Data & AI Skills

This skill should be used when working with annotated data matrices in Python, particularly for single-cell genomics analysis, managing experimental measurements with metadata, or handling large-scale biological datasets. Use when tasks involve AnnData objects, h5ad files, single-cell RNA-seq data, or integration with scanpy/scverse tools.

Parallel/distributed computing. Scale pandas/NumPy beyond memory, parallel DataFrames/Arrays, multi-file processing, task graphs, for larger-than-RAM datasets and parallel workflows.

Pythonic wrapper around RDKit with simplified interface and sensible defaults. Preferred for standard drug discovery: SMILES parsing, standardization, descriptors, fingerprints, clustering, 3D conformers, parallel processing. Returns native rdkit.Chem.Mol objects. For advanced control or custom parameters, use rdkit directly.

Python interface to OpenMS for mass spectrometry data analysis. Use for LC-MS/MS proteomics and metabolomics workflows including file handling (mzML, mzXML, mzTab, FASTA, pepXML, protXML, mzIdentML), signal processing, feature detection, peptide identification, and quantitative analysis. Apply when working with mass spectrometry data, analyzing proteomics experiments, or processing metabolomics datasets.

Systematic framework for evaluating scholarly and research work based on the ScholarEval methodology. This skill should be used when assessing research papers, evaluating literature reviews, scoring research methodologies, analyzing scientific writing quality, or applying structured evaluation criteria to academic work. Provides comprehensive assessment across multiple dimensions including problem formulation, literature review, methodology, data collection, analysis, results interpretation, and scholarly writing quality.

Write scientific manuscripts. IMRAD structure, citations (APA/AMA/Vancouver), figures/tables, reporting guidelines (CONSORT/STROBE/PRISMA), abstracts, for research papers and journal submissions.

Machine learning in Python with scikit-learn. Use when working with supervised learning (classification, regression), unsupervised learning (clustering, dimensionality reduction), model evaluation, hyperparameter tuning, preprocessing, or building ML pipelines. Provides comprehensive reference documentation for algorithms, preprocessing techniques, pipelines, and best practices.

This skill should be used when working with single-cell omics data analysis using scvi-tools, including scRNA-seq, scATAC-seq, CITE-seq, spatial transcriptomics, and other single-cell modalities. Use this skill for probabilistic modeling, batch correction, dimensionality reduction, differential expression, cell type annotation, multimodal integration, and spatial analysis tasks.

Graph Neural Networks (PyG). Node/graph classification, link prediction, GCN, GAT, GraphSAGE, heterogeneous graphs, molecular property prediction, for geometric deep learning.

UMAP dimensionality reduction. Fast nonlinear manifold learning for 2D/3D visualization, clustering preprocessing (HDBSCAN), supervised/parametric UMAP, for high-dimensional data.

Use this skill for processing and analyzing large tabular datasets (billions of rows) that exceed available RAM. Vaex excels at out-of-core DataFrame operations, lazy evaluation, fast aggregations, efficient visualization of big data, and machine learning on large datasets. Apply when users need to work with large CSV/HDF5/Arrow/Parquet files, perform fast statistics on massive datasets, create visualizations of big data, or build ML pipelines that don't fit in memory.
