When NOT To Use

Delivery-performance metrics (use minister:dora-metrics)
Approving a release (use minister:release-health-gates)

Overview

Turns tracker data and GitHub board metadata into initiative-level summaries. Provides markdown helpers and CSV exports for pasting into issues, PRs, or Discussions.

Ritual

Capture work via tracker.py add or sync from GitHub Projects.
Review blockers/highlights using the Blocker Radar table.
Generate GitHub comment via tracker.py status --github-comment or module snippets.
Cross-link the weekly Status Template and share with stakeholders.

Key Metrics

| Metric | Description |

|--------|-------------|

| Completion % | Done tasks / total tasks per initiative. |

| Avg Task % | Mean completion percent for all in-flight tasks. |

| Burn Rate | Hours burned per week (auto-calculated). |

| Risk Hotlist | Tasks flagged priority=High or due date in past. |

GitHub Integrations

Links every task to an issue/PR URL.
Supports auto-labeling by referencing phase in the tracker record.
Encourages posting digests to coordination issues or PR timelines.

Exit Criteria

All initiatives represented with updated metrics.
Markdown digest pasted into relevant GitHub thread.
Risk follow-ups filed as issues with owners and due dates.

Troubleshooting

Common Issues

If metrics appear outdated, ensure tracker.py has successfully synced with GitHub. If the Markdown digest renders incorrectly in GitHub, check for unescaped characters in task titles or missing newlines between table rows.

D3 Viz

by chrisvoncsefalvay

×3

Creating interactive data visualisations using d3.js. This skill should be used when creating custom charts, graphs, network diagrams, geographic visualisations, or any complex SVG-based data visualisation that requires fine-grained control over visual elements, transitions, or interactions. Use this for bespoke visualisations beyond standard charting libraries, whether in React, Vue, Svelte, vanilla JavaScript, or any other environment.

Comprehensive Python library for astronomy and astrophysics. This skill should be used when working with astronomical data including celestial coordinates, physical units, FITS files, cosmological calculations, time systems, tables, world coordinate systems (WCS), and astronomical data analysis. Use when tasks involve coordinate transformations, unit conversions, FITS file manipulation, cosmological distance calculations, time scale conversions, or astronomical data processing.

Instrument Data To Allotrope

by anthropics

vendor ×2

Convert laboratory instrument output files (PDF, CSV, Excel, TXT) to Allotrope Simple Model (ASM) JSON format or flattened 2D CSV. Use this skill when scientists need to standardize instrument data for LIMS systems, data lakes, or downstream analysis. Supports auto-detection of instrument types. Outputs include full ASM JSON, flattened CSV for easy import, and exportable Python code for data engineers. Common triggers include converting instrument files, standardizing lab data, preparing data for upload to LIMS/ELN systems, or generating parser code for production pipelines.

Quantum mechanics simulations and analysis using QuTiP (Quantum Toolbox in Python). Use when working with quantum systems including: (1) quantum states (kets, bras, density matrices), (2) quantum operators and gates, (3) time evolution and dynamics (Schrödinger, master equations, Monte Carlo), (4) open quantum systems with dissipation, (5) quantum measurements and entanglement, (6) visualization (Bloch sphere, Wigner functions), (7) steady states and correlation functions, or (8) advanced methods (Floquet theory, HEOM, stochastic solvers). Handles both closed and open quantum systems across various domains including quantum optics, quantum computing, and condensed matter physics.
