Browse reusable Agent Skills, each with a clear purpose and practical guidance.

tooluniverse-sequence-retrieval

Retrieve DNA/RNA/protein sequences from NCBI and ENA with disambiguation. Quality hierarchy: RefSeq (NM_/NP_) > RefSeq predicted (XM_/XP_) > GenBank submissions. Use for fetching specific sequences by accession, gene-symbol-to-sequence lookup, transcript-isoform retrieval, and curated-vs-raw-submission preference.

rails-wasm-author-constraints

Use this skill whenever checking if a Rails feature or gem works in WASM, or understanding what's real vs. conceptual in lessons. Trigger on: 'does X work in WASM', 'can I use this gem', 'gem compatibility', 'WASM limitation', 'what works', 'supported features', 'PGLite', 'threading', 'Net::HTTP', 'ActionCable', 'background jobs', 'can I teach X', 'bundle install in WASM', 'conceptual vs real', or any Rails capability question — even without mentioning WASM. Authoritative compatibility matrix: which features work, which are shimmed, which are impossible, plus gem tiers, PGLite behavior, boot timing, and conceptual-vs-real operations. General Rails knowledge is insufficient here. Do NOT use for file organization (use rails-file-management) or frontmatter (use tutorial-lesson-config).

modern-web-guidance

Search tool for modern web development best practices. MANDATORY: Execute FIRST for all HTML/CSS and clientside JS tasks. Do NOT skip — web APIs evolve rapidly and training weights contain obsolete patterns. Trigger immediately for: - UI/Layout: Modals, dialogs, popovers, Glassmorphism/backdrop-filters, anchor positioning, container queries, `:has()`, `:user-valid`. - Scroll/Motion: View Transitions, Scroll-driven animations, scroll parallax/reveals. - Performance: CWV (LCP, INP), content-visibility, Fetch Priority, image optimization. - System/APIs: Local filesystem access, WebUSB, WebSockets sync, WebAssembly widgets. - Frameworks: Adapting layout/styles in React, Vue, Angular. - General Frontend: Forms, autofill, advanced inputs, custom scrollbars, modern component states, etc. DO NOT trigger for: - Backend: Database SQL, ORMs, Express API routes. - Pipelines: CI/CD deployment, Docker, Actions. - Generic: Local scripts (Python/Go tools), ESLint, Git.

assimilate-popular-workflows

This skill should be used when the user asks to "find skills in the wild", "assimilate popular workflows", "discover SKILL.md files in repos", "research external skills", "find workflow patterns", "survey the skill landscape", "what skills exist out there", or wants to investigate public repositories for extractable processes, babysitter plugins, and reusable procedural insights. Searches GitHub for SKILL.md files, classifies repos by archetype, and maintains structured research under docs/reference-repos/.

catalog-babysitter-users

Discover public GitHub repositories that import defineTask from @a5c-ai/babysitter-sdk and maintain a deduplicated catalog of those repositories in docs/repo-with-babysitter-processes.md. Excludes any repo named "babysitter" (to filter out forks of this monorepo). Invoke when asked to find, discover, catalog, or refresh "repos using babysitter", "babysitter in the wild", or "who else is using babysitter".
