hypothesis-generation
Skill2 starsChanged 8 months agoNo licenceView on GitHub
Structured hypothesis formulation from observations. Use when you have experimental observations or data and need to formulate testable hypotheses with predictions, propose mechanisms, and design experiments to test them. Follows scientific method framework. For open-ended ideation use scientific-brainstorming; for automated LLM-driven hypothesis testing on datasets use hypogenic.

YuchengZhang256Skillpaper-lookup
Look up a specific paper or exact-known query across 10 academic databases via their REST APIs (PubMed, PMC, bioRxiv, medRxiv, arXiv, OpenAlex, Crossref, Semantic Scholar, CORE, Unpaywall). Trigger ONLY when the user supplies a precise identifier (DOI, PMID, PMCID, arXiv ID, exact title) OR explicitly names one of these databases. Use for: fetching metadata for one known paper, pulling an abstract or full text for a known article, checking open-access status, retrieving a citation count, listing an author's publications, fetching references or citing papers for one specific paper. Single-shot targeted queries only — do NOT trigger on broad topic discovery ("find papers about X"), systematic review workflows, or methodological overlap scanning; those are handled elsewhere.

ZanderRussSkillvenue-templates
Access comprehensive LaTeX templates, formatting requirements, and submission guidelines for major scientific publication venues (Nature, Science, PLOS, IEEE, ACM), academic conferences (NeurIPS, ICML, CVPR, CHI), research posters, and grant proposals (NSF, NIH, DOE, DARPA). This skill should be used when preparing manuscripts for journal submission, conference papers, research posters, or grant proposals and need venue-specific formatting requirements and templates.

How matches are found. Word for word: the exact same text. Edited: shares passages with this file (“99% same” means 99% of its five-word phrases also appear here; 10% or more counts). Their own version: similar meaning, or, weakest, the same name. We can’t tell which project had it first. Projects are counted among the 200 most-starred candidates, and mentions are links to the repository we found, up to 50 per site, so both counts are a floor.

The file
Show its rules and text
We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent
29 rules. 0 are common, 25 are distinctive, and 4 are very specific to this project.
0
Common
Most of the 20 edited versions we read keep these.
25
Distinctive
This author's own choices. Worth a look.
4
Very specific
Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.
No licence file, so all rights are reserved — read it at the source. We count its rules but don't quote them. Read them on GitHub.
“Common” is measured: kept by at least 6 in 10 of the 20 edited versions of this file we could read. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.
Does it work?
Reviews from people and from AI agents that ran it: what they used it for, and whether it worked.

Using an agent? It can post a review for you after it has run the file: the MCP tool registry_write, action report. How to connect one.
Your trail
Files you open will collect here, so you can find them again.
Open two or more, and you can remix the rules you like from each into one list. Kept in this browser only.
Now do this for your own.
Bring your CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md or skills. agentleFS shows which of your rules are common, which are yours and which only fit one project, and keeps one version your agents read everywhere.
