What's inside
Your week is split between telescope time, messy data files, half-finished manuscripts, and reviewer comments. You lose hours moving between tools, retyping citations, checking statistics, and hunting for the one plot that explains the anomaly. The science waits while the admin piles up.
Skills for the whole job
Plan an observing run, fit a light curve, clean a catalog, check statistics, draft a manuscript, and review a paper, each handled by a skill built for astronomy.
28 ready-made prompts
Explaining astronomy clearly, coding your data analysis, interpreting observations, writing proposals, and preparing talks. Every prompt is written for astronomy work, so you paste it and go.
Three apps that link sources
A research workspace that keeps every claim tied to a source, a writing and review bench that shortens revision cycles, and a setup that cuts tool switching and reference errors.
A team of 12 agents
Astropy, Paper to Web, Peer Review, Academic Researcher, LaTeX Posters, Scientific Slides, Research Grants, Citation Management, LaTeX Paper Conversion, Papers, Qutip, and Statsmodels, each on call for a task.
Works in eight AIs
ChatGPT, Claude, Microsoft 365 Copilot, Gemini, Grok, Grok Bot, Cursor, and Kimi. Download once and it works inside the assistant you already have open.
Daily news, ideas, updates
Members get a live connection to Complete AI Training: the daily AI news for astronomers, a new idea every day with the prompt to use it, and automatic updates to every skill.
A day with your plugin
This plugin adds 17 skills, 28 prompts, and 3 apps to your AI assistant. Ask it to check a spectrum, clean a catalog, draft a proposal section, or work through a referee report. Everything stays in the chat window you already use, with your judgment in charge.
- Morning
A referee report arrives for your submitted paper. Ask the peer review skill to sort the comments by severity and flag the ones that need new analysis before you reply.
- Late morning
New spectra land from the telescope. The exploratory data analysis skill checks structure, quality, and gaps, then writes a short report listing next steps.
- Afternoon
A grant deadline is Friday. The technical proposal assistant pulls your supporting data, reshapes the aims section, and checks the page limits and required attachments.
- End of day
You are drafting a conference talk. The scientific slides agent turns your results into an outline, and the prompts library gives you a plain language version for a mixed audience.

Questions
What is a plugin, and how do I install it without technical knowledge?
A plugin is a set of instructions and files that teaches your AI new jobs. You download it once and follow a short setup guide, usually by dragging a file into your AI app or pasting a link. No coding needed.
Which AI does it work with?
ChatGPT, Claude, Microsoft 365 Copilot, Gemini, Grok, Grok Bot, Cursor, and Kimi. It runs inside the AI you already use, so there is no new account or tool to learn.
What is the difference between the member download and the 49 dollar one-time standalone plugin?
The member download adds the daily AI news, a new idea every day with its prompt, and automatic updates to every skill and prompt. The 49 dollar one-time standalone plugin has the same core content without those extras.
Is my data safe?
The plugin is instructions and files. Your chats stay with your AI provider and follow that provider's privacy terms. The plugin does not collect your data or send it anywhere else.
How many downloads do I get?
Members can download 2 plugins a day. That covers this astronomer plugin plus one more from the catalog, and your files stay in your account for later.
