Database Access Skills Index

Database Access Skills Index is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from aristoteleo/PantheonOS. It costs 73 tokens per session (1,937 once invoked), scanned A, original, BSD-2-Clause.

An index of skills for finding and downloading biological data, including gene information, sequencing reads, cancer studies, and single-cell datasets.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to retrieve gene or protein details, raw sequencing files, single-cell data, functional-genomics tracks, 3D-genome contact data, genome coordinates, or cancer-cohort measurements.
Why use it?
It helps identify the right public database when biological data is spread across many repositories with different formats and purposes.

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

Database Access Skills Index 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 6d 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.

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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 181 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Database Access Skills

Tools and workflows for accessing public biological databases, retrieving sequencing data, querying gene/protein information, pulling processed functional / 3D-genome tracks, fetching cancer-cohort data, and downloading large-scale single-cell datasets.

Quick map — which skill for what

If you need... Use
Gene / protein / variant metadata (Ensembl, UniProt, NCBI, …) gget
Raw sequencing reads (FASTQ) from SRA/ENA/GEO/DDBJ/GSA iSeq
Large-scale single-cell RNA-seq matrices CELLxGENE Census
Processed functional-genomics tracks (ChIP/ATAC/DNase/RNA-seq bigWig/BAM/peaks) ENCODE
3D-genome contact matrices (Hi-C / Micro-C / ChIA-PET .mcool / .hic) 4DN
liftOver, UCSC tracks, sequence pulls, large genome catalog UCSC
Cancer-cohort RNA-seq counts, MAF mutations, CNV, methylation (TCGA / CPTAC) GDC

The new four (ENCODE / 4DN / UCSC / GDC) are mostly orthogonal to the existing three — they cover processed tracks, 3D genome data, coordinate utilities, and cancer cohorts that gget / iSeq / Census don't reach.

Available Skills

gget — Genomic Database Querying

Python package and CLI tool with 23 interoperable modules for efficiently querying genomic databases including Ensembl, NCBI, UniProt, ARCHS4, Enrichr, COSMIC, OpenTargets, CellxGene, cBioPortal, PDB, and Bgee.

Skill file: gget.md

When to use:

  • Fetching reference genome/annotation download links (Ensembl)
  • Searching genes by keyword or retrieving gene metadata
  • Running BLAST/DIAMOND sequence alignment
  • Performing enrichment analysis (GO, KEGG, pathway)
  • Querying cancer mutations (COSMIC) or drug-target associations (OpenTargets)
  • Retrieving single-cell data from CZ CELLxGENE Discover
  • Looking up protein structures (PDB, AlphaFold)
  • Finding tissue expression patterns (ARCHS4, Bgee)
  • Plotting cancer genomics heatmaps (cBioPortal)

What ships with it

7 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.

Database Access Skills Index is a skill published in the GitHub repository aristoteleo/PantheonOS (482 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed BSD-2-Clause. It adds 73 tokens to every session and 1,937 once invoked, about $0.0004 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
