$npx -y skills add KevinSpringer1/conserved-primer-design --skill primer-wetlab-qcUse when an agent must evaluate primer candidates for wet-lab constraints such as length, GC, Tm, degeneracy, self-complementarity, pair complementarity, and amplicon size.

| 3 | Use this skill after `primer_site` artifacts or external candidate generation. The bundled helper is dependency-free and conservative; final release should also run Primer3/ntthal or an equivalent thermodynamic tool when installed. |

| 5 | ```bash |
| 6 | python agentskill/scripts/primer_panel_qc.py qc-primers \ |
| 7 | --primers primer_pairs.csv \ |
| 8 | --output primer_qc.json \ |
| 9 | --csv-output primer_qc.csv \ |
| 10 | --min-primer-len 18 \ |
| 11 | --max-primer-len 30 \ |
| 12 | --min-tm 50 \ |
| 13 | --max-tm 68 \ |
| 14 | --max-degeneracy 16 |
| 15 | ``` |

| 17 | Review all pairs with: |
| 18 | |
| 19 | - `degeneracy_too_high`; |
| 20 | - `three_prime_*_complement_high`; |
| 21 | - `pair_complement_run_high`; |
| 22 | - `amplicon_length_out_of_range`; |
| 23 | - large Tm differences between forward and reverse primers. |
| 24 | |
| 25 | Treat `primer_qc.json` as a design gate before specificity screening and panel export. |
