Creating algorithmic art using p5.js with seeded randomness and interactive parameter exploration. Use this when users request creating art using code, generative art, algorithmic art, flow fields, or particle systems. Create original algorithmic art rather than copying existing artists' work to avoid copyright violations.

Knowledge and utilities for creating animated GIFs optimized for Slack. Provides constraints, validation tools, and animation concepts. Use when users request animated GIFs for Slack like "make me a GIF of X doing Y for Slack."

Applies Anthropic's official brand colors and typography to any sort of artifact that may benefit from having Anthropic's look-and-feel. Use it when brand colors or style guidelines, visual formatting, or company design standards apply.

Combine vector and keyword search for improved retrieval. Use when implementing RAG systems, building search engines, or when neither approach alone provides sufficient recall.

Efficient database search tool for bioRxiv preprint server. Use this skill when searching for life sciences preprints by keywords, authors, date ranges, or categories, retrieving paper metadata, downloading PDFs, or conducting literature reviews.

Build slide decks and presentations for research talks. Use this for making PowerPoint slides, conference presentations, seminar talks, research presentations, thesis defense slides, or any scientific talk. Provides slide structure, design templates, timing guidance, and visual validation. Works with PowerPoint and LaTeX Beamer.

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.

Generate or edit images using AI models (FLUX, Gemini). Use for general-purpose image generation including photos, illustrations, artwork, visual assets, concept art, and any image that isn't a technical diagram or schematic. For flowcharts, circuits, pathways, and technical diagrams, use the scientific-schematics skill instead.

Use this skill when working with symbolic mathematics in Python. This skill should be used for symbolic computation tasks including solving equations algebraically, performing calculus operations (derivatives, integrals, limits), manipulating algebraic expressions, working with matrices symbolically, physics calculations, number theory problems, geometry computations, and generating executable code from mathematical expressions. Apply this skill when the user needs exact symbolic results rather than numerical approximations, or when working with mathematical formulas that contain variables and parameters.

Research ideation partner. Generate hypotheses, explore interdisciplinary connections, challenge assumptions, develop methodologies, identify research gaps, for creative scientific problem-solving.

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.

Automated hypothesis generation and testing using large language models. Use this skill when generating scientific hypotheses from datasets, combining literature insights with empirical data, testing hypotheses against observational data, or conducting systematic hypothesis exploration for research discovery in domains like deception detection, AI content detection, mental health analysis, or other empirical research tasks.

This skill should be used when converting academic papers into promotional and presentation formats including interactive websites (Paper2Web), presentation videos (Paper2Video), and conference posters (Paper2Poster). Use this skill for tasks involving paper dissemination, conference preparation, creating explorable academic homepages, generating video abstracts, or producing print-ready posters from LaTeX or PDF sources.

A skill that makes a kebab for the user.

This skill enriches vague prompts with targeted research and clarification before execution. Should be used when a prompt is determined to be vague and requires systematic research, question generation, and execution guidance.

Analyzes codebases to understand structure, tech stack, patterns, and conventions. Use when onboarding to a new project, exploring unfamiliar code, or when asked "how does this work?" or "what's the architecture?"

Architecture Diagram Creator - Auto-activating skill for Visual Content.Triggers on: architecture diagram creator, architecture diagram creatorPart of the Visual Content skill category.

Generate software copyright design specification documents compliant with China Copyright Protection Center (CPCC) standards. Creates complete design documents with Mermaid diagrams based on source code analysis. Use for software copyright registration, generating design specification, creating CPCC-compliant documents, or documenting software for intellectual property protection. Triggers on "软件著作权", "设计说明书", "版权登记", "CPCC", "软著申请".

Create research posters using HTML/CSS that can be exported to PDF or PPTX. Use this skill ONLY when the user explicitly requests PowerPoint/PPTX poster format. For standard research posters, use latex-posters instead. This skill provides modern web-based poster design with responsive layouts and easy visual integration.
