-# Exa Web Toolkit
-
-A skill for web-powered research tasks backed by [Exa](https://exa.ai): web search and URL extraction. Exa's index combines high-quality keyword and semantic retrieval, which makes it well-suited to scientific, technical, and conceptual queries.
-
-## Routing — pick the right capability
-
-Read the user's request and match it to one of the capabilities below. Read the corresponding reference file for detailed instructions before running commands.
-
-| User wants to... | Capability | Where |
-|---|---|---|
-| Look something up, research a topic, find current info | **Web Search** | `references/web-search.md` |
-| Fetch content from a specific URL (webpage, article, PDF) | **Web Extract** | `references/web-extract.md` |
-| Install or authenticate | **Setup** | Below |
-
-### Decision guide
-
-- **Default to Web Search** for topic lookups, research questions, or "what is X?" queries. When the topic is scientific or technical, pass `--category "research paper"` to bias toward scholarly sources, and/or an academic `--include-domains` allowlist. See `references/web-search.md` for the two-pass academic strategy.
-- **Use Web Extract** when the user provides a URL or asks you to read/fetch a specific page. Prefer this over the built-in WebFetch for batch extraction (multiple URLs in one call) and for academic PDFs.
-
-### Academic source priority
-
-For technical or scientific queries, prefer academic and scientific sources:
-- Peer-reviewed journal articles and conference proceedings over blog posts or news
-- Preprints (arXiv, bioRxiv, medRxiv) when peer-reviewed versions aren't available
-- Institutional and government sources (NIH, WHO, NASA, NIST) over commercial sites
-- Primary research over secondary summaries
-
-Two levers to steer Exa toward scholarly content:
-1. `--category "research paper"` biases retrieval toward scholarly sources.
-2. `--include-domains` with a scholarly allowlist (arxiv.org, nature.com, pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov, etc.) restricts the domain pool.
-
-Combine both for strictly academic results. See `references/web-search.md` for the full pattern.
-
-When citing academic sources, include author names and publication year where available (e.g., [Smith et al., 2025](url)) in addition to the standard citation format. If a DOI is present, prefer the DOI link.
-
----
-
-## Setup
-
-This skill uses the [`exa-py`](https://github.com/exa-labs/exa-py) Python SDK. The scripts in `scripts/` declare their dependencies via PEP 723 inline metadata, so you can run them directly with `uv run` without a separate install step:
-
-```bash
-uv run --with exa-py python "$SKILL_PATH/scripts/exa_search.py" --help
-```
-
-If you prefer a persistent install:
-
-```bash
-uv pip install "exa-py>=1.14.0"
-```
-
-### Authentication
-
-All commands read the API key from the `EXA_API_KEY` environment variable. Get your Exa API key at [dashboard.exa.ai/api-keys](https://dashboard.exa.ai/api-keys).
-
-First, check if a `.env` file exists in the project root and contains `EXA_API_KEY`. If so, load it:
-
-```bash
-dotenv -f .env run -- uv run --with exa-py python "$SKILL_PATH/scripts/exa_search.py" "your query"
-```
-
-If `dotenv` isn't available, install it: `uv pip install python-dotenv[cli]`.
-
-If there's no `.env`, export the key for the session:
-
-```bash
-export EXA_API_KEY="your-key"
-```
-
-Verify by running any script with `--help` — it will exit cleanly if the key is set and auth-check runs only when a real query is made.
-
-### Tracking header
-
-Every script in this skill sets the `x-exa-integration` request header to `k-dense-ai--scientific-agent-skills` so Exa can attribute usage from the K-Dense AI scientific-agent-skills repo to this integration. Do not remove or rename this header when adapting the scripts.

-# Experimental Design
-
-## Overview
-
-The design of a study — how units are assigned to conditions, what is held constant, what is varied, and in what structure — determines what questions the data can answer. No analysis can rescue a confounded or pseudoreplicated design after the fact. This skill is about the decisions made *before* data collection: picking a design that isolates the effect of interest, randomizing to license causal claims, blocking to remove known nuisance variation, and structuring multi-factor experiments so effects are estimable rather than tangled together.
-
-The three ideas behind almost every good design (Fisher's principles):
-- **Randomization** — assign treatments at random so that confounders, known and unknown, are balanced in expectation. This is what turns a comparison into a causal claim.
-- **Replication** — independent repetition at the right level, so you can estimate variability and your effects aren't artifacts of a single unit. The most common fatal error is **pseudoreplication**: counting repeated measurements on the same unit as independent replicates.
-- **Blocking / local control** — group similar units (by batch, day, site, litter) and randomize within blocks, removing that nuisance variation from the error term instead of letting it inflate noise.
-
-This skill helps you choose among design types, generate the actual randomization or DOE layout (with reproducible scripts), and avoid the structural mistakes that make data uninterpretable.
-
-## When to Use This Skill
-
-- Planning any comparative experiment or trial and deciding how to assign units
-- Randomizing subjects/samples to arms (simple, blocked, stratified, or cluster)
-- Removing nuisance variation by blocking or stratification
-- Designing multi-factor experiments: full or fractional factorial, screening designs
-- Optimizing a response over continuous factors (response-surface designs)
-- Within-subject / repeated-measures, crossover, split-plot, or Latin-square designs
-- Cluster- or group-randomized designs (sites, clinics, classrooms, litters)
-- Deciding the number and level of replicates and avoiding pseudoreplication
-- Sequential, group-sequential, or adaptive designs with interim analyses
-- Laying out plates/batches and randomizing run order to defeat drift
-
-## Installation
-
-```bash
-uv pip install "numpy>=1.26" "pandas>=2.0" pyDOE3
-```
-
-`pyDOE3` is the maintained successor to pyDOE/pyDOE2 and supplies factorial,
-fractional-factorial, Plackett-Burman, central-composite, Box-Behnken, and
-Latin-hypercube generators. The bundled scripts wrap it to return designs in real
-factor units with named columns and randomized run order.
-
----
-
-## Choosing a design
-
-Start from the question and the structure of your units, not from a favorite design.
-
-```
-What are you trying to learn?
-│
-├─ Compare a few predefined conditions (A vs B vs C)?
-│   ├─ Units independent, possibly with a known nuisance factor (day, batch, site)?
-│   │     → Completely randomized (no nuisance) or RANDOMIZED BLOCK design.
-│   ├─ Each unit can receive every condition in sequence (washout possible)?
-│   │     → CROSSOVER / repeated-measures design (more power, watch carry-over).
-│   └─ You can only randomize groups, not individuals (schools, clinics)?
-│         → CLUSTER-randomized design (analyze at the cluster level; see pseudoreplication).
-│
-├─ Screen MANY factors (5+) to find the few that matter?
-│     → FRACTIONAL FACTORIAL or PLACKETT-BURMAN screening design.
-│
-├─ Quantify main effects AND interactions among a handful of factors?
-│     → FULL 2^k FACTORIAL design.
-│
-├─ Find the settings that OPTIMIZE a response (curvature matters)?
-│     → RESPONSE-SURFACE design: central composite or Box-Behnken.
-│
-└─ Explore a simulation/computer model over a continuous space?
-      → SPACE-FILLING design: Latin hypercube.
-```
-
-Detailed guidance per branch:
-- **Randomization, blocking, stratification, controls** → `references/randomization_and_blocking.md`
-- **Factorial, fractional-factorial, screening, response-surface, DOE concepts (aliasing, resolution)** → `references/factorial_and_doe.md`
-- **Crossover, repeated-measures, split-plot, Latin-square, cluster, nested designs** → `references/design_types.md`
-- **Sequential, group-sequential, and adaptive designs (interim analyses)** → `references/sequential_and_adaptive.md`
-
----
-
-## Generating the design
-
-Two scripts produce ready-to-use, reproducible layouts. Run them from the skill's
-`scripts/` directory or add it to `sys.path`. Everything is seeded so the exact
-schedule can be archived and regenerated — a requirement for trial registration
-and good lab practice.
-
-### Randomization / allocation schedules — `scripts/randomization.py`
-
-```python
-from randomization import (
-    simple_randomization, block_randomization,
-    stratified_block_randomization, cluster_randomization,
-    assign_factorial_runs, arm_balance,
-)
-
-# Permuted blocks keep the arms balanced throughout enrollment (use for n < ~100
-# or sequential intake — simple randomization can drift out of balance with small n)
-sched = block_randomization(n=60, arms=["treatment", "control"], seed=42)
-
-# Balance a prognostic variable across arms by randomizing within each stratum
-sched = stratified_block_randomization({"siteA": 30, "siteB": 30},
-                                       arms=["drug", "placebo"], ratio=(2, 1), seed=42)
-
-# Randomize whole clusters, not individuals (the cluster is the unit)
-sched = cluster_randomization(["clinic1", "clinic2", "clinic3", "clinic4"], seed=42)
-
-arm_balance(sched)            # sanity-check the counts per arm
-sched.to_csv("allocation_schedule.csv", index=False)
-```
-
-Choosing among them: **simple** is fine for large n but can produce imbalance with
-small n; **block** guarantees balance throughout; **stratified block** additionally
-balances a known prognostic factor; **cluster** is mandatory when the intervention
-is delivered at a group level. See `references/randomization_and_blocking.md`.
-
-### DOE matrices — `scripts/doe_designs.py`
-
-```python
-from doe_designs import (
-    full_factorial, two_level_factorial, fractional_factorial,
-    plackett_burman, central_composite, box_behnken, latin_hypercube,
-)
-
-# Factors as real-world (low, high) ranges -> design comes back in real units
-factors = {"temp_C": (20, 60), "conc_mM": (1, 10), "pH": (6, 8)}
-
-# Full 2^3: all main effects + all interactions (8 runs), run order randomized
-design = two_level_factorial(factors, seed=42)
-
-# Screen 7 factors cheaply (main effects only)
-many = {f"factor_{i}": (0, 1) for i in range(7)}
-design = plackett_burman(many, seed=42)
-
-# Optimize over 2 factors with curvature (response-surface)
-design = central_composite({"temp_C": (20, 60), "conc_mM": (1, 10)}, seed=42)
-
-design.to_csv("experimental_runs.csv", index=False)
-```
-
-Run order is randomized by default so factors aren't confounded with time/drift
-(machine warm-up, reagent aging). See `references/factorial_and_doe.md` for picking
-generators, reading the alias structure, and choosing resolution.
-
----
-
-## The mistakes that ruin studies
-
-These are structural — they can't be fixed in analysis, only in design.
-
-1. **Pseudoreplication.** Treating repeated measurements of one unit as independent
-   replicates: 3 mice with 100 cells each is n = 3 (mice), not n = 300 (cells), for
-   any treatment applied to the mouse. The replicate must be at the level the
-   treatment is randomized. This single error invalidates a large share of published
-   experiments. Randomize and replicate at the right level; analyze with the nesting
-   respected (mixed model). See `references/design_types.md`.
-2. **Confounding by a nuisance variable.** Running all treatment samples on Monday
-   and all controls on Tuesday confounds treatment with day. Randomize across, or
-   block on, every nuisance factor you can name (batch, day, plate, technician,
-   instrument, position).
-3. **No or broken randomization.** Convenience assignment (first-come → treatment)
-   lets confounders sneak in. Use a seeded schedule and follow it.
-4. **No proper control.** Without a concurrent control (and, where relevant, a
-   vehicle/sham and blinding), you can't separate the treatment effect from time,
-   placebo, or handling effects.
-5. **Batch effects mistaken for biology.** In omics especially, process samples in a
-   randomized/blocked order across batches; never let batch align with the condition.
-6. **Edge/position effects on plates.** Evaporation and thermal gradients make plate
-   edges differ. Randomize or block sample positions; don't put all controls in
-   column 1.
-7. **Aliasing ignored in fractional designs.** A low-resolution fractional factorial
-   confounds main effects with interactions; know your alias structure before
-   concluding a factor "has no effect."
-8. **Optimizing without curvature.** A two-level factorial can't detect a curved
-   response; you'll miss an interior optimum. Use a response-surface design.
-
----
-
-## Workflow
-
-1. **State the question, the unit, and the response.** What is randomized? What is
-   measured? At what level is a true independent replicate? This determines everything.
-2. **List nuisance factors** (batch, day, site, operator, position) — plan to block,
-   stratify, or randomize across each.
-3. **Pick the design** using the decision tree and reference files.
-4. **Decide replication** at the correct level (and get n from the
-   **statistical-power** skill for the chosen design).
-5. **Generate the layout** with `randomization.py` / `doe_designs.py`, seeded.
-6. **Randomize run/processing order** and plate/batch positions.
-7. **Document** the design, seed, and schedule (pre-register if possible) so the
-   analysis is confirmatory and the layout is auditable.
-8. **Match the analysis to the design** — blocks, strata, clusters, and nesting must
-   appear in the model (hand off to **statistical-analysis** / **statsmodels**).

-## Safe local I/O contract
-
-Every CLI:
-
-1. accepts a regular file inside `--root`;
-2. rejects URLs, `..`, `~`, symlinks, multiply linked inputs, and special files;
-3. enforces a default 64 MiB input cap and a hard 512 MiB ceiling;
-4. verifies registered signatures where unambiguous and never uses generic
-   content sniffing;
-5. bounds rows, fields, columns, JSON nodes, archive expansion, sequence
-   records/bases, HDF5 objects/depth, image elements/pages, and report size;
-6. emits strict JSON or Markdown with tokenized identifiers by default;
-7. writes private atomic outputs and refuses overwrite without `--force`; and
-8. never makes network calls.
-
-`--reveal-identifiers` reveals only bounded sanitized basenames/field names.
-It never reveals full paths, row values, group/entity values, sequence titles,
-EXIF/tag values, OME-XML, or HDF5 attribute values. Deterministic tokens are
-pseudonyms, not anonymization.
-
-## Required EDA reasoning
-
-Before interpreting output, obtain or create:
-
-- a data dictionary with variable meaning, units, allowed ranges/categories,
-  precision, provenance, and derivations;
-- the observational unit and subject/sample/specimen/replicate hierarchy;
-- treatment/control, pairing, blocking, clustering, batch/site/instrument, and
-  time/spatial structure;
-- explicit missing codes and plausible missingness mechanisms;
-- censoring/detection conditions and LOD/LOQ fields;
-- train/validation/test boundaries and the unit/time/group used to split; and
-- which questions were pre-specified versus generated during EDA.
-
-Apply these rules:
-
-1. Preserve raw data read-only; write derived artifacts separately.
-2. Report scanned scope and truncation. Never extrapolate counts silently.
-3. Keep missing, structural absence, non-detect, below-LOQ, saturation, failure,
-   and true zero distinct. Never impute automatically.
-4. Compare mean/SD with median/IQR/MAD and show outlier influence. Flags are not
-   deletion rules.
-5. Record transformation formula/rationale and raw-scale results. Fit learned
-   parameters using training data only.
-6. Split subjects/groups/time before fitting imputers, scalers, encoders,
-   feature selection, PCA, batch correction, or models.
-7. Preserve repeated measures/pairing/clustering; do not treat rows, pixels,
-   tiles, spectra, cells, or frames as independent subjects.
-8. Label post hoc patterns as exploratory. Define the hypothesis family and
-   FWER/FDR procedure before confirmatory tests.
-9. Report effect sizes, uncertainty, assumptions, limitations, software
-   versions, exact commands, deterministic rules/seeds, and provenance.
-10. Do not make causal claims from associations.
-
-## Workflow
-
-### 1. Confirm authorization and root
-
-Use a dedicated approved directory. If the requested file is outside it,
-contains direct identifiers, or has unclear authorization, stop and ask for a
-safe copy/root. Do not broaden the root to bypass the boundary.
-
-### 2. Manifest before content analysis
-
-```bash
-python scripts/capability_manifest.py inspect data.csv \
-  --root /approved/project \
-  --output data.manifest.json
-```
-
-If status is `reference_only`, do not run `eda_analyzer.py`. Read the matching
-reference and select validated domain tooling. If unknown, stop.
-
-### 3. Run the narrowest automated tool
-
-General bounded report:
-
-```bash
-python scripts/eda_analyzer.py data.csv \

-These examples use placeholder identifiers. Do not place direct identifiers in
-commands or shared logs.
-
-### 4. Add scientific context
-
-Read the one relevant format reference. Do not load every reference:
-
-| Reference | Scope |
-|---|---|
-| `references/general_scientific_formats.md` | CSV/JSON/NumPy/HDF5, pandas/Polars, EDA/statistical rigor |
-| `references/bioinformatics_genomics_formats.md` | FASTA/FASTQ and reference-only genomics |
-| `references/microscopy_imaging_formats.md` | Pillow/TIFF/OME-TIFF and reference-only imaging |
-| `references/chemistry_molecular_formats.md` | Reference-only molecular/trajectory/QM routing |
-| `references/spectroscopy_analytical_formats.md` | Reference-only spectra/MS/vendor data |
-| `references/proteomics_metabolomics_formats.md` | Reference-only PSI/omics formats and quantitative tables |
-
-### 5. Create the report scaffold
-
-```bash
-python scripts/report_scaffold.py \
-  --input data.csv \
-  --root /approved/project \
-  --analysis-date 2026-07-23 \
-  --output data.eda.md
-```
-
-Complete `assets/report_template.md` with observed aggregate evidence,
-assumptions, sensitivity analyses, and limitations. Keep direct identifiers,
-raw values, paths, and sensitive metadata out of the report.
-
-## Output interpretation
-
-- “Not detected” means not detected within the bounded scanned scope.
-- A missingness gap or split overlap is a diagnostic flag, not proof of bias or
-  leakage.
-- IQR fences, MAD, trimmed means, winsorized means, and log diagnostics are
-  sensitivity summaries; the scripts do not modify data.
-- Generic HDF5/TIFF metadata is not H5AD/Loom/OME/vendor conformance.
-- Metadata-only image inspection is not pixel integrity or quantitative image
-  QC.
-- Sequence prefix aggregates are not complete read QC.
