Browse reusable Agent Skills, each with a clear purpose and practical guidance.
Orchestrate the full ToolUniverse self-improvement cycle: discover APIs, create tools, test with researcher personas, fix issues, optimize skills, and push via git. References and dispatches to all other devtu skills. Use when asked to: run the self-improvement loop, do a debug/test round, expand tool coverage, improve tool quality, or evolve ToolUniverse.
Create high-quality ToolUniverse skills following test-driven, implementation-agnostic methodology.
Install and configure ToolUniverse for any use case — MCP server (chat-based), CLI (command line with 9 subcommands), or Python SDK (Coding API with 3 calling patterns). Covers uv/uvx setup, MCP configuration for 12+ AI clients (Cursor, Claude Desktop, Windsurf, VS Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, Trae, Cline, etc.), full CLI reference (tu list/grep/find/info/run/test/status/build/serve), Coding API quickstart, agentic tools, code executor, API key walkthrough, skill installation, and upgrading. Use when user asks how to set up ToolUniverse, which access mode to use (MCP vs CLI vs SDK), configuring MCP servers, using the CLI, troubleshooting installation, upgrading, or mentions installing ToolUniverse or setting up scientific tools. Also triggers for "how do I use ToolUniverse", "what's the best way to access tools", "command line", "tu command", "coding API", "tu build".
Install the ToolUniverse Claude Code plugin in one step — provides MCP server with 1000+ scientific tools, 120+ research skills, slash commands, hooks, and the research agent. Use for first-time plugin install, troubleshooting plugin not loading, verifying MCP server connection, listing API key requirements, or configuring auto-update.
Detect and auto-install missing ToolUniverse research skills. Checks common Claude Code/Cursor/Codex skill directories for the canary file, and installs any missing skills if none found. Use when the plugin's research skills aren't loading, when migrating between clients, or when verifying a skill installation.
Build AI scientist systems with the ToolUniverse Python SDK for scientific research. Covers the 3 calling patterns (`tu.run` portable dict API, `tu.tools.X` function API, direct class instantiation), tool loading, batch execution, MCP server integration, and embedding-based tool search. Use for SDK programming, custom tool composition, benchmarking pipelines, and integrating ToolUniverse into research workflows.
AI DevKit · Exchange information with active Codex, Claude Code, and other AI agents using ai-devkit agent list, detail, and send. Use when an agent needs to find another active agent, read its recent context, send it information, or request information back.
AI DevKit · Manage running AI agents with ai-devkit agent commands. Use when an agent needs to identify itself, list agents, start workers, inspect agent detail, assign work, group agents, resume sessions, stop agents, or delegate work to other agents.
Use when adding a new agent harness (CLI-based coding agent) adapter to adapters. Covers capability audit, adapter scaffold, session parsing, auth detection, hooks/plugins wiring, tests, and docs.
