Feature ID Derivation
Derive a kebab-case feature ID from the feature description:
- Strip common prefixes: "implement", "add", "create", "build"
- Remove English stop words: "a", "the", "to", "for", "with", "and", "in", "on", "of"
- Convert to kebab-case (lowercase, hyphens between words)
- Limit to 5 hyphenated segments maximum
Examples:
- "Add rate limiting to the API gateway" →
rate-limiting-api-gateway - "OAuth2 upgrade" →
oauth2-upgrade - "Implement a real-time notification system with WebSocket support for mobile and desktop clients" →
real-time-notification-system-websocket
Wave Detection Rules
Check SSOT first, then feature delta:
| Wave | Complete When | In Progress When |
|------|--------------|-----------------|
| DISCOVER | docs/product/jobs.yaml has a validated job for this feature | docs/feature/{id}/discover/ exists but no validated job in SSOT |
| DISCUSS | docs/feature/{id}/discuss/user-stories.md exists and is non-empty | docs/feature/{id}/discuss/ exists but user-stories.md missing or empty |
| DESIGN | docs/product/architecture/brief.md has a section for this feature | docs/feature/{id}/design/ exists but brief.md not updated |
| DEVOPS | docs/product/kpi-contracts.yaml has contracts for this feature | docs/feature/{id}/devops/ exists but no KPI contracts in SSOT |
| DISTILL | tests/acceptance/{id}/ has feature files | docs/feature/{id}/distill/ exists but test files incomplete |
| DELIVER | docs/feature/{id}/deliver/execution-log.json with all roadmap steps at COMMIT/PASS | docs/feature/{id}/deliver/execution-log.json exists with some steps incomplete |
"Not started" = neither SSOT entry nor feature delta directory exist for that wave.

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.
