perplexity-search
Perform AI-powered web searches with real-time information using Perplexity models via LiteLLM and OpenRouter. This skill should be used when conducting web searches for current information, finding recent scientific literature, getting grounded answers with source citations, or accessing information beyond the model's knowledge cutoff. Provides access to multiple Perplexity models including Sonar Pro, Sonar Pro Search (advanced agentic search), and Sonar Reasoning Pro through a single OpenRouter API key.
research-lookup
Look up current research information using Perplexity's Sonar Pro Search or Sonar Reasoning Pro models through OpenRouter. Automatically selects the best model based on query complexity. Search academic papers, recent studies, technical documentation, and general research information with citations.
peer-review
Systematic peer review toolkit. Evaluate methodology, statistics, design, reproducibility, ethics, figure integrity, reporting standards, for manuscript and grant review across disciplines.
treatment-plans
Generate concise (3-4 page), focused medical treatment plans in LaTeX/PDF format for all clinical specialties. Supports general medical treatment, rehabilitation therapy, mental health care, chronic disease management, perioperative care, and pain management. Includes SMART goal frameworks, evidence-based interventions with minimal text citations, regulatory compliance (HIPAA), and professional formatting. Prioritizes brevity and clinical actionability.
matplotlib
Foundational plotting library. Create line plots, scatter, bar, histograms, heatmaps, 3D, subplots, export PNG/PDF/SVG, for scientific visualization and publication figures.
scikit-learn
Machine learning in Python with scikit-learn. Use when working with supervised learning (classification, regression), unsupervised learning (clustering, dimensionality reduction), model evaluation, hyperparameter tuning, preprocessing, or building ML pipelines. Provides comprehensive reference documentation for algorithms, preprocessing techniques, pipelines, and best practices.
biopython
Primary Python toolkit for molecular biology. Preferred for Python-based PubMed/NCBI queries (Bio.Entrez), sequence manipulation, file parsing (FASTA, GenBank, FASTQ, PDB), advanced BLAST workflows, structures, phylogenetics. For quick BLAST, use gget. For direct REST API, use pubmed-database.
uspto-database
Access USPTO APIs for patent/trademark searches, examination history (PEDS), assignments, citations, office actions, TSDR, for IP analysis and prior art searches.
zapier-workflows
Manage and trigger pre-built Zapier workflows and MCP tool orchestration. Use when user mentions workflows, Zaps, automations, daily digest, research, search, lead tracking, expenses, or asks to "run" any process. Also handles Perplexity-based research and Google Sheets data tracking.
ensembl-database
Query Ensembl genome database REST API for 250+ species. Gene lookups, sequence retrieval, variant analysis, comparative genomics, orthologs, VEP predictions, for genomic research.
scientific-critical-thinking
Evaluate research rigor. Assess methodology, experimental design, statistical validity, biases, confounding, evidence quality (GRADE, Cochrane ROB), for critical analysis of scientific claims.
clinicaltrials-database
Query ClinicalTrials.gov via API v2. Search trials by condition, drug, location, status, or phase. Retrieve trial details by NCT ID, export data, for clinical research and patient matching.
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.
networkx
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.
scientific-visualization
Create publication figures with matplotlib/seaborn/plotly. Multi-panel layouts, error bars, significance markers, colorblind-safe, export PDF/EPS/TIFF, for journal-ready scientific plots.
scientific-writing
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.
denario
Multiagent AI system for scientific research assistance that automates research workflows from data analysis to publication. This skill should be used when generating research ideas from datasets, developing research methodologies, executing computational experiments, performing literature searches, or generating publication-ready papers in LaTeX format. Supports end-to-end research pipelines with customizable agent orchestration.
notion-research-documentation
Research across Notion and synthesize into structured documentation; use when gathering info from multiple Notion sources to produce briefs, comparisons, or reports with citations.
stable-baselines3
Use this skill for reinforcement learning tasks including training RL agents (PPO, SAC, DQN, TD3, DDPG, A2C, etc.), creating custom Gym environments, implementing callbacks for monitoring and control, using vectorized environments for parallel training, and integrating with deep RL workflows. This skill should be used when users request RL algorithm implementation, agent training, environment design, or RL experimentation.
brenda-database
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.
