self-awareness

Wisp-science's actual agent tool surface and runtime boundaries. Load this when deciding which Wisp tool can perform a task, checking whether Python can reach agent or desktop capabilities, choosing between interactive analysis and persisted Runs, or answering questions about delegation, images, skills, memory, artifacts, lineage, credentials, session history, and other self-introspection capabilities.

Who should use self-awareness?

It is relevant to workflows involving Research, Python.

How do you install self-awareness?

SkillSignal detected this source-specific command: npx skills add https://github.com/xuzhougeng/wisp-science --skill "skills/self-awareness". Inspect the repository and command before running it.

Which Agent platforms does it support?

The upstream source does not declare a dedicated Agent platform.

What permissions or risks should you review?

Static analysis detected exec-script signals. Review the cited source lines before installing; these signals are not a security audit.

What are the current evidence limits?

This page combines upstream documentation with deterministic repository, quality, and static-risk signals. It is not described as a manual test or security review.

dask by k-dense-ai

Distributed computing for larger-than-RAM pandas/NumPy workflows. Use when you need to scale existing pandas/NumPy code beyond memory or across clusters. Best for parallel file processing, distributed ML, integration with existing pandas code. For out-of-core analytics on single machine use vaex; for in-memory speed use polars.

neurokit2 by k-dense-ai

Use NeuroKit2 to build or audit reproducible research workflows for physiological time-series preprocessing, event/interval analysis, multimodal alignment, variability, and complexity. Trigger when code imports neurokit2 or needs its current APIs, schemas, and method-aware validation—not for diagnosis or device validation.

geofeed-tuner by github

Use this skill whenever the user mentions IP geolocation feeds, RFC 8805, geofeeds, or wants help creating, tuning, validating, or publishing a self-published IP geolocation feed in CSV format. Intended user audience is a network operator, ISP, mobile carrier, cloud provider, hosting company, IXP, or satellite provider asking about IP geolocation accuracy, or geofeed authoring best practices. Helps create, refine, and improve CSV-format IP geolocation feeds with opinionated recommendations beyon

biopython by k-dense-ai

Comprehensive molecular biology toolkit. Use for sequence manipulation, file parsing (FASTA/GenBank/PDB), phylogenetics, and programmatic NCBI/PubMed access (Bio.Entrez). Best for batch processing, custom bioinformatics pipelines, BLAST automation. For quick lookups use gget; for multi-service integration use bioservices.

arize-instrumentation by github

Adds Arize AX tracing to an LLM application for the first time. Follows a two-phase agent-assisted flow to analyze the codebase then implement instrumentation after user confirmation. Use when the user wants to instrument their app, add tracing from scratch, set up LLM observability, integrate OpenTelemetry or openinference, or get started with Arize tracing.

Self-awareness — Wisp's actual capabilities

Use only tools advertised in the current conversation. Wisp exposes agent and desktop capabilities as explicit tools; do not assume that an SDK documented by another application also exists here. Some tools are conditional on the desktop session, project settings, execution context, or capability grants. If a tool is not advertised, treat it as unavailable.

Python and R boundary

Use python for persistent Python analysis and r for persistent R analysis. Their variables and imports persist per project and execution context. Pass a context_id such as local, ssh:<alias>, or wsl:<distro> when the work must run somewhere other than the default local context.

The Python worker initializes an ordinary namespace with common standard-library modules and any available convenience packages. It does not inject a Wisp control-plane object. Code executed with python therefore cannot directly call the agent model, spawn Agents, submit or monitor Runs, inspect Wisp credentials, or query internal project/session metadata. Leave the Python cell and call the corresponding Wisp tool instead.

Resolve artifact ids to paths, list a generic artifact store, or inspect lineageNot availableUse ordinary project paths plus read/search/grep. Do not invent artifact ids, version ids, or lineage records. Run output registration is limited to the explicit output_specs contract of run_in_context.
Read credentials from Python or an agent toolNot availableWisp keeps secrets outside SQLite in its keyring path; no credential accessor is exposed to the agent.
Query frames, token/cost accounting, tool-call history, or the internal metadata DBNot availableUse only conversation context and tool results already provided. Do not claim access to hidden session tables or telemetry.

Choosing the right execution path

  1. Use python or r for interactive analysis whose next step depends on the computed result.
  2. Use run_in_context for persisted, recoverable, or long-running work. Use monitor_run once when the result is needed in the current task, or return the Run id for fire-and-forget work.
  3. Use explore when codebase understanding requires more than a couple of reads. Use delegate_tasks only when desktop delegation is currently advertised and the work benefits from independent or parallel Agents.
  4. Use ordinary project files for inputs and outputs. Never fabricate an artifact registry, lineage API, credential API, session database, or Python-side bridge for a capability that is not present.

For SSH-direct details, load remote-compute-ssh; its Run workflow and current limitations are the authoritative Wisp contract.
