A bounded sample of popular skills mapped to this occupation, with at most one Skill from each GitHub repository. The complete mapped list follows.

record-what-you-learned

tangxiangru/AutoR

Use when a run is finished and the report is written, after the report is written, to record one reusable lesson for the next run in this field. Covers what counts as a lesson worth passing on, what must never be passed on, and how to write it.

lamm-mit/scienceclaw

Semantic search over critical minerals PDF corpus — rare earth, lithium, cobalt, nickel supply chain, trade policy, extraction, and materials research via Pinecone

post-ocr-cleanup

scdenney/open-science-skills

Clean post-OCR research text. Use for correction, quality assurance, multilingual handling, uncertainty preservation, and provenance-aware cleanup.

basic-measurement

基础测量技能模板，用于演示框架功能。执行简单的参数扫描并返回数据。

record-what-you-learned

tangxiangru/AutoR

Use when a run is finished and the report is written, after the report is written, to record one reusable lesson for the next run in this field. Covers what counts as a lesson worth passing on, what must never be passed on, and how to write it.

reproduce-then-extend

tangxiangru/AutoR

Use when the task is to reproduce, replicate or re-implement a published study, at design time and when reporting results. Covers what a reproduction must report, how to compare against the source study's numbers, and why the reproduction comes before any improvement.

reproducibility-check

tangxiangru/AutoR

Use in Stage 08 (Dissemination) when assembling the release or submission bundle — auditing whether the run's code, data, results and figures are actually reproducible by someone else, writing the readiness checklist and threats-to-validity notes, or deciding what has to be disclosed as not verified.

tangxiangru/AutoR

Use when turning measured results into a table or figure for the paper — building a LaTeX or markdown results table from workspace/results/*.json, deciding what uncertainty to report, choosing which baselines and ablations belong in the main table, or writing a caption that stands alone.

run-the-requested-analysis

tangxiangru/AutoR

Use when the supplied data looks synthetic, degraded, incomplete or wrong, and whenever you are tempted to reframe the study around what you found about the inputs, the harness or the evaluation. Covers what to do with a real data problem without losing the study.

the-canonical-figure

tangxiangru/AutoR

Use when planning figures, at study design and again before writing. Covers the figures a paper in this field is expected to contain, why an original figure does not substitute for a standard one, and how to decide what to draw first.

venue-checklist

tangxiangru/AutoR

Use when the target venue's submission requirements matter — checking a draft against NeurIPS, ICML or ICLR expectations, deciding which required sections (checklist, broader impact, reproducibility, LLM disclosure) the paper needs, or running the Stage 08 submission-readiness review.

lamm-mit/scienceclaw

Semantic search over critical minerals PDF corpus — rare earth, lithium, cobalt, nickel supply chain, trade policy, extraction, and materials research via Pinecone

lamm-mit/scienceclaw

Search OSTI.gov for DOE technical reports on critical minerals, energy, and materials science

post-ocr-cleanup

scdenney/open-science-skills

Clean post-OCR research text. Use for correction, quality assurance, multilingual handling, uncertainty preservation, and provenance-aware cleanup.

basic-measurement

quality-control-analyst

wonsukchoi/domain-experts

Use when a task needs the judgment of a Quality Control Analyst — investigating an out-of-specification (OOS) or out-of-trend (OOT) lab result, deciding whether to invalidate a result or escalate an investigation, reading a control chart for a special-cause signal, checking whether a sampling plan actually supports a lot-disposition call, or reviewing a batch record/CoA for a data-integrity gap.
