implementations, or anything inthe learning repos.DO NOT trigger for: "fix this", "implement this quickly", "just do it", work tickets,debugging production issues, "I need this done", time-pressured requests, or when userprovides a complete spec and just wants execution.
synthesis-matrix
Create evidence synthesis matrices for systematic reviews. Use when: (1) Organizing extracted data, (2) Comparing study characteristics, (3) Identifying patterns across studies, (4) Preparing synthesis for manuscripts.
skill-authoring
Guide for authoring effective skills. Use when creating, building, updating, designing, packaging, reviewing, evaluating, or improving skills that extend Claude's capabilities with specialized knowledge, workflows, or tool integrations. Helps with skill structure, SKILL.md frontmatter, progressive disclosure, resource organization (scripts/assets/reference files), initialization templates, validation, and packaging. Also triggers when asking how to create a skill, what makes a good skill, learning about skill development, or troubleshooting skill issues. Includes proven design patterns for workflows and output quality.
bjw-voice-modeling
Capture Bennett Waxse's writing voice for technical communication, LinkedIn posts, research discussions, and professional correspondence. Use when drafting content that should sound like Bennett, including: (1) Research paper discussions or LinkedIn posts about academic work, (2) Technical emails to collaborators, (3) Professional communications that need his specific tone and style, (4) Any writing where maintaining his authentic voice matters.
