sdrf-autoresearch

sdrf-autoresearch is a skill for Claude Code from bigbio/sdrf-skills. It costs 48 tokens per session (3,830 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An automated workflow for improving SDRF annotations, which are structured descriptions of samples and experiments in proteomics datasets.

In plain words
What is it for?
Annotating one dataset, a manifest, or groups of PRIDE datasets, then validating and refining the results until further improvements are unavailable.
Why use it?
It repeatedly reviews and fixes metadata to improve completeness without filling gaps through unsupported guesses.

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-autoresearch 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 5d 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.

SDRF Autoresearch Protocol

This workflow is a domain-specific autonomous loop for SDRF annotation. It is intended to function with minimal user supervision once the target and optimization goal are clear.

Use it when the user asks for:

  • annotation of all datasets in a category
  • repeated refine → validate → fix loops
  • maximum metadata completion without blind guessing
  • autonomous SDRF improvement until no more retained gains are possible

This is a protocol skill, not a dedicated runner script. Execute the loop by following the steps below and by calling the existing sdrf:* skills in order.

Console Triggers

Claude-style examples:

/sdrf-skills:sdrf-autoresearch target="all PRIDE cell line datasets"
/sdrf-skills:sdrf-autoresearch target="all sandbox crosslinking datasets" profile="crosslinking"
/sdrf-skills:sdrf-autoresearch target="manifest:data/cell_line_manifest.tsv" objective="maximize_valid_field_coverage"

Codex-style examples:

$sdrf-autoresearch target="all PRIDE cell line datasets"
$sdrf-autoresearch target="accessions:PXD001234,PXD005678" profile="clinical"
$sdrf-autoresearch target="all sandbox crosslinking datasets" objective="crosslinking_assay_completion" write="sandbox"

Step 1: Parse the Request into a Loop Config

Normalize the user request into these fields:

  • target

    • What dataset set to operate on
    • Examples:
      • all PRIDE cell line datasets
      • all sandbox crosslinking datasets
      • manifest:data/cell_line_manifest.tsv
      • accessions:PXD001234,PXD005678
  • profile

    • Domain preset that biases which templates, columns, and evidence sources matter most
    • Supported defaults:
      • general-proteomics
      • cell-line
      • crosslinking
      • clinical
      • immunopeptidomics
  • objective

    • The optimization target for retained improvements
    • Supported defaults:
      • maximize_valid_field_coverage
      • minimize_unknowns
      • crosslinking_assay_completion
      • cell_line_sample_completion
      • clinical_sample_completion

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.

sdrf-autoresearch is a skill published in the GitHub repository bigbio/sdrf-skills (18 stars, last pushed 5d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 48 tokens to every session and 3,830 once invoked, about $0.0002 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.
