Skill UI

A comprehensive mentor for graduate students and early-career researchers, guiding the entire research lifecycle. This skill covers formulating rigorous research questions, designing studies (quantitative, qualitative, mixed-methods), conducting literature reviews, analyzing data, and writing publishable papers. It emphasizes methodological rigor, critical thinking, and ethical considerations.

A powerful tool for scientific literature review and evidence synthesis. This skill searches a curated database of full-text scientific papers, going beyond traditional abstracts. It extracts and returns highly structured, quantitative data, including methodologies, quantitative results, sample sizes, quality scores, and 25+ metadata fields per paper, making it ideal for meta-analyses and systematic reviews.

An autonomous research agent that plans complex investigations using Directed Acyclic Graphs (DAGs). It executes sub-questions in parallel, performs gap analysis, and iteratively refines findings before synthesizing a comprehensive, structured report. Ideal for deep market analysis, academic literature reviews, or complex problem-solving requiring multiple data sources.

A systematic tool for scientific inquiry, guiding users through the entire research process. It helps formulate testable, mechanistic hypotheses from raw observations or preliminary data, following the established scientific method. The workflow includes comprehensive literature review, evidence synthesis, generating competing explanations, and designing experiments, all while mandating the creation of scientific schematics for visualization.

Create professional, data-driven infographics effortlessly. This skill uses advanced AI (Nano Banana Pro) integrated with web research to gather accurate statistics and facts. It supports various visualization types (e.g., timelines, comparisons, statistical charts) and includes a smart iterative review process, ensuring the output meets high quality standards for specific document types like marketing materials or business reports. No design expertise required.

An end-to-end toolkit designed for analyzing high-density Neuropixels electrophysiology recordings. It implements best practices using SpikeInterface, covering the entire workflow: data loading (SpikeGLX, NWB), preprocessing, motion/drift correction, advanced spike sorting (Kilosort4), quality metric computation, and unit curation (including AI-assisted review). Ideal for neuroscience research.

A systematic framework designed for conducting rigorous peer reviews of scientific manuscripts and grant proposals. It provides a structured, checklist-based evaluation covering methodology rigor, statistical validity, reporting compliance (e.g., CONSORT, STROBE), and assesses all sections from abstract to results. Ideal for academic publishing, research quality assessment, and providing detailed, constructive feedback.

Utilize the ScholarEval framework for comprehensive and structured evaluation of academic works, including research papers, proposals, and literature reviews. Assess quality across critical dimensions like problem formulation, methodology rigor, data analysis, and scholarly writing. Provides both quantitative scoring and actionable feedback to enhance publication readiness.

This skill provides a systematic framework for evaluating the rigor of scientific claims, research methodology, and evidence quality. It guides users through assessing experimental design validity, identifying various types of biases (e.g., selection, cognitive), and applying established grading frameworks like GRADE or Cochrane Risk of Bias. Ideal for systematic reviews, peer review, and critical analysis of scientific literature.

A powerful AI tool designed to transform complex scientific concepts into publication-quality visual schematics. Utilizing Nano Banana 2 AI for generation and Gemini 3.1 Pro Preview for rigorous quality review, the skill specializes in creating architectural diagrams, neural network structures, biological pathways, and complex flowcharts. It employs smart iterative refinement, ensuring the output meets predefined quality thresholds for academic journals, posters, and reports.

This tool automates the complete specification generation process across four core phases: Initialization, Requirements, Design, and Tasks. It supports both interactive (step-by-step approval) and automatic execution modes. After generating the full spec, it performs a final sanity review to ensure coherence and completeness, providing a ready-to-implement blueprint.

This skill generates comprehensive and structured requirements documents for a new specification. It systematically aggregates context from project files, business rules, and technical constraints, ensuring all generated requirements focus on user-observable behavior (WHAT) rather than implementation details (HOW). It follows established standards like EARS format and includes a rigorous review gate to ensure scope clarity and completeness.
