tandem

Creating algorithmic art using p5.js with seeded randomness and interactive parameter exploration. Use this when users request creating art using code, generative art, algorithmic art, flow fields, or particle systems. Create original algorithmic art rather than copying existing artists' work to avoid copyright violations.

Convert laboratory instrument output files (PDF, CSV, Excel, TXT) to Allotrope Simple Model (ASM) JSON format or flattened 2D CSV. Use this skill when scientists need to standardize instrument data for LIMS systems, data lakes, or downstream analysis. Supports auto-detection of instrument types. Outputs include full ASM JSON, flattened CSV for easy import, and exportable Python code for data engineers. Common triggers include converting instrument files, standardizing lab data, preparing data for upload to LIMS/ELN systems, or generating parser code for production pipelines.

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.

Strategic scientific problem selection, project ideation, and troubleshooting based on the Fischbach & Walsh framework.

Deep learning for single-cell analysis using scvi-tools and scverse ecosystem. 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, (7) RNA velocity with veloVI, or (8) QC analysis of single-cell RNA-seq data. Triggers include scVI, scANVI, totalVI, QC, quality control, batch correction, integration, multi-modal.

A conversational framework for systematic scientific problem selection, project ideation, troubleshooting, and strategic decision making.

You MUST use this before any creative work (features, products, content, strategy, systems, or behavior changes). Start by classifying what we’re brainstorming, then run thorough one-question-at-a-time discovery, propose 2–3 approaches, and converge on a validated plan/spec.

Create beautiful visual art in .png and .pdf documents using design philosophy. You should use this skill when the user asks to create a poster, piece of art, design, or other static piece. Create original visual designs, never copying existing artists' work to avoid copyright violations.

Plan and draft competitor comparison and alternative-page strategies for SEO and sales evaluation use cases. Use for "[competitor] alternatives", "you vs competitor", and comparison-page content architecture. Produce deterministic outputs under scripts/marketing/<slug>/ with verified claim handling.

Monitor competitor product pages and alert when prices change.

Create a practical content strategy that connects searchable and shareable content to business goals. Use when planning topics, clusters, editorial calendar, repurposing, and channel priorities. Produce deterministic file outputs under scripts/marketing/<slug>/ and require web research when available.

Improve existing marketing copy through structured editing passes for clarity, voice, proof, specificity, and conversion impact. Use after drafting copy for pages, emails, and campaign assets. Produce deterministic review artifacts under scripts/marketing/<slug>/.

Draft conversion-focused marketing copy for landing pages, homepages, pricing pages, feature pages, and campaign assets. Use when creating first drafts from positioning and audience context. Output file-first drafts under scripts/marketing/<slug>/ with explicit proof and CTA requirements.

Answer data questions -- from quick lookups to full analyses

Build an interactive HTML dashboard with charts, filters, and tables

Create publication-quality visualizations with Python

Profile and explore a dataset to understand its shape, quality, and patterns

QA an analysis before sharing -- methodology, accuracy, and bias checks

Write optimized SQL for your dialect with best practices

Analyze repositories, implement code changes, run tests, and optionally commit.

Use when estimating time, effort, cost, or complexity for features, projects, refactors, and bug backlogs. Produces defensible estimates via triage, decomposition, risk handling, and confidence intervals, with clear assumptions and validation steps.

Summarize important unread emails each morning.

Design and draft lifecycle email sequences such as welcome, onboarding, nurture, re-engagement, and upgrade flows. Use when defining triggers, sequence maps, email copy, and performance metrics. Produce file-first outputs under scripts/marketing/<slug>/ and align with product marketing context.

Combines search results from multiple sources into coherent, deduplicated answers with source attribution.

Combines search results from multiple sources into coherent, deduplicated answers with source attribution. Handles confidence scoring based on freshness and authority, and summarizes large result sets effectively.

Manages connected MCP sources for Tandem search. Detects available sources, guides users to connect new ones, handles source priority ordering, and manages rate limiting awareness.

Query decomposition and multi-source search orchestration. Breaks natural language questions into targeted searches per source, translates queries into source-specific syntax, ranks results by relevance, and handles ambiguity and fallback strategies.

Manages connected MCP sources for enterprise search. Detects available sources and handles source priority ordering.

Generate an income statement with period-over-period comparison and variance analysis

Prepare journal entries with proper debits, credits, and supporting detail

Reconcile GL balances to subledger, bank, or third-party balances

Generate SOX sample selections, testing workpapers, and control assessments

Decompose variances into drivers with narrative explanations and waterfall analysis

Create distinctive, production-grade frontend interfaces with high design quality. Use this skill when the user asks to build web components, pages, artifacts, posters, or applications (examples include websites, landing pages, dashboards, React components, HTML/CSS layouts, or when styling/beautifying any web UI). Generates creative, polished code and UI design that avoids generic AI aesthetics.
