Set an explicit objective, success criteria, and stopping conditions for the current OpenScience session.

OpenAI's model connecting vision and language. Enables zero-shot image classification, image-text matching, and cross-modal retrieval. Trained on 400M image-text pairs. Use for image search, content moderation, or vision-language tasks without fine-tuning. Best for general-purpose image understanding.

Autonomous AI agent platform for building and deploying continuous agents. Use when creating visual workflow agents, deploying persistent autonomous agents, or building complex multi-step AI automation systems.

Query openFDA API for drugs, devices, adverse events, recalls, regulatory submissions (510k, PMA), substance identification (UNII), for FDA regulatory data analysis and safety research.

Query Ensembl genome database REST API for 250+ species. Gene lookups, sequence retrieval, variant analysis, comparative genomics, orthologs, VEP predictions, for genomic research.

Access and analyze comprehensive drug information from the DrugBank database including drug properties, interactions, targets, pathways, chemical structures, and pharmacology data. This skill should be used when working with pharmaceutical data, drug discovery research, pharmacology studies, drug-drug interaction analysis, target identification, chemical similarity searches, ADMET predictions, or any task requiring detailed drug and drug target information from DrugBank.

Work with Data Commons, a platform providing programmatic access to public statistical data from global sources. Use this skill when working with demographic data, economic indicators, health statistics, environmental data, or any public datasets available through Data Commons. Applicable for querying population statistics, GDP figures, unemployment rates, disease prevalence, geographic entity resolution, and exploring relationships between statistical entities.

Comprehensive citation management for academic research. Search Google Scholar and PubMed for papers, extract accurate metadata, validate citations, and generate properly formatted BibTeX entries. This skill should be used when you need to find papers, verify citation information, convert DOIs to BibTeX, or ensure reference accuracy in scientific writing.

Publication-quality DNA/RNA visualizations. Plasmid maps (circular/linear), sequence logos, restriction enzyme maps, GC content plots, and gene feature annotation tracks from GenBank/FASTA.

Google quantum computing framework. Use when targeting Google Quantum AI hardware, designing noise-aware circuits, or running quantum characterization experiments. Best for Google hardware, noise modeling, and low-level circuit design. For IBM hardware use qiskit; for quantum ML with autodiff use pennylane; for physics simulations use qutip.

Hamiltonian mechanics — symplectic integrators (leapfrog, Yoshida), Hamilton's equations, Poisson brackets, canonical transformations, action-angle variables, and KAM theory analysis. Use for energy-conserving long-time integration of conservative systems.

Framework for computational fluid dynamics simulations using Python. Use when running fluid dynamics simulations including Navier-Stokes equations (2D/3D), shallow water equations, stratified flows, or when analyzing turbulence, vortex dynamics, or geophysical flows. Provides pseudospectral methods with FFT, HPC support, and comprehensive output analysis.

Computational fluid dynamics — Navier-Stokes solvers, lid-driven cavity, channel flow, vortex methods, turbulence statistics, drag/lift computation. Spectral and finite-difference methods for incompressible and compressible flows.

Analyze nonlinear dynamical systems — phase portraits, fixed points, stability analysis, bifurcation diagrams, Poincare sections, Lyapunov exponents, and chaos detection. Use for any autonomous or non-autonomous ODE system where qualitative behavior matters.

Automated dimensional analysis — Buckingham Pi theorem, non-dimensionalization, unit validation with pint, and characteristic scale estimation. Use before any physics computation to verify consistency and reduce parameter space.

Discover conserved quantities and symmetries from trajectory data. Identifies energy, momentum, angular momentum, and custom invariants using neural networks and symbolic methods. Inspired by Noether's theorem.

Bayesian parameter estimation with MCMC (emcee) and probabilistic programming (PyMC). Posterior distributions, corner plots, model evidence, convergence diagnostics. Use when you need full posterior distributions, not just point estimates.

Training patterns for autoregressive neural PDE solvers (FNO, DeepONet, CNO). Covers rollout training, noise injection for stability, multi-component loss functions (H1, frequency-sensitive, boundary-aware), per-channel normalization for coupled multi-variable systems, and the PDEBench nRMSE metric. Use when training any neural operator that predicts time-dependent PDE solutions.

Comprehensive Python library for astronomy and astrophysics. This skill should be used when working with astronomical data including celestial coordinates, physical units, FITS files, cosmological calculations, time systems, tables, world coordinate systems (WCS), and astronomical data analysis. Use when tasks involve coordinate transformations, unit conversions, FITS file manipulation, cosmological distance calculations, time scale conversions, or astronomical data processing.

This skill should be used at the start of any computationally intensive scientific task to detect and report available system resources (CPU cores, GPUs, memory, disk space). It creates a JSON file with resource information and strategic recommendations that inform computational approach decisions such as whether to use parallel processing (joblib, multiprocessing), out-of-core computing (Dask, Zarr), GPU acceleration (PyTorch, JAX), or memory-efficient strategies. Use this skill before running analyses, training models, processing large datasets, or any task where resource constraints matter.

Fine-tune LLMs using reinforcement learning with TRL - SFT for instruction tuning, DPO for preference alignment, PPO/GRPO for reward optimization, and reward model training. Use when need RLHF, align model with preferences, or train from human feedback. Works with HuggingFace Transformers.

Provides PyTorch-native distributed LLM pretraining using torchtitan with 4D parallelism (FSDP2, TP, PP, CP). Use when pretraining Llama 3.1, DeepSeek V3, or custom models at scale from 8 to 512+ GPUs with Float8, torch.compile, and distributed checkpointing.

Evaluates LLMs across 60+ academic benchmarks (MMLU, HumanEval, GSM8K, TruthfulQA, HellaSwag). Use when benchmarking model quality, comparing models, reporting academic results, or tracking training progress. Industry standard used by EleutherAI, HuggingFace, and major labs. Supports HuggingFace, vLLM, APIs.

Half-Quadratic Quantization for LLMs without calibration data. Use when quantizing models to 4/3/2-bit precision without needing calibration datasets, for fast quantization workflows, or when deploying with vLLM or HuggingFace Transformers.
