bioinformatics

bioinformatics is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from aivrar/portable-hermes-agent. It costs 15 tokens per session (3,372 once invoked), scanned B, a copy of bioinformatics, MIT.

A gateway to reference material and runnable pipelines for bioinformatics, the use of computing to study biological data such as DNA sequences, gene activity, proteins, and variants.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for genomics, sequencing, variant calling, gene-expression and single-cell analysis, protein structure, pharmacogenomics, metagenomics, and phylogenetics.
Why use it?
It avoids bundling hundreds of specialist resources by finding and fetching the relevant computational biology skill when needed.

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 B, and why

bioinformatics scanned grade B with 1 finding 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 7d ago.

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.

Bioinformatics Skills Gateway

Use when asked about bioinformatics, genomics, sequencing, variant calling, gene expression, single-cell analysis, protein structure, pharmacogenomics, metagenomics, phylogenetics, or any computational biology task.

This skill is a gateway to two open-source bioinformatics skill libraries. Instead of bundling hundreds of domain-specific skills, it indexes them and fetches what you need on demand.

Sources

bioSkills — 385 reference skills (code patterns, parameter guides, decision trees) Repo: https://github.com/GPTomics/bioSkills Format: SKILL.md per topic with code examples. Python/R/CLI.

ClawBio — 33 runnable pipeline skills (executable scripts, reproducibility bundles) Repo: https://github.com/ClawBio/ClawBio Format: Python scripts with demos. Each analysis exports report.md + commands.sh + environment.yml.

How to fetch and use a skill

  1. Identify the domain and skill name from the index below.
  2. Clone the relevant repo (shallow clone to save time):
    # bioSkills (reference material)
    git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/GPTomics/bioSkills.git /tmp/bioSkills
    
    # ClawBio (runnable pipelines)
    git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/ClawBio/ClawBio.git /tmp/ClawBio
    
  3. Read the specific skill:
    # bioSkills — each skill is at: <category>/<skill-name>/SKILL.md
    cat /tmp/bioSkills/variant-calling/gatk-variant-calling/SKILL.md
    
    # ClawBio — each skill is at: skills/<skill-name>/
    cat /tmp/ClawBio/skills/pharmgx-reporter/README.md
    
  4. Follow the fetched skill as reference material. These are NOT Hermes-format skills — treat them as expert domain guides. They contain correct parameters, proper tool flags, and validated pipelines.

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.

bioinformatics is a skill published in the GitHub repository aivrar/portable-hermes-agent (217 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 15 tokens to every session and 3,372 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it B with 1 finding (asks for root). It is 100% identical to bioinformatics, differing in 0 lines, and is treated as a copy.
