Modal

Cloud computing platform for running Python on GPUs and serverless infrastructure. Use when deploying AI/ML models, running GPU-accelerated workloads, serving web endpoints, scheduling batch jobs, or scaling Python code to the cloud. Use this skill whenever the user mentions Modal, serverless GPU compute, deploying ML models to the cloud, serving inference endpoints, running batch processing in the cloud, or needs to scale Python workloads beyond their local machine. Also use when the user wants to run code on H100s, A100s, or other cloud GPUs, or needs to create a web API for a model.

PackageProtein Engineering

adaptyv

Cloud laboratory platform for automated protein testing and validation. Use when designing proteins and needing experimental validation including binding assays, expression testing, thermostability measurements, enzyme activity assays, or protein sequence optimization. Also use for submitting experiments via API, tracking experiment status, downloading results, optimizing protein sequences for better expression using computational tools (NetSolP, SoluProt, SolubleMPNN, ESM), or managing protein design workflows with wet-lab validation.

PackageMachine Learning

aeon

This skill should be used for time series machine learning tasks including classification, regression, clustering, forecasting, anomaly detection, segmentation, and similarity search. Use when working with temporal data, sequential patterns, or time-indexed observations requiring specialized algorithms beyond standard ML approaches. Particularly suited for univariate and multivariate time series analysis with scikit-learn compatible APIs.

PackageBioinformatics

anndata

Data structure for annotated matrices in single-cell analysis. Use when working with .h5ad files or integrating with the scverse ecosystem. This is the data format skill—for analysis workflows use scanpy; for probabilistic models use scvi-tools; for population-scale queries use cellxgene-census.

PackageBioinformatics

arboreto

Infer gene regulatory networks (GRNs) from gene expression data using scalable algorithms (GRNBoost2, GENIE3). Use when analyzing transcriptomics data (bulk RNA-seq, single-cell RNA-seq) to identify transcription factor-target gene relationships and regulatory interactions. Supports distributed computation for large-scale datasets.
