lobster

Develop, extend, and contribute to Lobster AI — the multi-agent self-extending bioinformatics engine. Use when working on Lobster codebase, creating agents/services, understanding architecture, fixing bugs, adding features, or contributing to the open-source project. IMPORTANT: Before creating new agents or packages, follow the planning workflow first (see "What To Do Based On Your Task" → planning-workflow.md). Trigger phrases: "add agent", "create service", "extend lobster", "contribute", "understand architecture", "how does X work in lobster", "fix bug", "add feature", "write tests", "lobster development", "agent development", "bioinformatics code", "build a new agent for", "add support for", "create plugin", "new domain"

Runs bioinformatics analysis with Lobster AI -- single-cell RNA-seq, bulk RNA-seq, genomics (VCF/GWAS), proteomics (mass spec/affinity), metabolomics (LC-MS/GC-MS/NMR), machine learning (feature selection, survival analysis), drug discovery, literature search, dataset discovery, and visualization. Use when working with biological data, omics analysis, or bioinformatics tasks. Covers: H5AD, CSV, VCF, PLINK, 10X, mzML formats, GEO/SRA/PRIDE/MetaboLights accessions. Lobster AI works in two deployment modes: - LOCAL: agents run on-device, you provide an LLM API key - CLOUD: agents run on Omics-OS Cloud (ECS Fargate), managed Bedrock, per-user billing TRIGGER PHRASES: "analyze cells", "search PubMed", "download GEO", "run QC", "cluster", "find markers", "differential expression", "UMAP", "volcano plot", "single-cell", "RNA-seq", "VCF", "GWAS", "proteomics", "mass spec", "metabolomics", "MetaboLights", "LC-MS", "metabolite", "feature selection", "survival analysis", "biomarker", "bioinformatics", "drug discovery"
