>- Determines which region-specific knowledge source(s) to search based on the user's location. You MUST invoke this skill BEFORE calling the KnowledgeSearch tool, and pass the chosen source(s) as its `sources` parameter.

Pick the correct region-specific knowledge source(s) for a query based on the
user's location, so answers are grounded in content that is accurate for
where the user is. Always do this BEFORE calling the KnowledgeSearch tool, and
pass the chosen source(s) as the sources parameter of that call — on every
knowledge-grounded question. Policies, benefits, pricing, legal/compliance,
support hours, and product availability frequently differ by country or region,
so read from the source that matches the user's location before answering.
| Source | Use when the user is located in... |
| --- | --- |
| Global | Any location, for content that is the same everywhere (fallback / default). |
| Americas | United States, Canada, Mexico, Central & South America. |
| EMEA | Europe, the Middle East, and Africa. |
| APAC | Asia, Australia, and the Pacific. |
Integration with protocols.io API for managing scientific protocols. This skill should be used when working with protocols.io to search, create, update, or publish protocols; manage protocol steps and materials; handle discussions and comments; organize workspaces; upload and manage files; or integrate protocols.io functionality into workflows. Applicable for protocol discovery, collaborative protocol development, experiment tracking, lab protocol management, and scientific documentation.
Analyzes job descriptions and generates tailored resumes that highlight relevant experience, skills, and achievements to maximize interview chances
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 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.
