After Installation
Once installed, skills are automatically triggered based on the task at hand. Example requests:
- "I have RNA-seq counts from treated vs control samples - find the differentially expressed genes"
- "Call variants from this whole genome sequencing BAM file"
- "Cluster my single-cell RNA-seq data and find marker genes"
- "Predict the structure of this protein sequence"
- "Run a metagenomics classification on these shotgun reads"
