Specialized in neural network architectures, system diagrams, flowcharts, biological pathways, and complex scientific visualizations.

Authors, reviews, migrates, simulates, and troubleshoots official Opentrons Python Protocol API v2 protocols for Flex and OT-2 robots. Use for robot-specific liquid handling, deck and labware setup, pipettes, modules, runtime parameters, liquid classes, and Opentrons App analysis. Use pylabrobot instead when one workflow must support multiple robot vendors.

Formulates evidence-bounded scientific questions, candidate hypotheses, rival explanations, causal or associational claims, discriminating predictions, measurements, and preregistration-ready analysis plans. Used when turning observations or preliminary findings into transparent, testable research plans without treating hypotheses as facts.

Benchling Python SDK and REST API integration for registry entities, inventory, ELN entries, workflows, Benchling Apps, and Data Warehouse queries. Use when automating lab data with benchling-sdk or the v2 API.

Structures a multi-perspective council exercise for decisions, research trade-offs, and creative challenges. Simulates thinking archetypes, separates evidence from assumptions and values, and synthesizes a conditional recommendation. Use when the user requests a council, panel, devil's advocate analysis, "mind council", or deliberate comparison of perspectives on a difficult choice.

Integrates with the official LabArchives ELN REST-like API and Inventory API v1. Supports regional endpoint selection, signed-request construction, user authorization and UID flows, local LA container validation, and verified LabArchives integration workflows.

Reads, validates, and safely exports protocols.io data with current official REST/MCP contracts, or creates non-executing mutation plans. The bundled client makes bounded official-host GET requests only with explicit --execute. Use only for tasks explicitly targeting protocols.io or an exact protocols.io protocol version.

Builds evidence-traceable market research reports and assumption-driven market sizing or forecast scenarios. Use for market definition, industry and customer evidence, competitive landscapes, TAM/SAM/SOM reconciliation, forecast sensitivity, and auditable report scaffolds.

Prepares and structurally reviews readiness evidence for ISO management-system and laboratory-competence standards - ISO 13485 medical device QMS, ISO 14971 device risk management, ISO/IEC 17025 testing and calibration laboratories, and ISO 15189 medical laboratories. Use when organizing declared scope, controlled documents, risk-management files, scope of accreditation, traceability, CAPA, external-provider controls, or bounded local evidence manifests, and when separating ISO certification from laboratory accreditation, FDA QMSR inspection, CLIA certification, MDSAP, and EU MDR/IVDR evidence boundaries. Not for legal applicability, compliance, certification, or accreditation decisions; contains no clause text.

Detects host inventory and effective CPU, memory, disk, scheduler, container, and accelerator limits when a user asks for resource-aware planning or before a clearly resource-sensitive local workload. Produces a redacted JSON snapshot and conservative planning helpers without stress tests or assuming visible host hardware is usable.

Creates and audits truthful, accessible, publication-ready scientific figures with Matplotlib, Seaborn, or Plotly. Use it for figure design, multi-panel layouts, uncertainty and missing-data displays, color/contrast review, image metadata validation, and journal export planning.

Facilitates evidence-aware scientific ideation with independent generation, structured discussion, explicit assumptions, transparent evaluation, adversarial review, and decision logs. Use for early-stage research brainstorming or prioritizing candidate directions; hand off empirical validation, study design, ethics or regulatory review, and clinical questions to appropriate experts or skills.

Resolves free-text scientific labels to ontology term IDs and validates existing CURIEs against the EBI Ontology Lookup Service (OLS4). Also looks up prefixes in Bioregistry, resolves compact identifiers via Identifiers.org, maps lab shorthand with ZOOMA, and builds Ontobee term pages. Use whenever an ontology identifier must be produced or checked - annotating tissue, cell type, disease, phenotype, assay, chemical, organism, sex, or developmental stage fields; preparing metadata for GEO, ENA, BioSamples, CELLxGENE, HCA, or ISA-Tab submission; auditing a metadata table of term IDs; checking whether a term is obsolete and what replaced it; or deciding HPO vs HP. Triggers include "ontology term", "ontology ID", "CURIE", "controlled vocabulary", "UBERON", "CL:", "MONDO", "HPO", "EFO", "ChEBI", "NCBITaxon", "GO term", "PATO", "Zooma", "Bioregistry", "Identifiers.org", "Ontobee", "annotate this tissue/cell type/disease", and any request to emit or verify an identifier shaped like PREFIX:0001234.

Writes scientific Markdown documentation and Mermaid diagrams for workflows, relationships, timelines, and schemas. Provides syntax references, document templates, accessibility guidance, and version-aware rendering checks. Use when a user requests Markdown, Mermaid, or a text-based structural diagram; quantitative scientific figures require suitable plotting tools.

Supports multivariate severity assessment and exploratory endpoint-time score forecasting for laboratory animal studies using the RELSA (RELative Severity Assessment) score and ARIMA-based foRcast forecasting. Use when combining welfare readouts — body weight or weight loss, body temperature, clinical or nesting scores, biomarkers, activity, heart rate, burrowing, wheel running — into one severity score per animal per day, when asking which animals are at risk of reaching a humane endpoint at a specified future observation time, when defining attention/danger zones or thresholds on a severity scale by kernel density estimation, or when reporting severity for a 3Rs, refinement, animal-welfare, or EU Directive 2010/63/EU severity-assessment context. Covers directionality ("turned" variables), baseline normalization, reference sets, RELSA weights, ARIMA prediction intervals, and RMSE/PICP/MPIW evaluation.

Performs bounded, local exploratory analysis of explicitly supported scientific files. Supports redacted CSV/TSV/JSON profiles; optional NumPy, HDF5, FASTA/FASTQ, and basic image metadata inspection; missingness/leakage audits; outlier and transformation sensitivity; and rigorous EDA report scaffolds. Other domain formats are reference-only and unknown formats fail closed.

Prepares and validates research-only clinical decision-support evaluation, evidence-profile, cohort, survival, biomarker/model, privacy, and governance artifacts. Supports aggregate or synthetic research documentation and traceability, excluding patient care and live clinical operation.

Evaluates scientific claims and evidence quality. Applies to experimental design validity, biases and confounders, statistical interpretation, evidence grading frameworks (GRADE, Cochrane Risk of Bias), and teaching critical analysis. Supports evidence appraisal and identifying flaws; formal peer review writing belongs to peer-review.

Plans, executes, and documents validation, verification, and transfer of analytical procedures under the governing framework - ICH Q2(R2) and Q14, USP <1220>/<1225>/<1226>, ICH M10 bioanalytical, CLSI EP, or ISO/IEC 17025. Use for HPLC, LC-MS/MS, GC, CE, ICP-MS, dissolution, qNMR, qPCR, NIR, and ligand binding or cell-based assays whenever the question is whether a procedure is fit for its intended purpose. Triggers include "method validation", "analytical method validation", "AMV", "validation protocol", "acceptance criteria", "linearity", "reportable range", "accuracy and precision", "repeatability", "intermediate precision", "recovery", "LOD", "LOQ", "detection limit", "quantitation limit", "specificity", "robustness", "method transfer", "method comparison", "Deming", "Passing-Bablok", "Bland-Altman", "equivalence testing", "OOS investigation", "ICH Q2", "Q2(R2)", "Q14", "USP 1225", "ICH M10", "incurred sample reanalysis", "ISR", "CLSI EP", and any request to show that an assay works.

Queries public GenSpectrum LAPIS data for pathogen genomic surveillance, current lineage nomenclature, weekly sequence proportions, reporting delays, and descriptive mutation frequencies. Use for variant surveillance, Pango lineage validation, dominant submitted lineages, Nextclade assignment provenance, SARS-CoV-2, influenza/H5N1 clades, RSV, mpox, measles, dengue, or LAPIS queries. Distinguishes sequence prevalence from infection prevalence, clades from genotypes, missing calls from reference matches, and sampling changes from biological growth advantage.
