⚡ Try It — One Line, the Right Skill

You don't need to know skill names. Describe the task and alterlab-skill-finder (the front door) picks the skill for you — and tells you which one, and why.

Route — one task → one skill:

💬 "Use AlterLab skills to review my methods section." 🧭 → alterlab-paper-reviewer (methodology-focus)

💬 "Which AlterLab skill finds and fact-checks papers on CRISPR off-target effects?" 🧭 → alterlab-deep-research + alterlab-pubmed

alterflow — a goal that spans stages → a clarified, multi-agent workflow:

💬 "alterflow — investigate the link between sleep and memory, and turn it into a publishable paper." 🧭 → asks 2–4 scoping questions first, then plans and runs:

flowchart LR
    A["⌨️ alterflow"] --> Q{"clarify2–4 questions"}
    Q --> P["plan + confirm(with rough cost)"]
    P --> R["🔬 deep-research"]
    R --> W["📝 paper-writer"]
    W --> V["🔍 paper-reviewer"]
    V --> F["📄 final paper"]

Questions before execution — it never starts a 20-agent run blind, and simple tasks stay single-skill. Built on Anthropic's routing and orchestrator-workers patterns.

Packaged workflows — one command, many independent agents (Claude Code):

💬 /alterlab-workflows:citation-audit thesis/main.tex 🧩 → every reference resolved against Crossref / OpenAlex / Semantic Scholar / arXiv, every cited claim checked against its source, and every flag re-checked by two independent agents before it reaches the report.
