bluesky-data-collection

a5c-ai/babysitter

Bluesky experimental orchestration skill for scan automation, data collection, and metadata management

fieldwork-methods

Tibsfox/gsd-skill-creator

Field observation, data collection, and research methods for geographic inquiry. Covers site selection and sampling strategies, field observation techniques (landscape reading, transects, quadrats), survey and interview methods for human geography, GPS and field mapping, environmental monitoring and instrumentation, data recording and field notebooks, ethical considerations in fieldwork, and the integration of field data with GIS analysis. Use when planning geographic field research, designing data collection protocols, evaluating field evidence, or connecting field observations to broader geographic analysis.

geological-technician

wonsukchoi/domain-experts

Use when a task needs the judgment of a Geological Technician — logging drill core and computing RQD, running or reviewing an exploration QAQC sample-insertion scheme (blanks/duplicates/standards), describing and classifying a soil or rock sample against ASTM criteria, or flagging a field data-quality problem (low core recovery, instrument drift, chain-of-custody break) for the geologist of record.

roohe/agentic-super-skills

Alluvial gold recovery using panning, sluicing, and classification. Covers site reading (geological indicators, stream dynamics, pay streak location), panning technique, sluice box operation, and responsible extraction practices. Use when prospecting in an area with known or suspected alluvial gold deposits, sampling a stream to test for gold presence, maximizing recovery during recreational panning, or assessing a site's gold potential before investing more effort.

mining-grade-deposits-exploration-and-reserves

the-vibey-project/vibey

Use for the framing that governs every extraction claim: grade, tonnage and why ore is an economic rather than a geological category, how deposits form, exploration from geochemistry through drilling programmes, and the resources-versus-reserves distinction and the reporting codes that make it enforceable. Includes the router for the whole resource extraction reference.
