evidence-grading
Evaluates and grades the strength of evidence behind scientific claims based on study design, replication status, sample size, venue quality, and recency. Use when the user wants to know how much to trust a finding, needs to calibrate hedging language for a manuscript, wants to grade preliminary evidence for a grant, or needs to rank a set of papers by evidentiary weight. Triggers on phrases like "how strong is the evidence", "can we trust this result", "how preliminary is this", "grade this paper", "how confident should we be", "is this well-supported", "calibrate our claim".
gap-detection
Identifies research gaps — what hasn't been studied, is underexplored, or remains unresolved — in a body of literature. Use when the user wants to find novel research directions, position their work as a new contribution, write a significance or motivation section for a grant or paper, verify that a proposed contribution is actually novel, or identify what the field is missing. Triggers on phrases like "what hasn't been done", "research gaps", "what's missing", "is this novel", "open questions", "what should we study next", "gap in the literature".
living-review
Maintains a continuously updated, structured literature review for a research team. Use when the user wants to add papers to a shared review, generate or update a literature review document, summarize what the team has collectively read on a topic, prepare an introduction or related work section, or onboard a new team member with a fast overview of prior work. Triggers on phrases like "update our lit review", "add this paper to the review", "what do we know about X", "summarize the papers on", "generate a related work section".
reading-coverage
Tracks which papers the team has collectively read, who has read what, and which important papers remain unread. Use when the user wants to know if anyone has read a specific paper, wants an overview of team reading coverage, needs to assign unread papers to team members, or wants to generate a reading queue. Triggers on phrases like "has anyone read", "who read this paper", "reading coverage", "unread papers", "reading assignments", "what haven't we read", "reading queue", "assign papers to".
contradiction-detection
Scans a body of papers for conflicting empirical claims, opposing conclusions, or methodological disagreements on the same topic. Use when the user wants to know if papers in their corpus disagree with each other, needs to address conflicting findings in a discussion section, wants to verify a claim before building on it, or is trying to understand why two papers got different results. Triggers on phrases like "do any papers disagree", "conflicting findings", "paper A contradicts paper B", "why do results differ", "conflicting claims", "contradiction in the literature".
web-research-workflow
Unified decision tree for web research and competitive monitoring. Auto-selects WebFetch, Tavily, or agent-browser based on target site characteristics and available API keys. Includes competitor page tracking, snapshot diffing, and change alerting. Use when researching web content, scraping, extracting raw markdown, capturing documentation, or monitoring competitor changes.
claim-tracker
Tracks specific scientific claims over time — who made them, who replicated or challenged them, and whether they still stand. Use when the user wants to verify a claim before building on it, check if a key result has been replicated, register a central claim from their own work, track whether cited results remain valid, or check if a paper has been retracted. Triggers on phrases like "has this been replicated", "does this claim still hold", "track this result", "verify this finding", "has X been retracted", "provenance of this claim", "register this claim".
okr-design
OKR trees, KPI dashboards, North Star Metric, leading/lagging indicators, and experiment design. Use when setting team goals, defining success metrics, building measurement frameworks, or designing A/B experiment guardrails.
mcp-visual-output
Interactive MCP visual output via @json-render/mcp. Upgrade plain JSON tool responses to interactive dashboards rendered in sandboxed iframes inside Claude, Cursor, and ChatGPT conversations. Covers createMcpApp(), registerJsonRenderTool(), CSP config, streaming, and dashboard component patterns. Use when building MCP servers that return visual output, upgrading existing MCP tools with interactive UI, or creating eval/monitoring dashboards.
portless
Named .localhost URLs for local development with portless. Eliminates port collisions, enables stable URLs for agents, integrates with emulate for API emulation aliases and git worktrees for branch-named subdomains. Use when setting up local dev environments, configuring agent-accessible URLs, or running multi-service dev setups. Do NOT use for production deployments, CI environments (set PORTLESS=0), or DNS/hosting configuration.
design-context-extract
Extract design DNA from existing app screenshots or live URLs using Google Stitch. Produces color palettes, typography specs, spacing tokens, and component patterns as design-tokens.json or Tailwind config. Use when auditing an existing design, creating a design system from a live app, or ensuring new pages match an established visual identity.
ioc-investigation
Use this skill when asked to investigate an Indicator of Compromise (IoC) such as an IP address, DNS domain, URL, or file hash. Triggers on keywords like "investigate IP", "check domain", "IoC investigation", "threat intel", "is this malicious", "suspicious URL", or when an IP/domain/URL/hash is mentioned with investigation context. This skill provides comprehensive IoC analysis using Microsoft Defender Threat Intelligence, Sentinel Threat Intel tables, Advanced Hunting, organizational exposure assessment, CVE correlation, and affected device enumeration.
frontmcp-setup
Domain router for project setup, scaffolding, and organization. Use this skill whenever someone asks to create a new FrontMCP project, set up an Nx monorepo, configure Redis or SQLite storage, organize project structure, compose multiple apps into one server, or manage the skills system. Also triggers for questions like 'how do I start', 'project layout', 'folder structure', 'add redis', 'set up database', or 'create a new app'.
frontmcp-deployment
Use when you need to deploy, build for production, containerize, or ship a FrontMCP server. Covers Vercel, Lambda, Cloudflare, Docker, edge runtime, serverless, bundle for CLI, and Node targets. Triggers: deploy, build for production, dockerize, serverless, go live.
learning-analytics-interpretation-guide
Interpret learning analytics data and translate dashboard findings into actionable teaching decisions. Use when reviewing LMS data, quiz patterns, or engagement metrics.
gds-domain-research
Conduct game domain and industry research. Use when the user says "lets create a research report on [game domain or industry]"
gds-brainstorm-game
Facilitate game brainstorming sessions with game-specific techniques. Use when the user says "brainstorm game" or "game ideas"
digital-worked-example-sequence
Create an interactive digital worked example sequence with fading for online or blended delivery. Use when building e-learning modules, LMS content, or app-based instruction.
