configuration-file-generation-and-templating

configuration-file-generation-and-templating is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from HolobiomicsLab/asb-skill-collections. It costs 70 tokens per session (2,108 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A method for generating configuration files for complex bioinformatics pipelines, such as HiC-Pro, which analyses DNA contact data. It detects or records tool locations and versions, adapts settings to different job schedulers, and locks the finished configuration.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when setting up or reconfiguring HiC-Pro-like pipelines with tools such as bowtie2, samtools, R, and Python on varied computing environments.
Why use it?
It removes manual path management when programs are installed in different locations or versions across computing clusters. It also helps prevent a running pipeline from using an accidentally changed configuration.

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

configuration-file-generation-and-templating 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 11d 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.

Summary

Generate environment-specific configuration files by reading user-editable templates, detecting installed dependencies via system PATH queries, validating version requirements, and locking the final config to prevent accidental modification during pipeline execution. This skill ensures HiC-Pro and similar multi-tool pipelines can adapt to diverse cluster and installation environments without manual binary path management.

When to use

When deploying a complex bioinformatics pipeline (like HiC-Pro) across heterogeneous computing environments where required tools (bowtie2, samtools, R, Python) may be installed in non-standard locations, differ in version, or require scheduler-specific configuration (TORQUE, SGE, SLURM, LSF). Use this skill during initial setup or reconfiguration when dependencies must be auto-detected or user-specified, and their paths must be reliably recorded for all downstream workflow steps.

When NOT to use

  • Pipeline is already configured and config-system.txt exists and is locked — re-running configuration generation may conflict with active job submissions.
  • All required tools are provided pre-containerized (Docker, Singularity, conda environment) — configuration file generation is redundant if the container already bundles all binaries with fixed paths.
  • User requires manual control over tool selection or version pinning per workflow step — this skill generates a single locked config that applies uniformly to all steps.

Inputs

  • config-install.txt template file with placeholder paths and cluster scheduler type
  • system $PATH environment variable
  • user-edited config-install.txt (optional; may contain explicit tool paths)

Outputs

  • config-system.txt locked configuration file with resolved paths for all dependencies
  • installed bowtie2 and samtools binaries (if auto-installation was triggered)
  • validated Python, R, and tool environment ready for pipeline execution

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.
