Citation Management searches Google Scholar and PubMed for papers, extracts accurate metadata, validates citations, and generates properly formatted BibTeX entries. Use it when you need to find papers, verify citation information, convert DOIs to BibTeX, or ensure reference accuracy in scientific writing.

Experimental Design plans experiments and studies before data collection, choosing a design, randomizing, blocking, and laying out treatment combinations so results are interpretable. Use it when assigning subjects to groups, screening factors, or setting up factorial or response-surface designs.

Exploratory Data Analysis performs comprehensive exploratory data analysis on scientific data files in over 200 formats, detecting file type, assessing quality, and generating markdown reports. Use it to understand structure, content, and quality before downstream analysis.

Hypothesis Generation formulates testable hypotheses from observations and data, proposes mechanisms, and designs experiments to test them. Use it for scientific inquiry, literature synthesis, and experimental planning across domains.

Paper Lookup searches 10 academic literature APIs—PubMed, PMC, bioRxiv, medRxiv, arXiv, OpenAlex, Crossref, Semantic Scholar, CORE, and Unpaywall—and returns reproducible results with provenance. Use it to find papers, citations, DOIs, abstracts, full text, open-access PDFs, preprints, or author publications.

Peer Review evaluates scientific manuscripts and grant proposals using structured checklists for methodology, statistics, and reporting standards. Use when writing formal peer reviews with constructive feedback.

Requesting Code Review dispatches a code reviewer subagent with precisely crafted context to catch issues before they cascade. Use it after completing tasks, implementing major features, or before merging to verify work meets requirements.

Scholar Evaluation applies the ScholarEval framework to systematically assess research papers, proposals, and literature reviews across key quality dimensions including problem formulation, methodology, analysis, and writing, with quantitative scoring and actionable feedback.

Scientific Brainstorming guides open-ended research ideation sessions, helping scientists explore interdisciplinary connections, challenge assumptions, and identify research gaps before specific data or observations exist.

Scientific Critical Thinking evaluates scientific claims and evidence quality, applying methods like GRADE and Cochrane Risk of Bias to assess experimental design, statistical validity, biases, and confounding. Use it when reviewing research papers, planning studies, or conducting systematic reviews.

Scientific Schematics generates publication-quality scientific diagrams using Nano Banana 2 AI with Gemini 3.1 Pro Preview quality review. Use it for neural network architectures, flowcharts, biological pathways, and system diagrams without manual drawing.

Scientific Visualization creates publication-ready scientific figures with multi-panel layouts, error bars, significance annotations, and colorblind-safe palettes. Use it when preparing journal submissions with specific formatting requirements for Nature, Science, or Cell.
