Prerequisites
Verify authentication before fetching logs:
npx base44 whoami
If not authenticated or token expired, instruct user to run npx base44 login.
Must be run from the project directory (where base44/.app.jsonc exists):
cat base44/.app.jsonc

Troubleshooting Flow
1. Check Recent Errors
Start by pulling the latest errors across all functions:
npx base44 logs --level error
2. Drill Into a Specific Function
If you know which function is failing:
npx base44 logs --function <function_name> --level error
3. Inspect a Time Range
Correlate with user-reported issue timestamps:
npx base44 logs --function <function_name> --since <start_time> --until <end_time>
4. Analyze the Logs
- Look for stack traces and error messages in the output
- Check timestamps to correlate with user-reported issues
- Use
--limitto fetch more entries if the default 50 isn't enough

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.
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.
Query the CELLxGENE Census (61M+ cells) programmatically. Use when you need expression data across tissues, diseases, or cell types from the largest curated single-cell atlas. Best for population-scale queries, reference atlas comparisons. For analyzing your own data use scanpy or scvi-tools.
How to use it
Take openai/base44-troubleshooter from the repository into ~/.claude/skills for personal
use, or into .claude/skills inside a project.
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.
The instructions reference npx.
Without those the skill loads but fails at the first command.
