Formulate Quantum Problem
Skill Verified ActiveFormulate a quantum mechanics or quantum chemistry problem with proper mathematical framework including Hilbert space, operators, boundary conditions, and approximation method selection. Use when setting up a quantum mechanics problem for analytic or numerical solution, formulating a quantum chemistry calculation, translating a physical scenario into the Schrodinger or Dirac formalism, or choosing between perturbation theory, variational methods, DFT, and exact diagonalization.
To assist researchers and students in rigorously formulating quantum mechanics or quantum chemistry problems, ensuring a mathematically sound framework for analytic or numerical solutions.

Survey Theoretical Literature
99Survey and synthesize theoretical literature on a specific topic, identifying seminal papers, key results, open problems, and cross-domain connections. Use when starting research on an unfamiliar theoretical topic, writing a literature review for a paper or thesis, identifying open problems and research gaps, finding cross-domain connections, or evaluating the novelty of a proposed theoretical contribution against existing work.
External Context
100Invoke parallel document-specialist agents for external web searches and documentation lookup
ARA Research Manager
100Records research provenance as a post-task epilogue, scanning conversation history at the end of a coding or research session to extract decisions, experiments, dead ends, claims, heuristics, and pivots, and writing them into the ara/ directory with user-vs-AI provenance tags. Use as a session epilogue — never during execution — to maintain a faithful, auditable trace of how a research project actually evolved.
Journey Mapping
100Build customer journey maps and service blueprints that visualize the end-to-end user experience including touchpoints, emotions, friction, and underlying systems. Use this skill whenever the user wants to map a customer journey, build a service blueprint, identify friction across an experience, align teams on the user experience, or visualize touchpoints and pain points. Triggers on customer journey, journey map, service blueprint, user journey, experience map, touchpoint analysis, friction map, journey audit, end-to-end experience, customer experience map. Also triggers when the team has departmental views of users but no shared map of what the experience actually feels like.
Manus
100Delegate complex, long-running tasks to Manus AI agent for autonomous execution. Use when user says 'use manus', 'delegate to manus', 'send to manus', 'have manus do', 'ask manus', 'check manus sessions', or when tasks require deep web research, market analysis, product comparisons, stock analysis, competitive research, document generation, data analysis, or multi-step workflows that benefit from autonomous agent execution with parallel processing.
Market Sizing
100TAM/SAM/SOM market sizing analysis. Uses web search and research tools to produce a structured analysis with data sources, assumptions, calculations, and confidence ranges. Triggers on: "calculate TAM", "size the market", "market opportunity".
