How does this skill access the MATS handbook?

The skill uses a curl command to fetch a markdown version of the MATS Notion handbook through the Firecrawl API, ensuring it has the most current text to analyze.

What specific topics can I ask about?

You can ask about compute access, housing, illness policies, reimbursements, mentor meetings, program schedules, and any other logistics related to the MATS cohort.

Can it follow links to external documentation?

Yes, if the handbook contains links to other Notion pages (like specific Compute Docs), the skill can fetch and read those linked pages to provide more detail.

How is the information presented?

The skill provides a clear two-part response: verbatim quotes from the handbook for accuracy, followed by an interpretation or summary that directly addresses your question.
