scientific-problem-selection
by anthropics
This skill should be used when scientists need help with research problem selection, project ideation, troubleshooting stuck projects, or strategic scientific decisions. Use this skill when users ask to pitch a new research idea, work through a project problem, evaluate project risks, plan research strategy, navigate decision trees, or get help choosing what scientific problem to work on. Typical requests include "I have an idea for a project", "I'm stuck on my research", "help me evaluate this project", "what should I work on", or "I need strategic advice about my research".

sd-literature-map
by platypeeps
Use when the user wants a source-traceable map of a field's schools, methods, works, relationships, disputes, gaps, and reading paths without a flattened narrative review.
sd-paper
by platypeeps
Use when the user wants to develop a credible research paper through question refinement, an approved research brief, explicit literature and methodology protocols, traceable evidence, reproducibility, and venue-aware review.
scientific-writing
by trimcrae
Write and revise this repository's submission texts so a working scientist can read them once and follow them. Load BEFORE drafting or revising any manuscript, SI, cover letter or abstract that will go to a preprint server, a journal or aiXiv, and before applying a hardening round's findings to prose. Covers the four moves that carry almost all the gain (topic and stress positions, characters as subjects, actions as verbs, one sentence one idea), the revision pass that finds the damage, and the two failure modes that make a "clearer" paper worse — a hedge quietly dropped to shorten a sentence, and a readability score chased as a target. Metrics are a SCREEN that says where to look, never a measure of whether the prose is good; lint_readability.py reports, this file decides.
tooluniverse-install-skills
by mims-harvard
Detect and auto-install missing ToolUniverse research skills by checking common client skill directories and cloning from GitHub if absent. Use when ToolUniverse specialized skills are not installed, when setting up a new project, or when the tooluniverse router skill needs to bootstrap its sub-skills before routing.
tooluniverse-literature-deep-research
by mims-harvard
Conduct comprehensive literature research with target disambiguation, evidence grading, and structured theme extraction. Creates a detailed report with mandatory completeness checklist, biological model synthesis, and testable hypotheses. For biological targets, resolves official IDs (Ensembl/UniProt), synonyms, naming collisions, and gathers expression/pathway context before literature search. Default deliverable is a report file; for single factoid questions, uses a fast verification mode and may include an inline answer. Use when users need thorough literature reviews, target profiles, or to verify specific claims from the literature.
