What this skill does
# Grant Narrative Writing Compose compelling research narratives for NEH, ACLS, and foundation funding proposals with clear significance statements. ## Overview This skill enables creation of competitive humanities grant proposals. It encompasses narrative development, significance articulation, and proposal writing to secure funding from NEH, ACLS, and other humanities funders. ## Capabilities ### Narrative Development - Project description - Research questions - Methodology articulation - Work plan development - Outcome specification ### Significance Statements - Scholarly contribution - Field advancement - Broader impacts - Public benefit - Innovation claims ### Proposal Components - Abstract writing - Budget justification - Timeline creation - Bibliography curation - Supplement preparation ### Funder Alignment - Guidelines interpretation - Priority matching - Evaluation criteria - Review process - Compliance requirements ## Usage Guidelines ### Writing Process 1. Analyze funder priorities 2. Develop project concept 3. Draft narrative sections 4. Articulate significance 5. Create work plan 6. Develop budget 7. Revise and polish ### Narrative Elements - Clear research questions - Feasible methodology - Realistic timeline - Qualified personnel - Measurable outcomes ### Quality Standards - Compelling argument - Clear writing - Complete information - Funder alignment - Realistic planning ## Integration Points ### Related Processes - Grant Proposal Development - Scholarly Article Development - Research Ethics Review ### Collaborating Skills - citation-scholarly-apparatus - research-ethics-irb-navigation - critical-theory-application ## References - NEH application guidelines - ACLS fellowship programs - Foundation proposal guides - Humanities grant writing resources

jax-development
IncludedUse this skill when the user is writing, debugging, profiling, refactoring, reviewing, benchmarking, parallelising, exporting, or explaining JAX code, or when they mention JAX, jax.numpy, jit, grad, value_and_grad, vmap, scan, lax, random keys, pytrees, jax.Array, sharding, Mesh, PartitionSpec, NamedSharding, pmap, shard_map, Pallas, XLA, StableHLO, checkify, profiler, or the JAX repo. It helps turn NumPy or PyTorch-style code into pure functional JAX, fix tracer/control-flow/shape/PRNG bugs, remove recompiles and host-device syncs, choose transforms and sharding strategies, inspect jaxpr/lowering/IR, and benchmark compiled code correctly.
nature-article-writer
IncludedDrafts, rewrites, diagnostically critiques, and style-calibrates primary research manuscripts for Nature and Nature Portfolio journals. Use when the user wants a Nature-style title, summary paragraph or abstract, introduction, results, discussion, methods, figure legends, presubmission enquiry, cover letter, reviewer response, or when a scientific draft sounds generic, jargon-heavy, structurally weak, or AI-ish and needs precise, broad-reader-friendly prose without inventing data, analyses, or references. Best for primary research articles and letters rather than reviews or press releases unless explicitly adapting one.
deckrd
IncludedDocument-driven framework that derives requirements, specifications, implementation plans, and executable tasks from goals through structured AI dialogue. Use when user says "write requirements", "create spec", "plan implementation", "derive tasks", "structure this feature", "break down into tasks", or "document this module". Also use for reverse engineering existing code into docs (/deckrd rev). Do NOT use for direct code writing — use /deckrd-coder after tasks are generated. Do NOT use when the user only wants to run or fix existing code without planning.
clinical-decision-support
IncludedGenerate professional clinical decision support (CDS) documents for pharmaceutical and clinical research settings, including patient cohort analyses (biomarker-stratified with outcomes) and treatment recommendation reports (evidence-based guidelines with decision algorithms). Supports GRADE evidence grading, statistical analysis (hazard ratios, survival curves, waterfall plots), biomarker integration, and regulatory compliance. Outputs publication-ready LaTeX/PDF format optimized for drug development, clinical research, and evidence synthesis.
handling-sf-data
IncludedSalesforce data operations with 130-point scoring. Use this skill to create, update, delete, bulk import/export, generate test data, and clean up org records using sf CLI and anonymous Apex. TRIGGER when: user creates test data, performs bulk import/export, uses sf data CLI commands, needs data factory patterns for Apex tests, or needs to seed/clean records in a Salesforce org. DO NOT TRIGGER when: SOQL query writing only (use querying-soql), Apex test execution (use running-apex-tests), or metadata deployment (use deploying-metadata).
accelint-ac-to-playwright
IncludedConvert and validate acceptance criteria for Playwright test automation. Use when user asks to (1) review/evaluate/check if AC are ready for automation, (2) assess if AC can be converted as-is, (3) validate AC quality for Playwright, (4) turn AC into tests, (5) generate tests from acceptance criteria, (6) convert .md bullets or .feature Gherkin files to Playwright specs, (7) create test automation from requirements. Handles both bullet-style markdown and Gherkin syntax with JSON test plan generation and validation.
