sdrf-skills: Instructions file for Gemini CLI

GEMINI.md

sdrf-skills GEMINI.md is an instructions file for Gemini CLI from bigbio/sdrf-skills. It costs 1,240 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Repository instructions for sdrf-skills, a collection of workflows for creating and checking SDRF files. SDRF, or Sample and Data Relationship Format, records how proteomics samples and experiments are related.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them to find, annotate, validate, review, fix, or template SDRF files, and to screen proteomics studies from repositories such as PRIDE or MassIVE.
Why use it?
They explain the available workflows, annotation rules, templates, ontology checks, and quality reviews for producing consistent scientific metadata.

Instructions file for Gemini CLI

Written for Gemini CLI: the file is GEMINI.md. Also seen: mentions Claude Code.

This is bigbio/sdrf-skills's own configuration. It tells Gemini CLI how to work on sdrf-skills itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything sdrf-skills configures →

Runs only inside a plugin — its command needs a path that Claude Code sets for a plugin’s own hooks and for nothing else, and the catalogue could not identify which plugin ships it.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

sdrf-skills GEMINI.md scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured yesterday.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

sdrf-skills — SDRF Annotation Skills

Structured workflows for expert-level SDRF (Sample and Data Relationship Format) annotation in proteomics.

Available Workflows

The skills/ directory contains 20 workflow files (SKILL.md) that encode community annotation expertise. When working with SDRF files, consult the relevant skill:

  • Annotation: skills/sdrf-annotate/SKILL.md — create an SDRF from a PXD and always have it independently reviewed; review an existing .sdrf.tsv; or plan. The only entry point for annotation and review
  • Planning: skills/sdrf-annotate/SKILL.md — pre-annotation metadata strategy
  • Adversarial review: skills/sdrf-adversarial-review/SKILL.md — isolated evidence-first review with hash-bound approval
  • Contribute: skills/sdrf-contribute/SKILL.md — PR to community repository
  • Campaign: skills/sdrf-campaign/SKILL.md — screen a class of studies against your criteria, then loop annotate over the included ones

Specification Data

The SDRF specification lives in the spec/ git submodule:

  • Column definitions: spec/sdrf-proteomics/TERMS.tsv — read this for column names, ontology mappings, allowed values
  • Template manifest: spec/sdrf-proteomics/sdrf-templates/templates.yaml — read this for template inventory
  • Individual templates: spec/sdrf-proteomics/sdrf-templates/{name}/{version}/{name}.yaml

Skills reference these files at runtime. Never hardcode specification data.

Bundled tools: contract and build

Install the helpers once: pip install -e <sdrf-skills checkout> (brings sdrf-pipelines), then sdrf-tools doctor.

Set SDRF_SKILLS_ROOT to the sdrf-skills checkout: the skills resolve spec/, tools/ and data/ against it (Claude Code sets CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT instead).

Two deterministic helpers keep annotation short and structurally valid. Run them as sdrf-tools ...:

  • sdrf-tools contract -t ms-proteomics [-t human ...] — prints the column contract of the template union: every column in order, required/optional/multiple, value form, permitted reserved words and the ontologies to search. Read this instead of TERMS.tsv and the template YAMLs.
  • sdrf-tools build --samples samples.tsv --technical technical.tsv --files files.json -t ms-proteomics [-t ...] -o output.sdrf.tsv — expands a sample table (one row per source and replicate; files = the fractions of one injection; label = label free sample or one channel) plus a technical table (run-level comment[...] values, | between multiple values) into the SDRF: fractions, technical replicates, channel rows, repeated columns and column order are decided by code. It refuses, and writes nothing, on a file outside files.json, a file claimed twice, two rows sharing a (source, biological replicate, technical replicate, fraction) coordinate, or an incomplete channel map — it never fills a channel in.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
