ensembl-annotation

ensembl-annotation is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from ammawla/encode-toolkit. It costs 152 tokens per session (3,812 once invoked), scanned A, original, AGPL-3.0.

A tool for querying Ensembl, a public database of genes and genomes, about regulatory regions, genetic variants, genes, and genomic coordinates.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps predict variant effects with VEP, check regulatory-region overlaps, convert coordinates between genome builds, look up genes, and find related database references.
Why use it?
It brings several common genome-annotation tasks into one workflow instead of requiring separate database lookups and manual coordinate conversions.

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

ensembl-annotation scanned grade A 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 4d 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.

Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.

Changes

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.
