jaspar-motifs

jaspar-motifs is a skill for Claude Code from ammawla/encode-toolkit. It costs 90 tokens per session (6,124 once invoked), scanned A, original, AGPL-3.0.

A guide for using JASPAR, a database of transcription-factor DNA-binding profiles, with ENCODE ChIP-seq data, which measures where proteins bind DNA.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to find transcription-factor motifs in ENCODE peaks, check ChIP-seq targets against known binding profiles, and scan regulatory DNA regions for possible binding.
Why use it?
It helps compare observed binding regions with known sequence patterns associated with transcription factors.

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

jaspar-motifs 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 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.

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.
