bioinformatics-installer

bioinformatics-installer is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from ammawla/encode-toolkit. It costs 140 tokens per session (8,753 once invoked), scanned D, original, AGPL-3.0.

A guide for installing software used to analyze ENCODE and other genomics data, including command-line programs, R and Bioconductor packages, Python packages, and Nextflow infrastructure.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to prepare conda environments, R installation scripts, Python requirements, and tools such as BWA, STAR, samtools, MACS2, DESeq2, Scanpy, and Nextflow.
Why use it?
It organizes installation steps and creates environment or dependency files so the required analysis software can be set up consistently.

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 D, and why

bioinformatics-installer scanned grade D with 3 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 4d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 2 executable files (scripts/install-nextflow.sh, scripts/install-python-packages.sh), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

Asks for rootmediumPrivilege escalation

A mod that escalates privileges can change anything on the machine, not only the project.

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.

bioinformatics-installer is a skill published in the GitHub repository ammawla/encode-toolkit (24 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed AGPL-3.0. It adds 140 tokens to every session and 8,753 once invoked, about $0.0007 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it D with 3 findings (asks for root, downloads and executes remote code, makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
