gget

gget is a skill for Claude Code from dralkh/seerai. It costs 93 tokens per session (8,721 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of gget, MIT.

A command-line tool and Python package for querying more than 20 bioinformatics databases and analysis services. Bioinformatics uses software to study genes, DNA, proteins, diseases, and biological data.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to find gene information, run sequence searches such as BLAST or BLAT, download viral sequences, inspect AlphaFold protein structures, analyze enrichment, and query expression or disease data.
Why use it?
It avoids learning a separate interface for every database and supports quick interactive lookups from the command line or Python.

Skill for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: allowed-tools in frontmatter.

Needs its repository: it runs a file that does not travel with it, so clone the repository first. The line is gget enrichr -db pathway ACE2 AGT AGTR1 -ko ./kegg_images/.

Good fit Use it to find gene information, run sequence searches such as BLAST or BLAT, download viral sequences, inspect AlphaFold protein structures, analyze enrichment, and query expression or disease data.

Getting it into your agent

It runs from inside its repository, so the clone comes first — what it calls does not travel with the file alone.

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

gget 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 9d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 3 executable files (scripts/batch_sequence_analysis.py, scripts/enrichment_pipeline.py, scripts/gene_analysis.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

gget

Overview

gget is a command-line bioinformatics tool and Python package providing unified access to 20+ genomic databases and analysis methods. Query gene information, sequence analysis, protein structures, viral sequences, expression data, disease associations, and mouse tissue/cell specificity metrics through a consistent interface. Most gget modules work both as command-line tools and as Python functions.

Important: The databases queried by gget are continuously updated, which sometimes changes their structure. Guidance here targets gget 0.30.5 (PyPI current as of 2026-06-07). For reproducible work, pin gget==0.30.5; for broken upstream database adapters, update gget after checking release notes.

Installation

Install gget in a clean virtual environment to avoid conflicts:

# Reproducible install targeting this skill
uv venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate
uv pip install "gget==0.30.5"

# In Python/Jupyter
import gget

Quick Start

Basic usage pattern for all modules:

# Command-line
gget <module> [arguments] [options]

# Python
gget.module(arguments, options)

Most modules return:

  • Command-line: JSON (default) or CSV with -csv flag
  • Python: DataFrame or dictionary

Common flags across modules:

  • -o/--out: Save results to file
  • -q/--quiet: Suppress progress information
  • -csv: Return CSV format (command-line only)

Python argument names generally match long CLI options without leading dashes. For example, --census_version becomes census_version=.... Use gget <module> --help for the exact current signature.

Module Categories

1. Reference & Gene Information

gget ref - Reference Genome Downloads

Retrieve download links and metadata for Ensembl reference genomes.

Parameters:

  • species: Genus_species format (e.g., 'homo_sapiens', 'mus_musculus'). Shortcuts: 'human', 'mouse'
  • -w/--which: Specify return types as comma-separated CLI values or Python list (gtf, cdna, dna, cds, cdrna, pep). Default: all
  • -r/--release: Ensembl release number (default: latest)
  • -od/--out_dir: Directory for downloaded files
  • -l/--list_species: List available vertebrate species
  • -liv/--list_iv_species: List available invertebrate species
  • -ftp: Return only FTP links
  • -d/--download: Download files (requires curl)

What ships with it

6 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.

gget is a skill published in the GitHub repository dralkh/seerai (76 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 93 tokens to every session and 8,721 once invoked, about $0.0005 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (makes network calls). It is 100% identical to gget, differing in 0 lines, and is treated as a copy.
