Literature Deep Research
Systematic literature research: disambiguate, search with collision-aware queries, grade evidence, produce structured reports.
KEY PRINCIPLES: (1) Disambiguate first (2) Right-size deliverable (3) Grade every claim T1-T4 (4) All sections mandatory even if "limited evidence" (5) Source attribution for every claim (6) English-first queries, respond in user's language (7) Report = deliverable, not search log
LOOK UP, DON'T GUESS
Search PubMed/EuropePMC FIRST before reasoning. A published paper beats memory.
Factoid search strategy:
- Extract KEY TERMS (most specific nouns/verbs)
EuropePMC_search_articles(query="term1 term2 term3", limit=5)- No results -> BROADEN (remove most restrictive term)
- Too many -> NARROW (add specific terms)
- Answer usually in abstract of top results
- Failed query -> try DIFFERENT TERMS/synonyms, don't repeat

tooluniverse-sequence-retrieval
Retrieves biological sequences (DNA, RNA, protein) from NCBI and ENA with gene disambiguation, accession type handling, and comprehensive sequence profiles. Creates detailed reports with sequence metadata, cross-database references, and download options. Use when users need nucleotide sequences, protein sequences, genome data, or mention GenBank, RefSeq, EMBL accessions.
1.4Ktooluniverse-image-analysis
Production-ready microscopy image analysis and quantitative imaging data skill for colony morphometry, cell counting, fluorescence quantification, and statistical analysis of imaging-derived measurements. Processes ImageJ/CellProfiler output (area, circularity, intensity, cell counts), performs Dunnett's test, Cohen's d effect size, power analysis, Shapiro-Wilk normality tests, two-way ANOVA, polynomial regression, natural spline regression with confidence intervals, and comparative morphometry. Supports CSV/TSV measurement tables, multi-channel fluorescence data, colony swarming assays, and neuron counting datasets. Use when analyzing microscopy measurement data, colony area/circularity, cell count statistics, swarming assays, co-culture ratio optimization, or answering questions about imaging-derived quantitative data.
405tooluniverse
Router skill for ToolUniverse tasks. First checks if specialized tooluniverse skills (105+ skills covering disease/drug/target research, gene-disease associations, clinical decision support, genomics, epigenomics, proteomics, comparative genomics, chemical safety, toxicology, systems biology, and more) can solve the problem, then falls back to general strategies for using 2300+ scientific tools. Covers tool discovery, multi-hop queries, comprehensive research workflows, disambiguation, evidence grading, and report generation. Use when users need to research any scientific topic, find biological data, or explore drug/target/disease relationships. ALSO USE for any biology, medicine, chemistry, pharmacology, or life science question — even simple factoid questions like "how many X in protein Y", "what drug interacts with Z", "what gene causes disease W", or "translate this sequence". These questions benefit from database lookups (UniProt, PubMed, ChEMBL, ClinVar, GWAS Catalog, etc.) rather than answering from memory alone. When in doubt about a scientific fact, USE THIS SKILL to verify against real databases.
274tooluniverse-drug-research
Generates comprehensive drug research reports with compound disambiguation, evidence grading, and mandatory completeness sections. Covers identity, chemistry, pharmacology, targets, clinical trials, safety, pharmacogenomics, and ADMET properties. Use when users ask about drugs, medications, therapeutics, or need drug profiling, safety assessment, or clinical development research.
270tooluniverse-clinical-trial-design
Strategic clinical trial design feasibility assessment using ToolUniverse. Evaluates patient population sizing, biomarker prevalence, endpoint selection, comparator analysis, safety monitoring, and regulatory pathways. Creates comprehensive feasibility reports with evidence grading, enrollment projections, and trial design recommendations. Use when planning Phase 1/2 trials, assessing trial feasibility, or designing biomarker-driven studies.
270setup-tooluniverse
Install and configure ToolUniverse for any use case — MCP server (chat-based), CLI (command line with 9 subcommands), or Python SDK (Coding API with 3 calling patterns). Covers uv/uvx setup, MCP configuration for 12+ AI clients (Cursor, Claude Desktop, Windsurf, VS Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, Trae, Cline, etc.), full CLI reference (tu list/grep/find/info/run/test/status/build/serve), Coding API quickstart, agentic tools, code executor, API key walkthrough, skill installation, and upgrading. Use when user asks how to set up ToolUniverse, which access mode to use (MCP vs CLI vs SDK), configuring MCP servers, using the CLI, troubleshooting installation, upgrading, or mentions installing ToolUniverse or setting up scientific tools. Also triggers for "how do I use ToolUniverse", "what's the best way to access tools", "command line", "tu command", "coding API", "tu build".
