Turn an analysis request into a Slurm-ready execution plan with commands, resource assumptions, and job structure.
Scale a buffer recipe to a target volume and compute component masses/volumes.
Save a fetched summary or document to the knowledge base for later retrieval (e.g. after PubMed/UniProt lookup).
Interpret scRNA clusters using marker genes and suggest cell type or state.
Critically evaluate a perturbation hypothesis — challenge assumptions, propose negative controls, and flag confounders.

User needs a plate layout for experiments (e.g. perturbations, replicates, controls on 96/384 well plate).
Parse: Get plate size and list of conditions (with replicate counts if given).
Assign wells: Use python_repl to assign each condition to wells (A1–H12 for 96; extend for 384). If randomized, shuffle; if blocked, fill by row or column.
Output: Generate a text or CSV representation: well → condition. Optionally use write_file to save under knowledge/ (e.g. knowledge/plate_maps/plate_001.csv).
Present: Show the map (e.g. grid or table) and note where controls and replicates are.
