PrimeKG Knowledge Graph Skill
Overview
PrimeKG is a precision medicine knowledge graph that integrates over 20 primary databases and high-quality scientific literature into a single resource. It contains over 100,000 nodes and 4 million edges across 29 relationship types, including drug-target, disease-gene, and phenotype-disease associations.
Key capabilities:
- Search for nodes (genes, proteins, drugs, diseases, phenotypes)
- Retrieve direct neighbors (associated entities and clinical evidence)
- Analyze local disease context (related genes, drugs, phenotypes)
- Identify drug-disease paths (potential repurposing opportunities)
Data access: Programmatic access via query_primekg.py. Data is stored at C:\Users\eamon\Documents\Data\PrimeKG\kg.csv.
When to Use This Skill
This skill should be used when:
- Knowledge-based drug discovery: Identifying targets and mechanisms for diseases.

scientific-writing
Core skill for the deep research and writing tool. Write scientific manuscripts in full paragraphs (never bullet points). Use two-stage process with (1) section outlines with key points using research-lookup then (2) convert to flowing prose. IMRAD structure, citations (APA/AMA/Vancouver), figures/tables, reporting guidelines (CONSORT/STROBE/PRISMA), for research papers and journal submissions.
136scientific-critical-thinking
Evaluate scientific claims and evidence quality. Use for assessing experimental design validity, identifying biases and confounders, applying evidence grading frameworks (GRADE, Cochrane Risk of Bias), or teaching critical analysis. Best for understanding evidence quality, identifying flaws. For formal peer review writing use peer-review.
115scientific-visualization
Meta-skill for publication-ready figures. Use when creating journal submission figures requiring multi-panel layouts, significance annotations, error bars, colorblind-safe palettes, and specific journal formatting (Nature, Science, Cell). Orchestrates matplotlib/seaborn/plotly with publication styles. For quick exploration use seaborn or plotly directly.
114polars
Fast in-memory DataFrame library for datasets that fit in RAM. Use when pandas is too slow but data still fits in memory. Lazy evaluation, parallel execution, Apache Arrow backend. Best for 1-100GB datasets, ETL pipelines, faster pandas replacement. For larger-than-RAM data use dask or vaex.
113scientific-brainstorming
Creative research ideation and exploration. Use for open-ended brainstorming sessions, exploring interdisciplinary connections, challenging assumptions, or identifying research gaps. Best for early-stage research planning when you do not have specific observations yet. For formulating testable hypotheses from data use hypothesis-generation.
111scientific-slides
Build slide decks and presentations for research talks. Use this for making PowerPoint slides, conference presentations, seminar talks, research presentations, thesis defense slides, or any scientific talk. Provides slide structure, design templates, timing guidance, and visual validation. Works with PowerPoint and LaTeX Beamer.
