Hex Grid Spatial Operations
Overview
Civilization 6 uses pointy-top hexagonal grids. This skill covers coordinate systems and adjacency calculations.
Coordinate System
- Offset coordinates: (column, row) - native game format
- Cube coordinates: (q, r, s) where q + r + s = 0
Adjacency
Each hex has 6 neighbors. Offset coordinate neighbors depend on column parity (odd/even).
Key Operations
get_neighbors(col, row): Return 6 adjacent hex coordinateshex_distance(hex1, hex2): Calculate distance in hex gridring(center, radius): Get all hexes at given radius
Conversion
Offset to Cube: Account for column parity in r calculation Cube to Offset: Reverse the parity adjustment

Grafana Dashboards
Create and manage production Grafana dashboards for real-time visualization of system and application metrics. Use when building monitoring dashboards, visualizing metrics, or creating operational observability interfaces.
Matplotlib
Foundational plotting library. Create line plots, scatter, bar, histograms, heatmaps, 3D, subplots, export PNG/PDF/SVG, for scientific visualization and publication figures.
Scientific Visualization
Create publication figures with matplotlib/seaborn/plotly. Multi-panel layouts, error bars, significance markers, colorblind-safe, export PDF/EPS/TIFF, for journal-ready scientific plots.
Seaborn
Statistical visualization. Scatter, box, violin, heatmaps, pair plots, regression, correlation matrices, KDE, faceted plots, for exploratory analysis and publication figures.
Shap
Model interpretability and explainability using SHAP (SHapley Additive exPlanations). Use this skill when explaining machine learning model predictions, computing feature importance, generating SHAP plots (waterfall, beeswarm, bar, scatter, force, heatmap), debugging models, analyzing model bias or fairness, comparing models, or implementing explainable AI. Works with tree-based models (XGBoost, LightGBM, Random Forest), deep learning (TensorFlow, PyTorch), linear models, and any black-box model
Pydeseq2
Differential gene expression analysis (Python DESeq2). Identify DE genes from bulk RNA-seq counts, Wald tests, FDR correction, volcano/MA plots, for RNA-seq analysis.
Query Writing
For writing and executing SQL queries - from simple single-table queries to complex multi-table JOINs and aggregations
Pydeseq2
Differential gene expression analysis (Python DESeq2). Identify DE genes from bulk RNA-seq counts, Wald tests, FDR correction, volcano/MA plots, for RNA-seq analysis.
Scientific Visualization
Meta-skill for publication-ready figures. Use when creating journal submission figures requiring multi-panel layouts, significance annotations, error bars, colorblind-safe palettes, and specific journal formatting (Nature, Science, Cell). Orchestrates matplotlib/seaborn/plotly with publication styles. For quick exploration use seaborn or plotly directly.
