bioinformatics

bioinformatics is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from braxtonROSE4/zorro-agent. It costs 55 tokens per session (3,398 once invoked), scanned B, a copy of bioinformatics, MIT.

A gateway to more than 400 bioinformatics skills, covering computational work with genes, sequencing data, proteins, and related biological data. It fetches topic-specific reference material or runnable pipeline skills when needed.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for genomics, transcriptomics, single-cell analysis, variant calling, pharmacogenomics, metagenomics, phylogenetics, protein structure, and related Python, R, or command-line workflows.
Why use it?
It avoids requiring one package to contain every specialist workflow and gives developers access to domain guidance for different biology tasks.

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 B, and why

bioinformatics scanned grade B 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 8d 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.

A mod that escalates privileges can change anything on the machine, not only the project.

Bioinformatics Skills Gateway

Use when asked about bioinformatics, genomics, sequencing, variant calling, gene expression, single-cell analysis, protein structure, pharmacogenomics, metagenomics, phylogenetics, or any computational biology task.

This skill is a gateway to two open-source bioinformatics skill libraries. Instead of bundling hundreds of domain-specific skills, it indexes them and fetches what you need on demand.

Sources

bioSkills — 385 reference skills (code patterns, parameter guides, decision trees) Repo: https://github.com/GPTomics/bioSkills Format: SKILL.md per topic with code examples. Python/R/CLI.

ClawBio — 33 runnable pipeline skills (executable scripts, reproducibility bundles) Repo: https://github.com/ClawBio/ClawBio Format: Python scripts with demos. Each analysis exports report.md + commands.sh + environment.yml.

How to fetch and use a skill

  1. Identify the domain and skill name from the index below.
  2. Clone the relevant repo (shallow clone to save time):
    # bioSkills (reference material)
    git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/GPTomics/bioSkills.git /tmp/bioSkills
    
    # ClawBio (runnable pipelines)
    git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/ClawBio/ClawBio.git /tmp/ClawBio
    
  3. Read the specific skill:
    # bioSkills — each skill is at: <category>/<skill-name>/SKILL.md
    cat /tmp/bioSkills/variant-calling/gatk-variant-calling/SKILL.md
    
    # ClawBio — each skill is at: skills/<skill-name>/
    cat /tmp/ClawBio/skills/pharmgx-reporter/README.md
    
  4. Follow the fetched skill as reference material. These are NOT Zorro-format skills — treat them as expert domain guides. They contain correct parameters, proper tool flags, and validated pipelines.

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.

bioinformatics is a skill published in the GitHub repository braxtonROSE4/zorro-agent (8 stars, last pushed 4mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 55 tokens to every session and 3,398 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it B with 1 finding (asks for root). It is 92% identical to bioinformatics, differing in 10 lines, and is treated as a copy.
