research-lookupCompile current scholarly evidence for a scientific manuscript or research brief. Use when the user explicitly asks to gather literature, references, background evidence, competing findings, or a manuscript research packet. Uses Parallel Search by default, Parallel Extract for source verification, Parallel Research for explicitly deep/exhaustive work, optional explicit Parallel Chat, and optional Perplexity only when requested or allowed as a failure fallback.2 installsscientific-slidesBuild slide decks and presentations for research talks. Use this for making PowerPoint slides, conference presentations, seminar talks, research presentations, thesis defense slides, or any scientific talk. Provides slide structure, design templates, timing guidance, and visual validation. Works with PowerPoint and LaTeX Beamer.2 installsneurokit2Use NeuroKit2 to build or audit reproducible research workflows for physiological time-series preprocessing, event/interval analysis, multimodal alignment, variability, and complexity. Trigger when code imports neurokit2 or needs its current APIs, schemas, and method-aware validation—not for diagnosis or device validation.2 installsoptimize-for-gpuGPU-accelerates scientific Python on NVIDIA hardware and verifies that the result is correct and faster. Use for CUDA/GPU optimization; CPU-bound NumPy, SciPy, pandas, scikit-learn, NetworkX, scikit-image, vector-search, image-processing, graph, simulation, or file-I/O workloads; CuPy, cuDF, cuML, cuGraph, cuVS, cuCIM, KvikIO, Warp, Newton, Numba-CUDA, or RAFT questions; and profiling, memory-transfer, kernel, or multi-GPU bottlenecks. Also use when large data-parallel Python code is slow and GPU acceleration is a plausible option, even if the user does not name CUDA.2 installsautoskillObserve the user's screen via screenpipe, detect repeated research workflows, match them against existing scientific-agent-skills, and draft new skills (or composition recipes that chain existing ones) for the patterns not yet covered. Use when the user asks to analyze their recent work and propose skills based on what they actually do. Requires the screenpipe daemon (https://github.com/screenpipe/screenpipe) running locally on port 3030 — the skill has no other data source and will refuse to run if screenpipe is unreachable. All detection runs locally; only redacted cluster summaries reach the LLM.2 installsplotlyInteractive visualization library. Use when you need hover info, zoom, pan, or web-embeddable charts. Best for dashboards, exploratory analysis, and presentations. For static publication figures use matplotlib or scientific-visualization.1 installs

Frequently asked questions about cantera

What does the cantera skill do?

Runs Cantera homogeneous chemical reactors and evaluates ignition delay with mechanism provenance, conservation checks, and numerical refinement. Use for combustion kinetics, closed adiabatic ideal-gas constant-volume or constant-pressure ignition, temperature histories, or mechanism-specific ignition-delay comparisons. It's a reusable SKILL.md instruction set that loads into your AI coding assistant on demand, no prompt engineering, no copy-pasting every session.

How do I install the cantera skill?

Run `npx @skills-hub-ai/cli install scientific-skills-cantera` from your terminal. The CLI writes the SKILL.md to the correct location for your AI tool (e.g. ~/.claude/skills/scientific-skills-cantera/ for Claude Code or ~/.cursor/skills/ for Cursor with --target cursor) and adds it to your project's .skills.json lockfile.

Which AI tools does cantera work with?

cantera runs in Claude Code. It follows the open Agent Skills standard (SKILL.md), so the same skill works in every supported tool without modification.

Is the cantera skill free?

Yes. Every skill on skills-hub.ai is free and open-source. There are no premium tiers, paywalls, or usage limits. You only pay for whatever AI assistant you're already using.

How do I use cantera after installing it?

In Claude Code, type `/scientific-skills-cantera` (or whatever slash command the skill registers) and the AI follows the skill's instructions immediately. You can also reference it by name in natural language, your AI loads the skill into context when relevant.

Can I share the cantera skill with my team?

Yes. Commit your project's .skills.json lockfile and teammates run `npx @skills-hub-ai/cli install` (no args) to install every skill at the exact version you pinned. Organization-scoped installs work via skills-hub.ai organizations.
