Agent skill
os
Retrieve operating system information including architecture, release version, and uptime. Core Scenario: When the user needs to check system specs, platform type, or runtime duration for scripting or diagnostics.

os - Operating System Information
The os module provides detailed information about the current operating system, including its name, architecture, release details, load averages, and more. It is essential for writing cross-platform scripts.
When to Activate
- When the user needs to identify the system architecture (e.g., x86_64, arm64).
- When checking if the environment is Linux, macOS, WSL, or Termux.
- When monitoring system load or uptime.
- When retrieving release information for software compatibility checks.
Core Principles & Rules
- Efficient Scripting: Use variables like
name_,arch_, anduptime_in scripts for high-performance data retrieval. - Cache Control: Subcommands starting with
get(e.g.,getname) bypass caches for real-time detection. - Cross-Platform Readiness: Leverage
os is <type>for robust conditional logic in shell scripts.
Patterns & Examples
Basic Information
# Show OS name and architecture
x os name
x os arch
Environment Check
# Test if running in WSL (returns 0 or 1)
x os is wsl
System Performance
# Display uptime and load averages
x os uptime
x os loadavg
Checklist
- Confirm if real-time detection is required (bypassing cache).
- Verify the specific information requested (name vs release).

pufferlib
High-performance reinforcement learning framework optimized for speed and scale. Use when you need fast parallel training, vectorized environments, multi-agent systems, or integration with game environments (Atari, Procgen, NetHack). Achieves 2-10x speedups over standard implementations. For quick prototyping or standard algorithm implementations with extensive documentation, use stable-baselines3 instead.
fluidsim
Framework for computational fluid dynamics simulations using Python. Use when running fluid dynamics simulations including Navier-Stokes equations (2D/3D), shallow water equations, stratified flows, or when analyzing turbulence, vortex dynamics, or geophysical flows. Provides pseudospectral methods with FFT, HPC support, and comprehensive output analysis.
metabolomics-workbench-database
Access NIH Metabolomics Workbench via REST API (4,200+ studies). Query metabolites, RefMet nomenclature, MS/NMR data, m/z searches, study metadata, for metabolomics and biomarker discovery.
geniml
This skill should be used when working with genomic interval data (BED files) for machine learning tasks. Use for training region embeddings (Region2Vec, BEDspace), single-cell ATAC-seq analysis (scEmbed), building consensus peaks (universes), or any ML-based analysis of genomic regions. Applies to BED file collections, scATAC-seq data, chromatin accessibility datasets, and region-based genomic feature learning.
zinc-database
Access ZINC (230M+ purchasable compounds). Search by ZINC ID/SMILES, similarity searches, 3D-ready structures for docking, analog discovery, for virtual screening and drug discovery.
astropy
Comprehensive Python library for astronomy and astrophysics. This skill should be used when working with astronomical data including celestial coordinates, physical units, FITS files, cosmological calculations, time systems, tables, world coordinate systems (WCS), and astronomical data analysis. Use when tasks involve coordinate transformations, unit conversions, FITS file manipulation, cosmological distance calculations, time scale conversions, or astronomical data processing.
