SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires edison-client, and includes scripts (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Reduces curator time spent manually searching literature to enrich a single CultureMech medium record with organism-specific recipes, culture conditions, identifiers, and citation metadata.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Two-phase Edison deep research: runs a medium-level organism candidate search, then performs per-organism follow-ups to extract recipes and growth evidence from primary publications.
  • Curation-focused outputs: generates a single roll-up report containing proposed YAML changes ready for curator review rather than unstructured notes.
  • Safety guardrails for research spend: supports dry-run query rendering, detects existing research outputs to avoid accidental re-billing, and caps per-medium organism follow-ups by default.
  • Auditability and provenance: writes per-task meta, full response payloads, parsed citations, and artifact inventories so results can be re-checked without re-querying.

Quick Start

Run a two-phase deep research for the medium file and produce the curator hand-off report with: uv run --extra dev python -m scripts.deep_research_medium --input <slug-or-id-or-path> --dry-run

Frequently Asked Questions about deep-research-medium

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I extract microbial culture media recipes from research literature?

Microbial culture media recipes are extracted by running a two-phase Edison literature workflow that identifies candidate organisms and then extracts per-organism ingredients, culture conditions, and identifiers for proposed YAML updates.

How do I automate literature mining for organism-specific growth evidence?

Literature mining for organism-specific growth evidence is automated through a two-phase Edison deep research process, searching primary publications for candidate organisms and extracting recipes, conditions, and citation metadata.

Can I dry-run Edison literature queries to preview research spend?

Yes, Edison queries can be rendered in dry-run mode to preview research spend, and existing research outputs are detected to prevent accidental re-billing during literature mining tasks.

Does deep-research-medium require a normalized YAML file to process culture media?

Yes, deep-research-medium requires resolving the target medium to a normalized YAML file before extracting organism-specific ingredients, culture conditions, identifiers, and citation metadata.

What audit trails are generated when extracting culture media recipes from publications?

Audit trails include per-task meta files, full response payloads, parsed citations, and artifact inventories, ensuring literature mining results can be re-checked without re-querying.

What is the best way to curate organism-specific culture conditions from primary publications?

The best way to curate organism-specific culture conditions is generating a single roll-up report containing proposed YAML changes ready for curator review, rather than unstructured notes.
