Representative sources

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

tooluniverse-chemical-safety

mims-harvard/ToolUniverse

Chemical safety and toxicology assessment integrating ADMET-AI predictions, CTD toxicogenomics, PubChemTox experimental data, GHS/IARC hazard classification, and exposure-context analysis. Use for chemical hazard identification, occupational/consumer-product toxicity, dose-response evaluation, and acute (LD50) vs chronic toxicity assessment. Distinguishes drug toxicity from environmental chemical toxicity.

detect-common-wetlab-errors

Detects common wet-lab procedural and safety errors from XR or fixed-camera lab video. Identifies pipette volume deviations, forgotten reagent additions, uncapped tubes, contamination risks, sample mix-ups, and other observable hazards. Outputs structured JSON with error type, timestamp, severity, and corrective action suggestions for real-time alerts or post-hoc audit.

community-resilience-builder

FerroxLabs/wayland

CERT team participation, neighborhood preparedness plans, mutual aid networks, community emergency response training, and strategies for building collective disaster resilience Use when the user asks about community resilience builder, related techniques, best practices, or needs guidance in this domain. Do NOT use when the request is outside the scope of community resilience builder or requires a different specialized skill.

iso-13485-certification

Comprehensive toolkit for preparing ISO 13485 certification documentation for medical device Quality Management Systems. Use when users need help with ISO 13485 QMS documentation, including (1) conducting gap analysis of existing documentation, (2) creating Quality Manuals, (3) developing required procedures and work instructions, (4) preparing Medical Device Files, (5) understanding ISO 13485 requirements, or (6) identifying missing documentation for medical device certification. Also use when users mention medical device regulations, QMS certification, FDA QMSR, EU MDR, or need help with quality system documentation.
