Turn Claude Into Your Personal Research Assistant

Claude Scientific Skills give Claude super powers, not just on coding, but about any science. We try them out to see what's on offer. But first of all what are Claude Skills. If you're familiar with CustomGPTs then Skills is something similar. They both enable the LLM to access specialized agents. In the Skills case, they are shaped as plugins which comprise of a mix of instructions, scripts, and resources that Claude can load dynamically when trying to perform a task. https://www.i-programmer.info/news/105-artificial-intelligence/18534-turn-claude-into-your-personal-research-assistant.html
