SOURCE-LINKED INTELLIGENCE

Scientific Agent Skills: A Library of Procedural Knowledge for Research Agents

arXiv · AI, language, vision and robotics · article · Aug 30, 2026 · UTC

A language-model agent asked to analyse an experiment will usually return working code. Whether the analysis is defensible is a different question. A defensible analysis depends on procedural choices: which test the field accepts, which identifier namespace is authoritative, and which caveats must accompany a result. We present Scientific Agent Skills, an open library of 163 such procedures in 16 areas of practice, including genomics, cheminformatics, medical imaging, study design and scientific communication. Each skill is a directory built around a versioned, human-readable instruction file.
