bio-crispr-screens-prime-editing-screens

bio-crispr-screens-prime-editing-screens is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from GPTomics/bioSkills. It costs 213 tokens per session (4,328 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow for designing and analyzing pooled prime-editor screens, which install specific DNA changes using a guide RNA and repair template. It predicts guide efficiency, measures editing outcomes, and summarizes effects for each intended variant.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to design pegRNAs, filter candidates, measure precise editing with sequencing, and calculate fitness scores for installed variants.
Why use it?
It helps distinguish the desired edit from unwanted bystander edits, scaffold incorporation, and indels.

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

bio-crispr-screens-prime-editing-screens 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 8d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (examples/design_pegrna_pridict2.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.

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 — 311 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Version Compatibility

Reference examples tested with: PRIDICT2 v1.0+ (https://github.com/uzh-dqbm-cmi/PRIDICT2), CRISPResso2 2.2.14+, pandas 2.2+, biopython 1.83+, numpy 1.26+.

Before using code patterns, verify installed versions match. If versions differ:

  • CLI: python pridict2_pegRNA_design.py single --help; python pridict2_pegRNA_design.py batch --help
  • Web: PRIDICT2 web interface at https://pridict.it/

If code throws ImportError, AttributeError, or TypeError, introspect the installed package and adapt the example to match the actual API rather than retrying.

Prime-Editing Screen Analysis

"Design or analyze a pooled prime-editor screen" -> Design pegRNAs (spacer + scaffold + PBS + RTT) for intended edits, predict efficiency with PRIDICT2, filter pre-synthesis to efficient candidates, install variants in the screen, quantify intended-edit vs scaffold-incorporation vs indel via CRISPResso2, and aggregate to per-variant fitness scores.

  • Python: PRIDICT2 for pegRNA efficiency prediction
  • Python: ePRIDICT for chromatin-context prediction; pair with PRIDICT2 rather than replacing it
  • CLI: CRISPResso --prime_editing_pegRNA_* for amplicon-level analysis
  • Workflow: pegRNA library design -> PRIDICT2 filtering -> screen execution -> CRISPResso2 quantification -> per-variant scoring

Prime Editor Chemistry Comparison

Editor Year Mechanism Indel rate Use when
PE2 (Anzalone 2019) 2019 nCas9-RT fusion + pegRNA 1-3% Standard PE; lowest indel rate
PE3 2019 PE2 + nick of opposite strand by additional sgRNA 2-5% Higher editing efficiency, slightly more indels
PE3b 2019 PE3 with edit-blocking ssgRNA 1-3% When PE3's added nick risks unwanted indels
PEmax (Chen 2021) 2021 Engineered RT + nCas9 1-2% Higher editing rate per pegRNA
PE5max (Chen 2021) 2021 PE3 plus MMR inhibition (MLH1dn) on the PEmax architecture 1% Highest efficiency at favorable sites
PE6 / dual-pegRNA (2023) 2023 Engineered compact PE; twin-pegRNA systems Variable Specific applications

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.

bio-crispr-screens-prime-editing-screens is a skill published in the GitHub repository GPTomics/bioSkills (1,201 stars, last pushed 27d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 213 tokens to every session and 4,328 once invoked, about $0.0011 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 2026-09-03.
