End-to-end copy number variant detection workflow from BAM files. Covers CNVkit analysis for exome/targeted sequencing with visualization and annotation. Use when detecting copy number alterations from sequencing data.
npx skills add https://github.com/BioTender-max/awesome-bio-agent-skills --skill bio-workflows-cnv-pipeline
Reference examples tested with: CNVkit 0.9+, GATK 4.5+
Before using code patterns, verify installed versions match. If versions differ:
<tool> --version then <tool> --help to confirm flagsIf code throws ImportError, AttributeError, or TypeError, introspect the installed
package and adapt the example to match the actual API rather than retrying.
"Detect copy number variants from my sequencing data" → Orchestrate CNVkit coverage analysis, segmentation, calling, visualization, and annotation for exome or targeted sequencing panels.

| segment | --method | cbs (default) |
| call | --ploidy | 2 (adjust if known) |
| call | --purity | Estimate if tumor |
| genemetrics | --threshold | 0.2 |
| Issue | Likely Cause | Solution |
|-------|--------------|----------|
| Noisy signal | Low coverage | Increase sequencing depth |
| No CNVs | Flat reference, normal sample | Check reference creation |
| Many small CNVs | Over-segmentation | Increase segment min size |
| Batch effects | Different capture kits | Match samples to correct reference |

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. Queries Jira issues, categorizes by status/priority, and creates formatted reports for delivery managers and executives.
Evaluates market bubble risk through quantitative data-driven analysis using the revised Minsky/Kindleberger framework v2.1. Prioritizes objective metrics (Put/Call, VIX, margin debt, breadth, IPO data) over subjective impressions. Features strict qualitative adjustment criteria with confirmation bias prevention. Supports practical investment decisions with mandatory data collection and mechanical scoring. Use when user asks about bubble risk, valuation concerns, or profit-taking timing.
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.
