Avalonia Zafiro Development

This skill defines the mandatory conventions and behavioral rules for developing cross-platform applications with Avalonia UI and the Zafiro toolkit. These rules prioritize maintainability, correctness, and a functional-reactive approach.

Core Pillars

Functional-Reactive MVVM: Pure MVVM logic using DynamicData and ReactiveUI.
Safety & Predictability: Explicit error handling with Result types and avoidance of exceptions for flow control.
Cross-Platform Excellence: Strictly Avalonia-independent ViewModels and composition-over-inheritance.
Zafiro First: Leverage existing Zafiro abstractions and helpers to avoid redundancy.

Guides

Core Technical Skills & Architecture: Fundamental skills and architectural principles.
Naming & Coding Standards: Rules for naming, fields, and error handling.
Avalonia, Zafiro & Reactive Rules: Specific guidelines for UI, Zafiro integration, and DynamicData pipelines.
Zafiro Shortcuts: Concise mappings for common Rx/Zafiro operations.
Common Patterns: Advanced patterns like RefreshableCollection and Validation.

Procedure Before Writing Code

Search First: Search the codebase for similar implementations or existing Zafiro helpers.
Reusable Extensions: If a helper is missing, propose a new reusable extension method instead of inlining complex logic.
Reactive Pipelines: Ensure DynamicData operators are used instead of plain Rx where applicable.

When to Use

This skill is applicable to execute the workflow or actions described in the overview.

Limitations

Use this skill only when the task clearly matches the scope described above.
Do not treat the output as a substitute for environment-specific validation, testing, or expert review.
Stop and ask for clarification if required inputs, permissions, safety boundaries, or success criteria are missing.

Excalidraw Diagram Generator

by github

vendor ×3

Generate Excalidraw diagrams from natural language descriptions. Use when asked to "create a diagram", "make a flowchart", "visualize a process", "draw a system architecture", "create a mind map", or "generate an Excalidraw file". Supports flowcharts, relationship diagrams, mind maps, and system architecture diagrams. Outputs .excalidraw JSON files that can be opened directly in Excalidraw.

Build and distribute Expo development clients locally or via TestFlight

Use when you have a written implementation plan to execute in a separate session with review checkpoints

Data structure for annotated matrices in single-cell analysis. Use when working with .h5ad files or integrating with the scverse ecosystem. This is the data format skill—for analysis workflows use scanpy; for probabilistic models use scvi-tools; for population-scale queries use cellxgene-census.

Benchling Integration

by christophacham

×3

Benchling R&D platform integration. Access registry (DNA, proteins), inventory, ELN entries, workflows via API, build Benchling Apps, query Data Warehouse, for lab data management automation.

Comprehensive molecular biology toolkit. Use for sequence manipulation, file parsing (FASTA/GenBank/PDB), phylogenetics, and programmatic NCBI/PubMed access (Bio.Entrez). Best for batch processing, custom bioinformatics pipelines, BLAST automation. For quick lookups use gget; for multi-service integration use bioservices.
