- Start from fresh
origin/mainin a clean worktree. Never disturb unrelated
local changes.
- Pick the requested version. If none is given, use the next patch after the
latest vX.Y.Z tag.
- Update
elixir/mix.exssoversion: "X.Y.Z"matches the intended tag.
Search the old version and change other files only when they are true
release-version sources, not examples.
- Run
make -C elixir all, then commit, push, create a PR, and land it. - Fetch the merged
maincommit. Verify itsmix.exsversion, then create an
annotated tag on that exact commit:
git tag -a vX.Y.Z <merged-commit> -m "Symphony vX.Y.Z"
git push origin vX.Y.Z
- Watch
burrito-releaseuntil it finishes. Verify the build, smoke, and
release jobs pass and that the GitHub release has all expected assets.
Do not tag an uncommitted or unmerged revision. Do not move a published tag
without explicit user approval.

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.
