Alterlab Protocolsio
Skill Verified ActivePart of the AlterLab Academic Skills suite. Integration with protocols.io API for managing scientific protocols. This skill should be used when working with protocols.io to search, create, update, or publish protocols; manage protocol steps and materials; handle discussions and comments; organize workspaces; upload and manage files; or integrate protocols.io functionality into workflows. Applicable for protocol discovery, collaborative protocol development, experiment tracking, lab protocol management, and scientific documentation.
To enable seamless integration with protocols.io, allowing researchers and scientists to automate and manage their scientific protocols and related data through an AI agent.

Product Self Knowledge
100Stop and consult this skill whenever your response would include specific facts about Anthropic's products. Covers: Claude Code (how to install, Node.js requirements, platform/OS support, MCP server integration, configuration), Claude API (function calling/tool use, batch processing, SDK usage, rate limits, pricing, models, streaming), and Claude.ai (Pro vs Team vs Enterprise plans, feature limits). Trigger this even for coding tasks that use the Anthropic SDK, content creation mentioning Claude capabilities or pricing, or LLM provider comparisons. Any time you would otherwise rely on memory for Anthropic product details, verify here instead — your training data may be outdated or wrong.
Google Docs
100Interact with Google Docs - create documents, search by title, read content, and edit text. Use when user asks to: create a Google Doc, find a document, read doc content, add text to a doc, or replace text in a document. Lightweight alternative to full Google Workspace MCP server with standalone OAuth authentication.
External Context
100Invoke parallel document-specialist agents for external web searches and documentation lookup
