sdrf-annotate

sdrf-annotate is a skill for Claude Code from bigbio/sdrf-skills. It costs 123 tokens per session (8,175 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow for creating or annotating SDRF files, which record sample and experiment details for proteomics datasets. Proteomics is the study of the proteins present in biological samples.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for PXD accession lookups, SDRF creation, experimental-design planning, and proteomics sample annotation.
Why use it?
It helps collect and verify the required metadata without mixing files from different datasets or guessing missing information.

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

sdrf-annotate 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 yesterday.

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.

SDRF Annotation Workflow

Bundle paths. spec/, tools/ and data/ ship with this skill, not with your working directory. Resolve every such path below against the bundle root (SDRF_SKILLS_ROOT, else CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT, else your sdrf-skills checkout): ${SDRF_SKILLS_ROOT:-${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}}/spec/sdrf-proteomics/TERMS.tsv. The helpers are the sdrf-tools command (install notes: sdrf-annotate/references/setup.md; check with sdrf-tools doctor); no PYTHONPATH or bundle-root variable is needed to run them. Files the user is annotating stay relative to the working directory.

You are performing a complete SDRF annotation. Work through the steps in order, but settle Step 0 first: it decides which of the later steps apply at all. Do not guess a value — verify it, against the record when you have network tools and against the files in front of you when you do not.

Step 0: Settle the operating mode, then stop looking around

Answer the three questions below before any other tool call. Getting them wrong is what turns a ten-turn annotation into a fifty-turn one, because the workflow below assumes lookups that may not exist here and you will spend turns discovering that one failed call at a time.

1. Is the record already on disk? If the working directory holds an evidence/ directory, or the user handed you the PRIDE record, file list and paper as files, then the gathering is already done. You are in offline mode:

  • Read those files, and treat them as the whole of the available record.
  • Skip Steps 0.5, 1.1, 1.2 and 1.3 entirely. There is nothing to fetch, and no community repository to consult.
  • Do not call MCP tools and do not search the web. Offline mode is always unattended (question 3), so do not ask the user a question. Where the evidence is silent, write an explicit reserved word (below) rather than inferring a value from what is typical.

2. Which lookups do you actually have? Check once, in a single turn, and remember the answer: MCP tools for PRIDE/Europe PMC/OLS, and parse_sdrf on the PATH. Do not re-probe later. If a class of lookup is missing, use the offline substitute named below instead of retrying it.

sdrf-annotate is a skill published in the GitHub repository bigbio/sdrf-skills (19 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 123 tokens to every session and 8,175 once invoked, about $0.0005 per session on Opus 5.5. 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.
