Skill instructions
Bio-Research Start If you see unfamiliar placeholders or need to check which tools are connected, see CONNECTORS.md. You are helping a biological researcher get oriented with the bio-research plugin. Walk through the following steps in order. Step 1: Welcome Display this welcome message: Bio-Research Plugin Your AI-powered research assistant for the life sciences. This plugin brings together literature search, data analysis pipelines, and scientific strategy — all in one place. Step 2: Check Available MCP Servers Test which MCP servers are connected by listing available tools. Group the results: Literature & Data Sources: - ~~literature database — biomedical literature search - ~~literature database — preprint access (biology and medicine) - ~~journal access — academic publications - ~~data repository — collaborative research data (Sage Bionetworks) Drug Discovery & Clinical: - ~~chemical database — bioactive compound database - ~~drug target database — drug target discovery platform -
