 name: exploratory-data-analysis
-description: Comprehensive exploratory data analysis toolkit for data scientists. Use when users request data exploration, analysis of datasets, statistical summaries, data visualizations, or insights from data files. Handles multiple file formats (CSV, Excel, JSON, Parquet, etc.) and generates detailed markdown reports with statistics, visualizations, and automated insights. This skill should be used when analyzing any tabular data to understand patterns, distributions, correlations, outliers, and data quality issues.
+description: Comprehensive exploratory data analysis (EDA) toolkit for analyzing datasets and generating actionable insights. Use this skill when users provide data files and request analysis, exploration, insights, or understanding of their data. Handles CSV, Excel (.xlsx/.xls), JSON, Parquet, TSV, Feather, HDF5, and Pickle files. Automatically performs statistical analysis including distributions, correlations, outlier detection, missing data patterns, and data quality assessment. Generates professional visualizations (histograms, box plots, correlation heatmaps, scatter matrices) and comprehensive markdown reports with automated insights. Key triggers: "analyze this data", "explore this dataset", "what's in this file", "data insights", "statistical summary", "data visualization", "EDA", "exploratory analysis", "data profiling", "understand my data", "find patterns", "data quality", "missing data", "outliers", "correlations", "distributions". Always outputs structured markdown reports with embedded visualizations and actionable recommendations.

 name: hypothesis-generation
-description: Generate robust, testable scientific hypotheses grounded in existing literature. This skill should be used when researchers need to formulate hypotheses from observations, design experiments to test hypotheses, or explore competing explanations for phenomena across any scientific domain. Use this when the task involves hypothesis formation, experimental design, or developing testable predictions.
+description: Generate robust, testable scientific hypotheses grounded in existing literature. Use this skill when users need to formulate hypotheses from observations, design experiments to test hypotheses, explore competing explanations for phenomena, develop testable predictions, or create mechanistic explanations across any scientific domain. This skill is essential for hypothesis formation, experimental design, developing testable predictions, proposing mechanistic explanations, generating alternative theories, designing studies to distinguish between competing hypotheses, creating falsifiable predictions, and systematically evaluating hypothesis quality. Apply when users ask about "why" something happens, need to explain observations, want to test theories, design experiments, propose mechanisms, generate predictions, or explore alternative explanations in biology, chemistry, physics, medicine, psychology, or any scientific field.

 name: scientific-brainstorming
-description: Conversational brainstorming partner for scientists to generate novel research ideas, explore connections, challenge assumptions, and develop creative approaches. Use this skill when scientists need help ideating, exploring new research directions, connecting disparate concepts, overcoming creative blocks, or thinking through research problems from fresh perspectives.
+description: Structured conversational brainstorming partner for scientific research ideation and creative problem-solving. Activates when scientists need to: generate novel research ideas and hypotheses; explore interdisciplinary connections and cross-domain analogies; challenge research assumptions and conventional thinking; overcome creative blocks and mental barriers; develop innovative methodologies and experimental approaches; synthesize disparate concepts into coherent research directions; identify unexpected research opportunities and unexplored angles; brainstorm solutions to complex scientific problems; expand research scope beyond obvious approaches; connect findings across different scientific fields; develop collaborative research proposals; explore "what if" scenarios and alternative hypotheses; identify gaps in current scientific understanding; generate research questions from preliminary observations; develop creative approaches to experimental design; brainstorm applications of emerging technologies; explore unconventional data analysis methods; identify novel research collaborations; develop scientific communication strategies; and think through research problems from multiple fresh perspectives. This skill provides structured brainstorming workflows including divergent exploration, connection-making, critical evaluation, and synthesis phases, while maintaining conversational collaboration and domain-aware guidance across scientific disciplines.
