develop-gc-method SKILL.md skillA
develop-gc-method from pjt222/agent-almanac is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.
mdr add pjt222/agent-almanac/develop-gc-method@v1.0Pins v1.0 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Develop a gas chromatography method from scratch: define analytical objectives, select column chemistry, optimize temperature programming, choose carrier gas and detector, and validate initial system performance for target analytes in a given matrix.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Develop a GC Method Systematic development of a gas chromatography method covering column selection, temperature program optimization, carrier gas and detector choice, and initial performance verification for volatile and semi-volatile analytes. ## When to Use - Starting a new GC analysis for volatile or semi-volatile compounds - Adapting a published method to a different instrument or matrix - Replacing an existing method that no longer meets performance requirements - Developing a method for compounds with known boiling points and polarities - Transitioning from a packed-column method to a capillary method ## Inputs ### Required - **Target analytes**: List of compounds with CAS numbers, molecular weights, and boiling points - **Sample matrix**: Description of the sample type (e.g., air, water extract, solvent solution, biological fluid) - **Detection limits**: Required LOD/LOQ for each analyte ### Optional - **Reference method**: Published method (EPA, ASTM, pharmacopeial) to use as a starting point - **Available columns**: Inventory of columns already on hand - **Instrument configuration**: GC model, available detectors, autosampler type …

How to install
mdr add pjt222/agent-almanac/develop-gc-method@sha256:f906f366026ddc3bThe line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
