-
onyx-dot-app Bundle PPTXUse this skill any time a .pptx file is involved in any way — as input, output, or both. This includes: creating slide decks, pitch decks, or presentations; reading, parsing, or extracting text from any .pptx file (even if the extracted content will be used elsewhere, like in an email or summary); editing, modifying, or updating existing presentations; combining or splitting slide files; working with templates, layouts, speaker notes, or comments. Trigger whenever the user mentions "deck," "slides," "presentation," or references a .pptx filename, regardless of what they plan to do with the content afterward. If a .pptx file needs to be opened, created, or touched, use this skill.

For deep taxonomic profiling use metagenomics/kraken-classification.
-
fridrichmethod Bundle Bio Spatial Transcriptomics High Resolution BinningReconstructs single cells from sub-cellular spatial capture units (Visium HD 2um bins, Stereo-seq DNB spots, Slide-seqV2 beads) by aggregating bins UP into cells rather than deconvolving a mixture DOWN. Use when choosing a bin size and recognizing the sparsity-vs-mixture dilemma (2um bins are too sparse to cluster, but binning to 8/16um re-creates the multi-cell mixture deconvolution was meant to escape); deciding between morphology-driven cell reconstruction (Bin2cell -- StarDist/Cellpose nuclei on a registered H&E/DAPI image, then assign 2um bins to nuclei) and fixed-bin aggregation by whether a co-registered cell image exists; recognizing this as the INVERSE of deconvolution (bin UP, not mix DOWN -- this is the AMBIGUOUS regime of the resolution fork); and handling each platform (Visium HD has an image so reconstruct, Slide-seqV2 has no per-bead image so aggregate or deconvolve, Stereo-seq depends on a registered stain).

fridrichmethod Bundle Bio Metabolomics Targeted AnalysisDesigns and validates quantitative targeted metabolomics assays (MRM/SRM on triple-quadrupole, PRM on high-resolution instruments) to report absolute concentrations. Covers the internal-standard strategy (external cal -> global IS -> standard addition -> stable-isotope-labeled IS), weighted calibration judged by back-calculated %RE not R-squared, ion-ratio quantifier/qualifier confirmation, matrix-effect/recovery characterization, and ICH M10 method validation. Use when quantifying a closed panel of known metabolites with units, building or validating an LC-MS/MS assay, choosing an IS or calibration weighting, or judging whether a reported concentration is trustworthy. For untargeted feature detection see metabolomics/xcms-preprocessing; for group statistics see metabolomics/statistical-analysis; for flux/MID/tracing see metabolomics/isotope-tracing.
-
fridrichmethod Bundle Bio Primer Design Primer SpecificityChecks whether a PCR primer PAIR amplifies only the intended target genome-wide, using pair-aware in-silico PCR (MFEprimer-3.0, UCSC isPcr, NCBI Primer-BLAST) plus a primer3-py 3'-end-stability prefilter, against the correct database. Covers why plain BLAST is the wrong tool (it scores per-primer similarity, blind to 3'-terminal anchoring and to whether the two primers form a convergent amplicon in range), why a single 3'-terminal mismatch suppresses amplification while internal mismatches are tolerated, why intron-spanning RT-qPCR is defeated by processed pseudogenes that force a GENOME search not transcriptome-only, how to read a Primer-BLAST report (empty unintended-products means none passed its filter, not none exist), and that in-silico checking reduces but never replaces empirical validation. Use when confirming specificity, screening off-target amplicons, avoiding paralog/pseudogene hits, or checking SNPs under the 3' end. Design is primer-basics; dimers primer-validation; alignment read-alignment.
-
fridrichmethod Skill Citation ManagementSelecting a reference manager and applying citation styles. Compares Zotero, Mendeley, EndNote, Paperpile; covers APA/Vancouver/ACS/Nature styles, DOI management, citation tracking, and Word/Google Docs/LaTeX integration. Use when setting up a reference workflow or fixing citation formatting.
-
fridrichmethod Bundle Bio Methylation CallingExtracts per-cytosine methylation calls from aligned bisulfite/EM-seq reads with bismark_methylation_extractor (Bismark BAM) or the aligner-agnostic MethylDackel/BISCUIT (bwa-meth BAM), producing the beta value M/(M+U) as a coverage file, bedGraph, or genome-wide cytosine report across CpG/CHG/CHH context. Covers conversion-rate QC as the first gate, the 5mC vs 5hmC summed caveat, variant-aware calling so a C/T SNP does not masquerade as unmethylation, paired-end --no_overlap double-counting, symmetric CpG dyad collapse, and the 0-based vs 1-based coordinate trap. Use when extracting methylation levels from a bisulfite/EM-seq alignment, choosing an extractor for a non-Bismark BAM, QC-ing conversion efficiency, or producing coverage/cytosine-report input for testing. For long-read MM/ML modification calling see long-read-sequencing/nanopore-methylation; for the upstream BAM see bismark-alignment; for per-CpG statistics see differential-cpg-testing.
-
fridrichmethod Bundle Bio Metagenomics AbundanceTurns shotgun classifier output into a defensible abundance table with Bracken Bayesian re-estimation, then compositional treatment (CLR, zero handling), library-size normalization, reference-frame differential abundance, and optional absolute quantification. Covers why a relative-abundance change is not a change, why Bracken read fractions and MetaPhlAn percentages are different physical quantities, the silent -r read-length bias, the genome-size confound no library-size method fixes, and the rarefaction debate. Use when estimating species abundance from a Kraken2 report, normalizing a community count table, choosing a compositional transform, or converting relative to absolute load. For classification see kraken-classification; for diversity/ordination/DA mechanics see metagenome-visualization.
-
fridrichmethod Bundle Bio Microbiome Functional PredictionPredicts community functional POTENTIAL from 16S/ITS amplicon ASVs with PICRUSt2 (or q2-picrust2) by phylogenetic interpolation of reference-genome gene content - EPA-ng placement, gappa, castor hidden-state prediction of KO/EC/Pfam copy number, 16S copy-number normalization, and MinPath MetaCyc/KEGG pathways - gated by the NSTI quality index. Covers why predicted function is taxonomy re-encoded (never measured gene content and never activity), the mandatory NSTI report (--max_nsti 2 silently drops novel ASVs), why accuracy IS reference coverage (gut Spearman ~0.8, soil/marine collapse), the circularity trap, and Tax4Fun2/FAPROTAX/BugBase alternatives. Use when inferring KO/EC/MetaCyc potential from an ASV table, gating on NSTI, or choosing a prediction method. For MEASURED shotgun function see metagenomics/functional-profiling; for enrichment of KO lists see pathway-analysis/go-enrichment; for DA of predicted tables see differential-abundance.
