Expert startup business analyst specializing in market sizing, financial modeling, competitive analysis, and strategic planning for early-stage companies. Use PROACTIVELY when the user asks about market opportunity, TAM/SAM/SOM, financial projections, unit economics, competitive landscape, team planning, startup metrics, or business strategy for pre-seed through Series A startups.
This skill should be used when the user asks to "plan team structure", "determine hiring needs", "design org chart", "calculate compensation", "plan equity allocation", or requests organizational design and headcount planning for a startup.
End-to-end bulk RNA-seq orchestrator — takes raw FASTQ reads through QC and trimming (FastQC, fastp/Trim Galore), alignment and quantification (STAR, Salmon, featureCounts), assembles a gene-level counts matrix, then hands off to differential expression (pydeseq2), pathway/GSEA enrichment (pathway-enrichment), and publication figures (scientific-visualization). Use whenever the user has bulk RNA-seq reads or quant output and wants a complete, reproducible differential-expression workflow — e.g. "analyze my RNA-seq", "FASTQ to DESeq2", "run nf-core/rnaseq", "STAR/Salmon quantification", "build a counts matrix for DESeq2", or "go from reads to differentially expressed genes and enriched pathways". Routes between an nf-core/rnaseq (Nextflow) path and a standalone STAR/Salmon path, and covers experimental design, strandedness, and QC gates. For single-cell RNA-seq use the scanpy skill instead.
Generate project status reports from Jira issues and publish to Confluence. When an agent needs to: (1) Create a status report for a project, (2) Summarize project progress or updates, (3) Generate weekly/daily reports from Jira, (4) Publish status summaries to Confluence, or (5) Analyze project blockers and completion.

Google Workflow: Today's meetings + open tasks as a standup summary.
Read event data from a Google Sheets spreadsheet and create Google Calendar entries for each row.
Create professional, dark-themed SVG diagrams of any type — architecture diagrams, flowcharts, sequence diagrams, structural diagrams, mind maps, timelines, illustrative/conceptual diagrams, and more. Use this skill whenever the user asks for any kind of technical or conceptual diagram, visualization of a system, process flow, data flow, component relationship, network topology, decision tree, org chart, state machine, or any visual representation of structure/logic/process. Also trigger when the user says "画个图" "画一个架构图" "diagram" "flowchart" "sequence diagram" "draw me a ..." or uploads content and asks to visualize it. Output is always a standalone .svg file.
How to use it
Take anthropics/status-report from the repository into ~/.claude/skills for personal
use, or into .claude/skills inside a project.
The agent identifies a skill by the name field in its header. Two skills with the
same name cannot sit side by side — one of them will be ignored.
