literature-review
by brycewang-stanford
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.).
scientific-writing
by brycewang-stanford
"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."

Full-empirical-analysis-skill-R
by brycewang-stanford
Classical end-to-end empirical analysis workflow in the modern tidyverse + econometrics R ecosystem — dplyr + tidyr + haven + fixest + sandwich + lmtest + clubSandwich + AER + ivreg + did + bacondecomp + HonestDiD + eventstudyr + rdrobust + rddensity + Synth + gsynth + synthdid + MatchIt + WeightIt + cobalt + ebal + grf + DoubleML + mediation + marginaleffects + modelsummary + kableExtra + gt + ggplot2 + ggpubr + cowplot + binsreg. Defaults to economics empirical-paper style (AER / QJE / AEJ) — every run produces a publication-ready output set with a multi-column regression table (M1→M6 progressive controls/FE) as the centerpiece, plus Table 1 (descriptives), mechanism / heterogeneity / robustness tables, and event-study + coefficient + trend figures. Covers the full 8-step R pipeline an applied economist runs on every paper — (1) data import & cleaning (read_dta/read_csv, naniar, janitor, validate-merges), (2) variable construction (mutate/across/winsorize/group_by + lag/lead with dplyr), (3) descriptive statistics & Table 1 (gtsummary, modelsummary::datasummary, tableone), (4) classical diagnostic tests (shapiro/jarque.bera.test/bptest/dwtest/bgtest/vif/adf.test/kpss.test/Hausman), (5) baseline modeling (fixest::feols, ivreg, did::att_gt, eventstudyr, sun_ab, did_imputation, synthdid, rdrobust, MatchIt, WeightIt, grf::causal_forest, DoubleML, mediation), (6) robustness battery (modelsummary stack, clubSandwich CRSE, fwildclusterboot, ri2, robomit Oster, bacondecomp, HonestDiD), (7) further analysis (interactions + marginaleffects, mediation::mediate, gsem via lavaan, dose-response splines, grf CATE), (8) publication-ready tables & figures (modelsummary, kableExtra, gt, stargazer, texreg, flextable to LaTeX/Word/HTML; ggplot2 + ggpubr + cowplot + binsreg + iplot for figures). Also covers two parallel domain modes that share the same 8-step scaffolding — Mode A — Epidemiology / public health (target-trial emulation, IPTW + g-formula + TMLE doubly-robust triplet via WeightIt / gfoRmula / tmle / ltmle, Mendelian randomization via MendelianRandomization / TwoSampleMR / MRPRESSO, KM / Cox / AFT / RMST survival via survival / survminer / flexsurv, E-value sensitivity via EValue, principal stratification — STROBE / TRIPOD reporting), and Mode B — ML causal inference (DML via DoubleML, S/T/X/R/DR meta-learners via causalweight / grf, causal forest via grf::causal_forest, BART/BCF via bartCause / bcf, matrix completion via MCPanel, CATE distribution + policy tree via policytree, off-policy evaluation, conformal causal via conformalInference / cfcausal, fairness audit via fairmodels, DAG learning via pcalg / bnlearn / LLM-assisted). Use when the user asks for a complete R empirical analysis, wants a tidyverse-style reproducible R script / Quarto workflow, prefers fixest over reghdfe, needs the R counterpart to StatsPAI / 00.1 / 00.2, or names a specific R step in isolation ("feols with cluster", "MatchIt nearest neighbor", "bacondecomp in R", "gtsummary table 1", "modelsummary to Word"). Mode A triggers on "target trial emulation R", "tmle ltmle", "MendelianRandomization", "TwoSampleMR", "MRPRESSO", "survival cox AFT", "STROBE R", "EValue R", "公共健康 R", "流行病学 R". Mode B triggers on "DoubleML R", "grf causal forest", "policytree", "bartCause bcf", "conformal causal R", "fairmodels", "pcalg NOTEARS", "因果机器学习 R".

concept-diagrams
by NousResearch
Generate flat, minimal light/dark-aware SVG diagrams as standalone HTML files, using a unified educational visual language with 9 semantic color ramps, sentence-case typography, and automatic dark mode. Best suited for educational and non-software visuals — physics setups, chemistry mechanisms, math curves, physical objects (aircraft, turbines, smartphones, mechanical watches), anatomy, floor plans, cross-sections, narrative journeys (lifecycle of X, process of Y), hub-spoke system integrations (smart city, IoT), and exploded layer views. If a more specialized skill exists for the subject (dedicated software/cloud architecture, hand-drawn sketches, animated explainers, etc.), prefer that — otherwise this skill can also serve as a general-purpose SVG diagram fallback with a clean educational look. Ships with 15 example diagrams.
meme-generation
by NousResearch

nature-paper2ppt
by Yuan1z0825
Build a complete Nature-style Chinese PPTX presentation from a scientific paper, preprint, PDF, article text, figure legends, or reading notes. Use for journal club, group meeting, thesis seminar, paper sharing, conference or defense decks, and Chinese requests such as 论文做PPT、论文汇报、组会PPT、文献汇报、学术汇报、做幻灯片、读书报告PPT. It classifies paper type, builds an evidence-led story, selects key figures, writes Chinese slide content and speaker notes, creates the actual .pptx, and runs corrective QA for complete figure crops, stable alignment, text overflow, and de-templated Chinese academic expression. Also trigger when improving weak paper-to-PPT output with cropped figures, loose alignment, obvious AI-style wording, or heavy manual rework.
nature-figure
by Yuan1z0825
Create, revise, audit, and export submission-grade scientific figures for Nature-family and other high-impact venues in Python (matplotlib/seaborn) or R (ggplot2/patchwork/ComplexHeatmap), including multi-panel plots, figures4papers-style work, and journal-ready SVG/PDF/TIFF outputs. Use for paper or scientific plots, manuscript data visualization, 论文配图、学术写作配图、科研绘图、科研作图、画图、作图、出图、论文图表、可视化. Define the conclusion, evidence logic, data integrity, template compatibility, export needs, and reviewer risks before plotting; honor or persist the Python/R backend choice. Also use the separate OpenRouter GPT Image 2 route for explicit AI-generated graphical abstracts, mechanism diagrams, concept schematics, 论文示意图、机制示意图、图形摘要; this route skips backend choice and treats outputs as drafts. Do not use for interactive dashboards, statistics-only analysis, data cleaning, literature review, code debugging, pure photo editing, or Illustrator/Figma-first infographics without manuscript-figure intent.
