▌
Scoop Check · microsoft bundle
Check whether a proposed research novelty (given a problem statement and claimed idea/novelty) overlaps with existing published work. TRIGGER when the user asks to verify research novelty, check if an idea is new, compare a proposed contribution to prior art, do a literature/prior-art search for a specific claim, or assess whether a paper idea has been scooped. DO NOT TRIGGER for general literature reviews unrelated to a specific novelty claim, or for writing related-work sections of an already-validated idea.

Paper2video · microsoft bundle
Turn a research paper, a paper2assets package, or an existing PPT deck into a narrated MP4 video by fully delegating slide authoring to the installed ppt-master skill and fully delegating rendering, subtitles, timeline assembly, and strict media QA to the installed pptx2video skill and its public CLI. Resolves one explicit animation-trigger decision (on-click or after-previous) and hands it to both child skills so the delivered PPTX and the delivered MP4 never disagree, then audits the final PPTX's native p:timing tree to prove the handoff held. Use when the user wants a paper turned into a video, wants /paper2video, or wants a narrated MP4 plus editable PPTX from a paper2assets bundle.

Paper2poster · microsoft bundle
Render a pre-extracted paper's structured 9-section spec (`paper_spec.md`) into a single-page HTML academic poster, fit the layout to the page via an iterative measured-fill loop, and export it to print-ready PDF + PNG thumbnail. Requires the upstream `paper2assets` skill to have produced an output bundle with `manifest.json` at the root and an `assets/` folder holding the paper metadata and media. Use when the user wants an HTML poster, PDF/PNG export, or PPTX from extracted paper assets, for example "render the poster", "make the poster from this spec", "export poster to PDF", or "paper2poster". The three skills paper2assets → paper2poster → html2pptx run in sequence, each invokable on its own.

▌
Idea Quality · microsoft bundle
Score the QUALITY of a research idea at the idea stage — given a Markdown file with Title / Motivation / Method sections (no experiments needed), produce a per-axis quality assessment with cited evidence and an overall 0–100 score plus a verdict; or, given two such idea files, a blind head-to-head comparison. TRIGGER when the user asks "how good is this idea", "rate / score / grade this research idea or proposal", "review my idea .md before I write it up", "is this contribution strong enough to pursue", "which of these two idea files is stronger", or hands over an idea Markdown file (Title/Motivation/Method) and wants a quality judgment. Use this even when the user does not say the word "score" but clearly wants an assessment of how strong an idea is. DO NOT trigger for prior-art / overlap / "is this novel vs existing work" checks (that is a literature-collision task), for full reviews of finished papers that already have results, or for generating the idea itself.

Html2pptx · microsoft bundle
Convert a rendered HTML page (especially A0 conference posters) into a native PowerPoint .pptx with editable text + native shapes — NOT a PNG-in-slide. Walks the live DOM via headless chromium, extracts BLOCK-level text containers (p/h1-h6/li/td) as TextBoxes with inline <strong>/<em> as mixed-style Runs, <img> as Picture with object-fit:contain respected (plus white-tile decoration under transparent-PNG logos), CSS ::before/::after generated content (e.g. 'So what →' callouts) as inherited-style runs, SVG via cairosvg rasterization, decorative <div>/<section> with bg/border/gradient/box-shadow as Rectangle/RoundedRect with matching fill (solid + linear-gradient + outer shadow). All CSS colors (including color-mix/oklab/color()) normalized via canvas. CSS hyphens:auto becomes OOXML soft hyphens via pyphen. CSS line-height absolute Pt for paragraph spacing. Native OOXML bullets with hanging indent. Optional Claude-vision fidelity auditor runs by default (toggle with `--no-vision-audit`); diffs HTML truth vs PP

Webgpu Local Testing · microsoft
Build and run ONNX Runtime WebGPU provider tests on Linux WITHOUT a real GPU, using a software Vulkan adapter (Mesa lavapipe). Use when you need to exercise WebGPU EP kernels off-Mac — the Linux webgpu CI leg is build-only, so software Vulkan is how you actually run WebGPU correctness tests locally. SCOPE - lavapipe only validates host-side enforce/shape bugs and MatMul-free kernels; any graph containing MatMul (including the expanded-Attention node tests) crashes lavapipe and runs ONLY on macOS-arm64 Metal, which is the source of truth for those. Covers install (dnf on Azure Linux), the --use_webgpu build flag, the onnxruntime_provider_test target, VK_ICD_FILENAMES, and the lavapipe MatMul crash gotcha.

Also covers disk-space frugality on shared GPU dev boxes.

Contrib Op Shape Inference Memory Safety · microsoft
Audit and fix out-of-range output writes in ONNX Runtime operator shape-inference functions. Use when reviewing or fixing a contrib (or standard) op TypeAndShapeInference where a getNumOutputs() guard precedes a write to a higher output index - optional trailing outputs make a smaller output count schema-valid, so getOutputType(index) can run one past the declared outputs at Graph::Resolve.

Migrate Vstest To Mtp · microsoft
Migrates .NET test projects from VSTest to Microsoft.Testing.Platform (MTP). Use when user asks to "migrate to MTP", "switch from VSTest", "enable Microsoft.Testing.Platform", "use MTP runner", or mentions EnableMSTestRunner, EnableNUnitRunner, or UseMicrosoftTestingPlatformRunner. USE FOR: MTP behavioral differences vs VSTest (exit code 8, zero tests discovered, --ignore-exit-code, TESTINGPLATFORM_EXITCODE_IGNORE), conditioning OutputType=Exe to test projects when centralizing MTP properties in Directory.Build.props. Supports MSTest, NUnit, xUnit.net v2 (via YTest.MTP.XUnit2), and xUnit.net v3 (native MTP). Covers runner enablement, CLI argument translation, xUnit.net v3 filter migration (--filter-class, --filter-trait, --filter-query), Directory.Build.props and global.json config, CI/CD pipeline updates, and MTP extension packages. DO NOT USE FOR: migrating between test frameworks (MSTest/xUnit/NUnit), xUnit.net v2 to v3 API migration, MSTest version upgrades, TFM upgrades, or UWP/WinUI test projects.
