Executive Brief System Skill
When to Use
- Delivering forecast updates to ELT or board audiences.
- Summarizing revenue risks/opportunities with clear asks.
- Packaging meeting-ready decks or memos that pull from forecast + variance analysis outputs.
Framework
- Audience Lens – capture what the audience cares about (growth, margin, cash, runway) and tailor tone.
- Story Arc – set context, state the headline (ahead/behind), outline drivers, and present mitigation plan.
- Evidence Layer – include key charts/tables with consistent formatting + footnotes.
- Decision & Ask – specify what approval, resource shift, or unblock is needed.
- Appendix & Audit Trail – link to deeper dashboards, logs, and forecast files for transparency.
Templates
- One-slide executive summary (headline, numbers, drivers, actions).
- Board memo outline (context, highlights, lowlights, requests).
- Risk register snippet for ongoing tracking.
Tips
- Use consistent metric definitions and color-coding to avoid confusion.
- Keep main section under one page/slide, move detail to appendix.

Attack Tree Construction
Build comprehensive attack trees to visualize threat paths. Use when mapping attack scenarios, identifying defense gaps, or communicating security risks to stakeholders.
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.
