# life-science-research

This plugin routes life-science questions to focused skills and combines evidence from several sources. Use it for genetics, omics, chemistry, structure, clinical research, and dataset discovery.

## What it does

life-science-research adds a research layer for Codex. It classifies the task, resolves genes, proteins, variants, diseases, compounds, tissues, and other entities, then selects the smallest useful set of skills. Broad or ambiguous requests start with `research-router-skill`.

The plugin bundles 50 skills covering human genetics, functional genomics, expression, pathways, protein structure, chemistry, pharmacology, clinical evidence, literature, and public study discovery. Independent evidence lanes can be handled by Codex subagents when they are available, while the coordinating agent keeps control of scope, entity resolution, conflict handling, and final synthesis.

Focused questions can use a single source; multi-step questions can combine several source families. A clear research objective matters here, because broad requests may otherwise open more branches than the final answer needs.

## When to use it
- trace a gene-disease relationship
- interpret a genetic variant
- compare expression with genetic evidence
- locate public studies and datasets
- review protein structure or ligand evidence

## Example prompts
- Use life-science-research to compare public genetics and expression evidence for IL6R in asthma.
- Interpret variants in this gene using genetic and clinical evidence sources.
- Find public datasets, literature, and pathway context related to TREM2.
