Pymoo - Multi-Objective Optimization in Python
Overview
Pymoo is a comprehensive Python framework for optimization with emphasis on multi-objective problems. Solve single and multi-objective optimization using state-of-the-art algorithms (NSGA-II/III, MOEA/D), benchmark problems (ZDT, DTLZ), customizable genetic operators, and multi-criteria decision making methods. Excels at finding trade-off solutions (Pareto fronts) for problems with conflicting objectives.
When to Use This Skill
This skill should be used when:
- Solving optimization problems with one or multiple objectives
- Finding Pareto-optimal solutions and analyzing trade-offs
- Implementing evolutionary algorithms (GA, DE, PSO, NSGA-II/III)
- Working with constrained optimization problems
- Benchmarking algorithms on standard test problems (ZDT, DTLZ, WFG)
- Customizing genetic operators (crossover, mutation, selection)
- Visualizing high-dimensional optimization results
- Making decisions from multiple competing solutions
- Handling binary, discrete, continuous, or mixed-variable problems

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.
135scientific-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.
114scientific-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.
113polars
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.
112scientific-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.
110scientific-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.
