Build a comprehensive multi-section data analysis report for battery cells whose measurements live on the Ionworks platform. Use when the user asks to "build a report", "summarize the data", "characterize cells", "create a data overview", "make an analysis PDF" for one or more cell designs — or when they hand over a dataset and ask "what's in it / what do we have / what does the BOL performance look like / how does it age". Produces a markdown + PDF with rate capability, DCIR, OCV, GITT/entropic, aging, and gap-analysis sections. Strongly prefer this skill whenever there is platform-resident measurement data and the user wants either a full report or any subset of these characterization sections.
Query the Ionworks API /discovery endpoints before any API operation. Use when the user asks to interact with the Ionworks API, battery data, cell specifications, measurements, simulations, pipelines, or UCP protocols. Triggers: "ionworks", "battery data", "cell spec", "measurement", "simulation", "pipeline", "UCP", "cycler", "SDK", "Python client".
Fit Equivalent Circuit Models (ECM) to battery cycling data and save the result as a Parameterized Model. Use when the user wants to parameterize an ECM, fit R0/RC pairs, fit OCV from cycling data, or turn measurements/files into a parameterized model. Triggers: "ECM", "equivalent circuit", "RC pair", "R0", "fit OCV", "ECM parameterization".
Build concentration-dependent electrolyte transport parameters (conductivity, diffusivity, cation transference number) from a material property dataset and feed them to a pipeline DirectEntry. Use when the user wants concentration-dependent electrolyte properties in a fit or simulation, fit a Landesfeind diffusivity curve to electrolyte data, or convert an electrolyte transport dataset into pybamm parameters. Triggers: "electrolyte conductivity", "electrolyte diffusivity", "transference number", "concentration-dependent", "Landesfeind", "electrolyte transport".
Install and configure the Ionworks Python SDK: pick the right package, set the API key, verify the install, and keep it up to date. Use when the user wants to install ionworks, set up the SDK for the first time, configure API credentials, check the installed version, or upgrade. Triggers: "install ionworks", "set up SDK", "API key", "IONWORKS_API_KEY", "upgrade ionworks", "pip install ionworks", "uv add ionworks", "getting started".
Work with battery cell data: specifications, instances, and measurements. Use when creating, reading, updating, or deleting cell specs, instances, or measurements, or when fetching time series, steps, or cycles data. Triggers: "cell spec", "cell instance", "measurement", "time series", "steps", "cycles", "battery data", "cell data".
Manage projects, studies, models, parameterized models, and optimizations. Use when the user wants to create or manage projects, organize simulations into studies, work with custom or parameterized models, or run optimizations. Triggers: "project", "study", "model", "parameterized model", "optimization", "custom model".
Process raw battery cycling data into the ionworks standardized format (parquet + JSON) or BDF. Use when the user wants to convert data from cyclers (Arbin, Maccor, Basytec, Neware, etc.), MATLAB files, CSVs, JSON, or any other raw format; adds a new open-source dataset; or mentions ionworksdata transforms, step summaries, the time_series/steps parquet format, or the BDF (.bdf) format.
