Compose one publication-grade multi-panel figure. Entry from a one-line claim + data files, OR from an existing figure via deriveoutlineprompt (you read the PNG). Runs a per-figure loop: outline (12-col grid, per-panel ask + labelbudget) → render each panel with paneltask (loading figure-style), one at a time or…
Publication-grade figure correctness and legibility rules. Load before drawing any plot and call applyfigurestyle() — sets a role-mapped font-size ladder, outward ticks, frameless legends, and 300-dpi output. The skill is a checklist, not a house look: data fidelity (claim-titles tested against every row, excluded…
Generate a therapeutic indication dossier. Covers the patient population, epidemiology, disease biology, standard of care, regulatory precedent, and landmark clinical trials.
Use this skill when the user wants intellectual understanding — learning how or why something works, not getting a task done or soliciting Claude's judgment. Trigger for: Explicit learning requests: teach, explain, ELI5, walk me through, quiz me, flashcards, "I'm rusty on"; definitions ("what is X") Terse concept…
Inverse-fold a backbone with ligand, nucleic-acid, and metal context using LigandMPNN (Dauparas et al. 2023, github.com/dauparas/LigandMPNN). Reach for this skill to redesign the residues lining a binding pocket around a bound small molecule or cofactor, to design metal-coordinating sites where the geometry must be…
Find, verify, and synthesize scientific literature — from "what's the seminal paper for X" through full multi-source reviews. Covers grounding claims in real retrieved sources, avoiding fabricated citations, handling retractions, and calibrating confidence to evidence strength.
Register a model service in the managed family — a local model server container the daemon starts/stops on demand, or a remote upstream model API (https). Read the runbook, allocate a port (local only), compose idempotent start/stop scripts (local only), register once. Load when the user wants a model service…
Structure prediction using OpenFold3, an open-weights PyTorch reproduction of AlphaFold3 from the AlQuraishi Lab. Use this skill when predicting protein/nucleic-acid/ligand complex structures with an Apache-2.0-licensed AF3 reimplementation.
Judge and reshape the STORY a paper's figures tell. Input is the work itself — manuscript (or abstract) + figure deck — no hand-written brief. paperbriefprompt(abstract, captions) hands you the prompt to write the brief yourself (pitch/vision/per-figure-claims); then you play a handling editor over the full deck and…
Use this skill when the user has attached a PDF, paper, report, or other document and the answer needs content from more than one place in it: summarize the methods or any other section, compare sections, find where a topic is discussed, read a value or label off a figure or chart, or find/list/extract every instance…
Stop and consult this skill whenever your response would include specific facts about Anthropic's products.
