Just tell me who to research:
I'll run web searches immediately. If you have enrichment or CRM connected, I'll pull that data too.
Connect your tools to supercharge this skill:
| Connector | What It Adds | |-----------|--------------| | Enrichment | Verified emails, phone numbers, tech stack, org chart, funding details | | CRM | Prior relationship history, past opportunities, existing contacts, notes |
No connectors? No problem. Web search provides solid research for any company or person.

Identify what to research:
- "Research Stripe" → Company research
- "Look up John Smith at Acme" → Person + company
- "Who is the CTO at Notion" → Role-based search
- "Intel on acme.com" → Domain-based lookup
Run these searches:
1. "[Company name]" → Homepage, about page
2. "[Company name] news" → Recent announcements
3. "[Company name] funding" → Investment history
4. "[Company name] careers" → Hiring signals
5. "[Person name] [Company] LinkedIn" → Profile info
6. "[Company name] product" → What they sell
7. "[Company name] customers" → Who they serve
Extract:
If enrichment tools available:
1. Enrich company → Firmographics, funding, tech stack
2. Search people → Org chart, contact list
3. Enrich person → Email, phone, background
4. Get signals → Intent data, hiring velocity
Enrichment adds:
If CRM available:
1. Search for account by domain
2. Get related contacts
3. Get opportunity history
4. Get activity timeline
CRM adds:
1. Combine all sources
2. Prioritize enrichment data over web (more accurate)
3. Add CRM context if exists
4. Identify qualification signals
5. Generate talking points
6. Recommend approach
Focus on: Business overview, news, hiring, leadership
Focus on: Background, role, LinkedIn activity, talking points
Focus on: Product comparison, positioning, win/loss patterns
Focus on: Attendee backgrounds, recent news, relationship history
testing
Performs quality control on single-cell RNA-seq data (.h5ad or .h5 files) using scverse best practices with MAD-based filtering and comprehensive visualizations. Use when users request QC analysis, filtering low-quality cells, assessing data quality, or following scverse/scanpy best practices for single-cell analysis.
tools
Deep learning for single-cell analysis using scvi-tools. This skill should be used when users need (1) data integration and batch correction with scVI/scANVI, (2) ATAC-seq analysis with PeakVI, (3) CITE-seq multi-modal analysis with totalVI, (4) multiome RNA+ATAC analysis with MultiVI, (5) spatial transcriptomics deconvolution with DestVI, (6) label transfer and reference mapping with scANVI/scArches, (7) RNA velocity with veloVI, or (8) any deep learning-based single-cell method. Triggers include mentions of scVI, scANVI, totalVI, PeakVI, MultiVI, DestVI, veloVI, sysVI, scArches, variational autoencoder, VAE, batch correction, data integration, multi-modal, CITE-seq, multiome, reference mapping, latent space.
testing
This skill should be used when scientists need help with research problem selection, project ideation, troubleshooting stuck projects, or strategic scientific decisions. Use this skill when users ask to pitch a new research idea, work through a project problem, evaluate project risks, plan research strategy, navigate decision trees, or get help choosing what scientific problem to work on. Typical requests include "I have an idea for a project", "I'm stuck on my research", "help me evaluate this project", "what should I work on", or "I need strategic advice about my research".
development
Run nf-core bioinformatics pipelines (rnaseq, sarek, atacseq) on sequencing data. Use when analyzing RNA-seq, WGS/WES, or ATAC-seq data—either local FASTQs or public datasets from GEO/SRA. Triggers on nf-core, Nextflow, FASTQ analysis, variant calling, gene expression, differential expression, GEO reanalysis, GSE/GSM/SRR accessions, or samplesheet creation.
