<!-- Generated from mouse-down.mdx. DO NOT EDIT. -->
The mouseDown() method presses the mouse button at an element's location without releasing it. This is useful for drag operations, custom gestures, or when you need precise control over mouse events. You can either call it on an Element instance or use it directly with a selector.
// Mouse down on an element
await element.mouseDown();
// Mouse down using a selector
await ai.mouseDown('selector');
When called on an Element, no parameters are required.
When called directly on the AI client:
| Parameter | Type | Description |
|-----------|------|-------------|
| selector | string | The selector describing the element where the mouse button should be pressed |
Returns a Promise<void> that resolves when the mouse button is pressed.
// Start dragging an item
const dragItem = await ai.find('file to drag');
await dragItem.mouseDown();
// Move to drop target
const dropTarget = await ai.find('folder to drop into');
await dropTarget.hover();
// Release
await ai.mouseUp();
await ai.mouseDown('draggable card');
await ai.hover('drop zone');
await ai.mouseUp();

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.
