What it does
Benchling Integration When to use Use this skill for Benchling registry entities, sequence imports, inventory, ELN entries, workflow tasks, apps, event-driven integrations, and warehouse analytics. Reviewed 2026-09-30: examples target the released benchling-sdk 1.25.0 and its stable v2 API models. The current authentication guide recommends V3 for new development, while the V3 guide still describes endpoint-specific early access. Confirm your tenant's V3 availability and stability before migrating; these v2 SDK examples must not be mechanically rewritten to V3. SDK imports, model…

- literature-review
K-Dense-AI/scientific-agent-skills
Conducts systematic, scoping, and narrative literature reviews using PubMed, arXiv, bioRxiv, Semantic Scholar, and other appropriate sources. Use for research synthesis, reproducible literature searches, screening, citation checking, or preparing Markdown and PDF reviews. Tracks search coverage, records versus studies, and evidence limitations; supports meta-analysis planning but does not supply a meta-analysis engine.
- citation-management
K-Dense-AI/scientific-agent-skills
Comprehensive citation management for academic research. Search OpenAlex, PubMed, and Google Scholar for papers, extract accurate metadata, validate citations, and generate properly formatted BibTeX entries. This skill should be used when you need to find papers, verify citation information, convert DOIs to BibTeX, or ensure reference accuracy in scientific writing.
- matplotlib
K-Dense-AI/scientific-agent-skills
Creates and customizes scientific plots with Matplotlib. Used for fine-grained control over plot elements, novel plot types, and scientific workflows. Export to PNG/PDF/SVG for publication. For quick statistical plots use seaborn; for interactive plots use plotly; for publication-ready multi-panel figures with journal styling, use scientific-visualization.
- database-lookup
K-Dense-AI/scientific-agent-skills
Queries documented public database APIs with explicit endpoints, filters, pagination, and provenance. Used when a scientific, regulatory, financial, or other database-backed fact must be retrieved reproducibly from a named source rather than inferred from general knowledge.
- exploratory-data-analysis
K-Dense-AI/scientific-agent-skills
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.
- hypothesis-generation
K-Dense-AI/scientific-agent-skills
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.
