Skill UI

This advanced skill systematically verifies the novelty of a proposed academic method or research idea against the latest scientific literature. It performs multi-source searches across databases like arXiv, Google Scholar, and major conference proceedings (ICML, NeurIPS). Using a multi-step process, it extracts core claims, searches multiple sources, performs cross-model verification via LLM, and outputs a structured Novelty Report, detailing overlap, prior work, and overall recommendation.

This comprehensive skill provides a standardized pipeline for reconstructing the evolutionary history of biological sequences (genes, proteins, genomes). It guides users through essential steps, including multiple sequence alignment using MAFFT, maximum likelihood tree inference with IQ-TREE 2, and visualization with ETE3. Ideal for research in viral phylodynamics, molecular clock studies, and large-scale comparative genomics.

This skill provides the core mechanism for integrating Hex into external data pipelines. It enables triggering, monitoring, and managing Hex projects (e.g., via Airflow or Dagster) programmatically. Users can implement parameterized runs, execute multi-step ETL workflows sequentially, and handle status polling and error management, making it ideal for production data orchestration.
