Research Assistant - A reproducible scientific workflow and manuscript builder
22 skills
GitHubSponsored
plan-week
braselog/researchassistant
2
Create a focused weekly plan based on tasks, priorities, and your work patterns. Use when the user types /plan_week, after a weekly review, at the start of a new week, or when feeling overwhelmed by options.
statistical-analysis
braselog/researchassistant
2
Comprehensive statistical analysis toolkit for research. Conduct hypothesis tests (t-test, ANOVA, chi-square), regression, correlation, Bayesian stats, power analysis, assumption checks, and APA reporting. Use when the user asks about statistics, needs help analyzing data, or when writing methods sections that include statistical approaches.
summarize-meeting
braselog/researchassistant
2
Extract action items, decisions, and key points from meeting transcripts. Automatically routes items to tasks.md or GitHub Issues based on complexity. Use when the user types /summarize_meeting or after running /transcribe.
next
braselog/researchassistant
2
Assess current project state and suggest the most valuable next action. The primary entry point for users who aren't sure what to do. Analyzes context, checks for issues, and recommends specific skills or actions.
peer-review
braselog/researchassistant
2
Systematic peer review and self-evaluation toolkit. Evaluate methodology, statistics, experimental design, reproducibility, ethics, and reporting standards. Use during the REVIEW phase to assess manuscript quality before submission, or when reviewing others' work.
weekly-review
braselog/researchassistant
2
Conduct a weekly review of project progress and plan for the upcoming week. Use when the user types /weekly_review, when it's Monday and no review exists for this week, or at the end of the work week. Aggregates daily activity entries and identifies patterns.
wrap-up
braselog/researchassistant
2
End-of-day command to capture what happened, consolidate notes, and set up for tomorrow. Use when the user types /wrap_up, says "end of day", "wrapping up", or "done for the day". Gathers git activity, integrates /note entries, and creates a daily summary in activity.md.
write-background
braselog/researchassistant
2
Draft or update the background/introduction section based on literature in .research/literature/. Use when the user types /write_background, after completing literature review, or when background.md is empty but literature files exist.
write-results
braselog/researchassistant
2
Draft the results section from figures and their captions. Builds a coherent narrative from visual evidence. Use when the user types /write_results, when figures exist with captions, or after methods section is complete.
hypothesis-generation
braselog/researchassistant
2
Generate testable scientific hypotheses from observations, data, or research questions. Develop competing explanations, design experiments, and formulate predictions. Use during the PLANNING phase or when developing research aims.
deep-research
braselog/researchassistant
2
Conduct a thorough literature search on a topic with verified citations. Use when the user types /deep_research, asks to "research a topic", "find papers on", or needs literature review. CRITICAL - Never fabricate citations. Every claim must have a verifiable source.
exploratory-data-analysis
braselog/researchassistant
2
Perform comprehensive exploratory data analysis on research data. Automatically analyze data structure, quality, distributions, and generate insights. Use when the user provides a dataset, asks to "explore data", "analyze this file", or needs to understand their data before formal analysis.
literature-review
braselog/researchassistant
2
Conduct comprehensive, systematic literature reviews using multiple databases (PubMed, bioRxiv, Semantic Scholar, OpenAlex). Creates documented searches, synthesizes findings thematically, verifies citations, and generates professional markdown reports with multiple citation styles (APA, Nature, Vancouver). Use when the user needs thorough literature research or types /deep_research.
monthly-review
braselog/researchassistant
2
Conduct a monthly review of project alignment and progress toward aims. Use when the user types /monthly_review, at the start of a new month, after completing a major milestone, or when uncertain about project direction.
note
braselog/researchassistant
2
Quick capture for thoughts, observations, or ideas during research sessions. Use when the user types /note or wants to capture a quick thought without context-switching. Logs timestamped notes to activity.md. Supports both explicit /note command and natural language like "make a note" or "jot down".
quarterly-review
braselog/researchassistant
2
Conduct a quarterly review of your overall research mission and direction. This is a user-level review stored in ~/.researchAssistant/. Use when the user types /quarterly_review, every 3 months, after major project milestones, or when questioning research direction.
review-script
braselog/researchassistant
2
Review a script for documentation quality, code standards, and reproducibility. Helps ensure code is ready for the methods section. Use when the user types /review_script, after writing a new script, before writing methods, or when passive checks flag undocumented scripts.
scientific-visualization
braselog/researchassistant
2
Create publication-quality scientific figures with matplotlib, seaborn, and plotly. Includes multi-panel layouts, error bars, significance markers, colorblind-safe palettes, and journal-specific export (PDF/EPS/TIFF). Use when creating figures for manuscripts, presentations, or any research visualization.
scientific-writing
braselog/researchassistant
2
Write scientific manuscripts with proper structure (IMRAD), citations (APA/AMA/Vancouver), figures/tables, and reporting guidelines (CONSORT/STROBE/PRISMA). Use when drafting any manuscript section, improving writing clarity, or preparing for journal submission.
task
braselog/researchassistant
2
Rapid task capture without breaking flow. Use when the user types /task or wants to quickly add a todo item to tasks.md. Supports priority flags (!high, !low). Use this instead of /note for action items.
