Use this skill whenever the user wants to find, read, cite, track, download, or analyze academic papers on arXiv. That includes: searching papers by topic, author, category, or arXiv ID; fetching abstracts or full metadata; generating BibTeX citations; downloading PDFs; listing the latest submissions in a field (e.g. cs.AI daily digest); checking a paper's citation impact; finding who cites a paper, what it references, or related-paper recommendations. Trigger on mentions of 'arXiv', an arXiv ID (e.g. 2601.02780 or hep-th/0601001), an arxiv.org URL, 'paper search', 'literature review', 'find papers about X', 'cite this paper', or 'what's new in cs.LG'.

Use when the user asks about GitNexus itself — available tools, how to query the knowledge graph, MCP resources, graph schema, or workflow reference. Examples: "What GitNexus tools are available?", "How do I use GitNexus?"

Initializes an AI development session by reading workflow guides, developer identity, git status, active tasks, and project guidelines from .trellis/. Classifies incoming tasks and routes to brainstorm, direct edit, or task workflow. Use when beginning a new coding session, resuming work, starting a new task, or re-establishing project context.

Wrap up the current session: verify quality gate passed, remind user to commit, archive completed tasks, and record session progress to the developer journal. Use when done coding and ready to end the session.

Use when user wants to generate music, songs, or audio tracks. Triggers on any request involving music creation, song writing, lyrics generation, audio production, or covers. Also triggers when user provides lyrics and wants them turned into a song, or describes a mood/scene and wants background music. Supports multilingual triggers — match equivalent phrases in any language. Do NOT use for music playback of existing files, music theory questions, or music recommendation without generation.

Convert photos (people, pets, objects, logos) into 4 animated GIF stickers with captions. Use when: user wants to create cartoon stickers, GIF expressions, emoji packs, animated avatars, or convert photos to Funko Pop / Pop Mart blind box style animations. Triggers: sticker, GIF, cartoon, emoji, expression pack, avatar animation.

Review pull requests for the MiniMax Skills repository. Use when reviewing PRs, validating new skill submissions, or checking existing skills for compliance. Run the validation script first for hard checks, then apply quality guidelines for content review. Triggers: PR review, pull request, validate skill, check skill.

Generates performance-focused guidance for Google Cloud workloads based on the design principles and recommendations in the Performance Optimization pillar of the Google Cloud Well-Architected Framework (WAF). Use this skill to evaluate a workload, identify performance requirements, and provide actionable recommendations for resource allocation, modular design, and elasticity.

Discovers requirements, and generates architectural, design, and deployment guidance for a retrieval-augmented generation (RAG)-capable enterprise search system in Google Cloud. Use when users need a vector-enabled SQL database as the store and index for the embedding vectors, an open model and open-source inferencing framework, and Kubernetes containers to host all the application components. DON'T use this skill for fully-managed RAG, or SaaS search services, or when a non-SQL vector database is required.

Manages scaling for GKE workloads using HPA and VPA. Use when configuring Horizontal Pod Autoscaler (HPA), configuring Vertical Pod Autoscaler (VPA), or applying best practices for GKE workload autoscaling. Do not use for cluster-level autoscaling (Cluster Autoscaler), static cluster sizing, or configuring node-level machine styles directly.

Provides GKE golden path configuration defaults, production readiness checklists, and cluster default patterns. Use when designing GKE clusters, verifying GKE production readiness, or checking configurations against GKE defaults. Don't use for setting up workload autoscaling specifically (use gke-workload-scaling instead).

Optimizes GKE costs, rightsizes workloads, and configures Spot VMs, CUDs, cost allocation, and resource quotas. Use when optimizing GKE cluster or workload costs, configuring GKE cost allocation or quotas, rightsizing CPU/memory requests, or selecting Spot VMs and machine types. Don't use for general compute class provisioning or GPU Selection (use gke-compute-classes instead).

Trigger on mention of GKE cluster autoscaler, node autoscaling, node pool auto-creation / node auto-provisioning. Provides guidance on enabling and optimizing cluster autoscaler, best practices, and troubleshooting issues such as nodes not scaling up or down, zonal stockouts, or capacity buffers. Do not use for ComputeClass-specific YAML generation or priority configuration (defer to gke-compute-classes skill).

Generates Logging Query Language (LQL) queries for Google Cloud Logging from natural language. Use this skill when you need to query log data or when you are debugging issues. You can filter log data by Google Cloud service. Don't use this skill to query other databases, such as SQL or Cloud Spanner.

Assists in provisioning instances/tables, designing performant schemas, and querying data in Bigtable. Use when designing Bigtable row keys, configuring column families, writing SQL queries or client library code (Java, Go, Python) for Bigtable, or diagnosing performance/hotspotting issues. Also use when provisioning Bigtable clusters using gcloud or cbt CLIs. Don't use for generic Cloud SQL administration.

Generates Python code using BigQuery DataFrames (BigFrames), the pandas/scikit-learn-style API over BigQuery. Use when writing BigFrames code or doing pandas-style dataframe/ML work against BigQuery (e.g. in a notebook). Don't use for SQL-first workflows or the google-cloud-bigquery client library — use bigquery-basics.

Provides instructions to implement, integrate, or configure Google Mobile Ads (GMA) banner ads in Android, iOS, or Unity mobile applications. Use when the task involves setting up banner ads in a mobile application. Don't use for other ad formats like interstitial or rewarded ads.

Create the required PR-ready summary block, branch suggestion, title, and draft description for ioredis. Must be used before the final response whenever the actual task diff includes runtime code, tests, examples, build/test configuration, or docs with behavior impact, regardless of perceived change size. Skip only when no eligible files changed, every change is repo-meta or docs-only without behavior impact, the task is conversation-only, or the user explicitly opts out.

Verify ioredis code changes before handoff. Use when an agent changes or reviews runtime TypeScript, Redis command support, generated typings, tests, docs tied to behavior, build tooling, release-sensitive files, or any task that needs choosing and running the right local validation commands.

Create or update Flet control screenshots and GIFs that are generated from integration tests and shown in docs. Use when working on `sdk/python/packages/flet/integration_tests/examples`, refreshing static or interactive golden screenshots, or replacing old example media images or GIFs with generated test assets.
