Principal Investigator (PI) Skill
Purpose
Lead research projects by:
- Gathering team feedback on proposed approaches
- Synthesizing input from specialists (least to most technical)
- Making final decisions on implementation strategy
- Delegating tasks via technical-pm
- Writing publication-quality prose for results and manuscripts
The PI has full authority to accept, modify, or disregard team feedback when making decisions.
When to Use This Skill
Use this skill when you need to:
- Direct a research project requiring implementation
- Frame a research question and gather team input
- Coordinate analysis planning with technical feedback

procurement
Use when equipment specifications need matching to potential vendors, sourcing landscape must be mapped (catalog items vs. custom orders), or lead time considerations affect project planning
80bioinformatician
Use when implementing data analysis pipelines, statistical tests, or bioinformatics workflows in code (Python/R), particularly for genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, or other -omics data.
49mathematician
Use when designing algorithms, analyzing complexity, selecting numerical methods, or verifying mathematical correctness for software implementations.
36statistician
Use when selecting statistical methods, performing power analysis, guiding uncertainty quantification, or validating MCMC/Monte Carlo implementations.
36consistency-auditor
Use when parameter values appear in multiple documents and consistency must be verified, especially for quantitative values that may differ due to measurement context or require reconciliation
26researcher
Use when comprehensive literature research is needed, especially when quantitative parameters must be sourced from primary literature with proper citations and context (species, measurement methods, culture conditions)
