Create new skills, modify and improve existing skills, and measure skill performance. Use when users want to create a skill from scratch, edit, or optimize an existing skill, run evals to test a skill, benchmark skill performance with variance analysis, or optimize a skill's description for better triggering accuracy.
Access NCBI GEO for gene expression/genomics data. Search/download microarray and RNA-seq datasets (GSE, GSM, GPL), retrieve SOFT/Matrix files, for transcriptomics and expression analysis.
Bayesian modeling with PyMC. Build hierarchical models, MCMC (NUTS), variational inference, LOO/WAIC comparison, posterior checks, for probabilistic programming and inference.
Multi-objective optimization framework. NSGA-II, NSGA-III, MOEA/D, Pareto fronts, constraint handling, benchmarks (ZDT, DTLZ), for engineering design and optimization problems.
Statistical modeling toolkit. OLS, GLM, logistic, ARIMA, time series, hypothesis tests, diagnostics, AIC/BIC, for rigorous statistical inference and econometric analysis.
Add unsigned integer (uint) type support to PyTorch operators by updating AT_DISPATCH macros. Use when adding support for uint16, uint32, uint64 types to operators, kernels, or when user mentions enabling unsigned types, barebones unsigned types, or uint support.
Convert PyTorch AT_DISPATCH macros to AT_DISPATCH_V2 format in ATen C++ code. Use when porting AT_DISPATCH_ALL_TYPES_AND*, AT_DISPATCH_FLOATING_TYPES*, or other dispatch macros to the new v2 API. For ATen kernel files, CUDA kernels, and native operator implementations.
Write docstrings for PyTorch functions and methods following PyTorch conventions. Use when writing or updating docstrings in PyTorch code.

The agent identifies a skill by the name field in its header. Two skills with the
same name cannot sit side by side — one of them will be ignored.
