IDEA

Use NOAA CO-OPS APIs for tide gauge stations outside the UHSLC network, or when the user explicitly requests NOAA CO-OPS API data. Cross-listed with co-ops-tadc for Tidal Analysis Datum Calculator inputs and official datum comparisons. Do not use CO-OPS as the default source for UHSLC-network tide gauge data.

Use NOAA CO-OPS Tidal Analysis Datum Calculator (TADC) to compute tidal datums from observed water-level time series. Cross-listed with co-ops-api for NOAA CO-OPS station data, high/low waters, monthly means, control station metadata, and official datums.

Retrieve and validate NOAA Coastal Ocean Reanalysis (CORA) V1.1 beta water-level data from public AWS S3 Zarr and Kerchunk holdings for the U.S. East, Gulf, and Caribbean coasts. Use for CORA assimilated water levels, 500 m grid products, daily maximum products, and native-grid products.

Draft IDEA skill files for user review or download. Use when the user asks to create, revise, or propose a specialized IDEA skill; do not modify IDEA runtime files.

Discover, access, and visualize oceanographic, atmospheric, and marine datasets through the AquaView MCP server as a fallback after IDEA's preferred built-in data sources, but before general web search.

Create distinctive, production-grade frontend interfaces with high design quality. Use this skill when the user asks to build web components, pages, artifacts, posters, or applications (examples include websites, landing pages, dashboards, React components, HTML/CSS layouts, or when styling/beautifying any web UI). Generates creative, polished code and UI design that avoids generic AI aesthetics.

Create, edit, compile, or troubleshoot LaTeX documents and generated PDFs in IDEA, including reports, manuscripts, Beamer slides, equations, tables, figures, citations, and .tex-to-PDF workflows.

Design polished, print-ready scientific posters using Python and/or frontend web tools. Use this skill when the user asks for a conference poster, research poster, academic poster, or large-format print layout.
