Research & Search

synthetic-sciences Skill

Retrieves and interprets patent data with the conventions that make counts and claims defensible, covering Google Patents, Lens, EPO Open Patent Services, USPTO data through PatentsView and the Open Data Portal, and WIPO PATENTSCOPE, together with kind codes, DOCDB and INPADOC families, priority versus filing versus publication dates, CPC and IPC classification, claim structure, assignee normalization and the limits of chemistry in patents, and records every query with the date it was run. Use for prior-art checks, freedom-to-operate scoping, technology landscapes, assignee or inventor analyses and patent-derived chemistry; use literature-review for scholarly sources and research-lookup for one quick fact.

synthetic-sciences Bundle

Sample-size and statistical power calculations for planning studies. Use whenever someone asks "how many subjects/samples/replicates do I need", wants an a priori power analysis, a minimum detectable effect (MDE), a power curve, or needs to justify a sample size for a grant, IRB protocol, or pre-registration. Covers closed-form power for t-tests, ANOVA, proportions, correlations, chi-square, and regression, plus simulation-based (Monte Carlo) power for designs with no formula — logistic/Poisson regression, mixed models, cluster-randomized trials, survival, and interactions. Use this skill even when the request only mentions an effect size, alpha, or "80% power" without saying "power analysis" explicitly. For laying out the study (randomization, blocking, factorial/DOE, crossover, sequential designs) use experimental-design; for analyzing data already collected and reporting it use statistical-analysis.

Use for macroeconomic analysis, financial research, policy studies, economic forecasting, and academic research requiring U.S. and international economic indicators.

synthetic-sciences Bundle

Design experiments and studies BEFORE data is collected — choosing a design, randomizing, blocking, and laying out treatment combinations so results are interpretable. Use whenever someone is planning a study, asks how to assign subjects/samples to groups, mentions randomization, blocking, stratification, controls, factorial or fractional-factorial designs, design of experiments (DOE), screening many factors, response-surface optimization, crossover or repeated-measures or split-plot designs, cluster/group randomization, Latin squares, plate layouts, batch/run-order effects, replication vs. pseudoreplication, or sequential/adaptive/group-sequential designs. Trigger even for informal phrasings like "how should I set up this experiment", "how do I avoid confounding", "what's the best way to test these 6 factors", or "assign these mice to conditions". For computing the sample size or power once the design is chosen, use statistical-power; for analyzing data already collected, use statistical-analysis.

synthetic-sciences Bundle

Resolves, verifies and formats references, every citation confirmed against Crossref, OpenAlex, arXiv or PubMed before it enters the bibliography, BibTeX built from resolved metadata, and existing .bib files audited for fabricated or mismatched entries. Use when adding citations to a draft, building or repairing a .bib, checking a manuscript's references, or whenever a claim needs a source attached. Not for finding what to read (use literature-review).

synthetic-sciences Skill

Delegates independent work to worker agents through the Task tool, choosing between the explore scout and the ml, biology, physics, chemistry and data specialists, writing a self-contained brief for a worker that cannot see the conversation, setting boundaries on files and compute, and reading the handoff back critically. Use before dispatching a worker or interpreting its result, and when deciding whether a task should be delegated at all. Never delegate the literature retrieval loop or a step of an experiment loop already underway.

synthetic-sciences Bundle

Turns a research direction into testable hypotheses with predictions, competing explanations and the experiments that discriminate between them, including the design (controls, randomization, blocking), sample size or seed count, the pre-specified analysis, and the result that would falsify each hypothesis. Use when a question needs to become a study, before data is collected or runs are launched, or when an observation needs candidate explanations. For generating directions use brainstorming; for running the loop use autoresearch.

synthetic-sciences Skill

Package results with provenance, reproduction instructions, declared gaps, and the requested output format.

synthetic-sciences Skill

Independently review code, results, claims, or an artifact and return prioritized, evidence-backed findings.

synthetic-sciences Bundle

Reviews a manuscript, proposal, analysis or result the way a careful referee does, reading the whole artifact, checking the methods against the claims, the statistics against the design, the figures against the numbers, and reporting BLOCKING issues separately from observations, with a calibrated recommendation. Use for peer review, critical appraisal of a paper or claim, pre-submission review of the user's own draft, grant review, or evaluating research rigor. For fixing the text afterwards use paper-writing; for an independent second opinion delegate a read to an explore worker.

synthetic-sciences Skill

Compare runs, artifacts, methods, models, or claims on a fair and explicit decision basis.

synthetic-sciences Bundle

Generates and selects research directions, mapping what is known and what is open, producing many candidate ideas by named moves (gap, transfer, inversion, constraint change, scale, failure analysis), then ranking them by tractability and value and committing to a shortlist. Use for open-ended ideation, "what should I work on", finding research gaps, exploring interdisciplinary connections, or choosing among directions. For turning a chosen direction into testable statements use hypotheses.

synthetic-sciences Skill

Answers a focused factual or technical question from current sources with links, a definition, a number, a method's origin, a library's behavior, what a specific paper found, using literature, research_search, webfetch and the scholarly APIs, and knowing when the question is really a literature review. Use for quick grounded lookups during research or writing. Not for surveying a topic (use literature-review) or for verifying a manuscript's citations (use citations).

synthetic-sciences Bundle

Writes and revises machine-learning papers for NeurIPS, ICML, ICLR, ACL, COLM and AAAI, from a research repository or a set of tracked runs to a compiling LaTeX draft in the venue's template, with the contribution stated as claims backed by experiments, ablations and honest baselines. Use for ML or AI conference papers, workshop papers, camera-ready preparation, and rebuttals. For journal articles and other fields use paper-writing; for references use citations; for figures use figures.

synthetic-sciences Bundle

Finds, ranks and reads the literature on a question, the retrieval loop the lead runs itself over OpenAlex, arXiv, Crossref, PubMed and bioRxiv with a fixed budget, deduplication, ranking by topical fit, reading of the load-bearing papers and claim-level links, for related-work sections, prior-art checks, surveys and systematic reviews. Use for "find papers", "what is known about", related work, or a review; escalate to PRISMA screening only when a systematic review is requested. For one quick fact or definition use research-lookup.
