Research skills

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

arxiv-database

Search and retrieve scientific preprints from arXiv; use it when you need to find papers by keyword/author/category, fetch metadata (abstract, DOI, PDF URL), or download PDFs for offline reading.

baseline-extraction-for-clinical-trials

Extracts clinical trial baseline data (study, region, participants, etc.) from article text or PMID. Checks PubMed for metadata; always falls back to LLM extraction for full details.

basic-discovery-translational-opportunity-finder

Finds translational opportunities that connect basic-research discoveries to clinically meaningful use cases such as diagnosis, stratification, prognosis, treatment response prediction, monitoring, or therapeutic development. Use this skill when a user wants to turn a mechanism finding, pathway signal, cellular phenotype, experimental observation, or omics discovery into a stronger translational research direction. Always separate mechanistic relevance from translational usability, and never present a basic finding as clinically actionable unless the evidence supports that level.

basic-research-design

A biomedical research topic designer that generates progressive experimental subtitles and detailed research outlines based on a given subject. Use when the user wants to design a research proposal, outline experiments for a topic, or structure a biomedical study.

bidirectional-multi-phenotype-mr-research-planner

Generates complete bidirectional multi-phenotype Mendelian randomization research designs from a user-provided exposure family and outcome family. Always use this skill whenever a user wants to design, plan, or build a genome-wide causal-inference study based on publicly available GWAS summary statistics, especially when the article logic includes multiple exposures, multiple outcomes or subtypes, bidirectional MR, IV filtering, IVW as the main estimator, weighted median / MR-Egger / MR-PRESSO sensitivity analyses, leave-one-out testing, heterogeneity / pleiotropy checks, and multiple-testing control with FDR. Covers five study patterns (single-family bidirectional MR, multi-phenotype screening MR, subtype-resolved MR, phenome-style bidirectional causal map, mechanism-prioritized MR follow-up) and always outputs four workload configs (Lite / Standard / Advanced / Publication+) with recommended primary plan, step-by-step workflow, figure plan, validation strategy, minimal executable version...

biogrid-orcs

Accesses BioGRID ORCS CRISPR screen data (organisms, screens, scores). Invoke when user needs to search CRISPR screens, get vocabulary, or retrieve gene scores.

bioinformatics-translational-opportunity-finder

Identifies translationally meaningful paths for bioinformatics findings by mapping omics or computational discoveries to diagnosis, stratification, prognosis, treatment-response, monitoring, or target-nomination use cases, while auditing bridge evidence, assayability, and validation burden. Use this skill when a user wants to know whether a bioinformatics finding can be framed as a stronger translational topic without overclaiming clinical relevance. Always separate statistical signal from translational value, and never imply clinical utility, targetability, or validation depth without explicit evidence support.

biomarker-landscape-scanner

Scans the biomarker landscape of a disease area by biomarker type, clinical/research use case, evidence layer, validation status, and maturity level. Use this skill when a user wants a field-level biomarker evidence map rather than a generic literature summary. Always separate exploratory biomarkers from externally validated or clinically embedded biomarkers, and never imply clinical maturity without explicit evidence support.

biomedical-search-strategy-builder

Builds professional search strategies for PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and similar databases. Use when a user needs to construct a MeSH-based Boolean query, design a systematic review search, expand a concept with synonyms, apply study-type or date filters, or adapt a query across multiple databases. Also triggers when the user says "help me search for papers on X", "build a search strategy", "what are the MeSH terms for", or "I need a systematic review search string".

biopython-advanced

Advanced Biopython modules for motifs, population genetics, sequence utilities, restriction analysis, clustering, and GenomeDiagram visualization; use when you need extended bioinformatics analysis beyond basic sequence I/O and alignment.
