Systems Architect Skill
Purpose
Design robust, scalable architectures for bioinformatics software and pipelines.
When to Use This Skill
Use this skill when you need to:
- Design software architecture for complex bioinformatics systems
- Choose appropriate data structures (pandas, anndata, HDF5, databases)
- Plan for scalability (memory, compute, storage)
- Define APIs and interfaces between components
- Design pipeline orchestration (Snakemake, Nextflow, custom)
- Make technology stack decisions
Workflow Integration
Pattern: Requirements → Architecture Design → Implementation Spec

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
73bioinformatician
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)
