Biomni combines a general research agent with reusable Skills and a browsable catalog of Capabilities. Use a Skill when you want a tested workflow with clear instructions. Browse Capabilities when you want examples of the research questions Biomni can handle.

​
Skills

A Skill is a packaged workflow for a specific kind of work. It can include instructions, supporting references, scripts, and expected outputs. To use one in a task:
  1. Select + Add in the composer.
  2. Choose Skills. You can also type + in the composer.
  3. Search or browse the catalog.
  4. Select a Skill to attach it, then describe your data and goal.
The attached Skill appears in your message. Biomni reads it when it starts that turn and follows its workflow alongside your request.
Attach only the Skills that are relevant to the current task. Extra instructions consume context and can pull the analysis in competing directions.

​
Project-attached Skills

Project admins can make selected Skills apply automatically to the first message of each new task:
  1. Open Settings → Projects.
  2. Select the project.
  3. Add Skills under Auto attached skills.
Project settings are captured when a task is created. Changing the list affects new tasks, not existing conversations.

​
Capabilities

The Capabilities catalog groups example analyses by scientific area and outcome. Use it to discover a starting prompt, understand typical inputs and outputs, or open a new task for a supported workflow. Capabilities are examples, not rigid templates. After opening one, adapt the prompt to your experiment, files, organism, constraints, and desired output.
