makefile-based-build-system-configuration

makefile-based-build-system-configuration is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from HolobiomicsLab/asb-skill-collections. It costs 68 tokens per session (1,926 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A setup step for a bioinformatics pipeline that checks required tools, libraries, paths, and version constraints through a Makefile. A Makefile is a configuration file that automates build and installation checks.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it before running a pipeline that depends on tools such as samtools, bowtie2, R packages, and Python libraries. It configures their locations and runs the installation checks.
Why use it?
It finds missing or incompatible dependencies before the main analysis starts, reducing setup failures in pipelines such as HiC-Pro.

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

makefile-based-build-system-configuration 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 9d 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.

Makefile-based build system configuration

Summary

Configure a pipeline's build system by editing a configuration file and running make install to detect, validate, and resolve dependencies (samtools, bowtie2, Python libraries) across heterogeneous systems. This skill ensures all required tools and their versions are correctly installed and recorded before executing the main workflow.

When to use

When deploying a complex bioinformatics pipeline (e.g., HiC-Pro) that depends on multiple external tools with version constraints (samtools ≥1.9, bowtie2, R packages, Python libraries) and you need to verify their availability and configure their paths before running the analysis. Apply this skill before attempting to run any downstream analysis stages.

When NOT to use

  • Input tools are already packaged in a containerized environment (Docker, Singularity) where versions are pre-configured—use the container directly instead.
  • The pipeline has been pre-compiled or pre-installed on a shared cluster with a module system (e.g., 'module load hicpro'); configuration is already applied.
  • You are running a lightweight analysis that does not depend on multiple versioned external tools with complex interdependencies.

Inputs

  • config-install.txt (text configuration file with tool path variables)
  • System environment variables ($PATH, $PYTHONPATH, $R_LIBS)
  • Tool binaries or source distributions available on the system

Outputs

  • config-system.txt (generated configuration file with resolved tool paths and versions)
  • Verified installation status of samtools (≥1.9), bowtie2, Python (>3.7) with libraries (pysam, bx-python, numpy, scipy), R (with ggplot2, RColorBrewer packages)

How to apply

Edit the config-install.txt file to specify the full path to each required tool binary (samtools, bowtie2, R, Python) or leave fields unset to allow automatic detection via the system PATH using the 'which' command. Execute 'make CONFIG_SYS=config-install.txt install' to trigger dependency checking and configuration validation, which tests version constraints (e.g., samtools ≥1.9), attempts automatic installation of missing tools if permitted, and generates a config-system.txt file recording all resolved tool paths. Verify the generated config-system.txt contains entries for all critical tools (samtools, bowtie2, Python interpreter, and required libraries) and confirms version requirements are satisfied before proceeding to the analysis workflow.

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.

makefile-based-build-system-configuration is a skill published in the GitHub repository HolobiomicsLab/asb-skill-collections (15 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 68 tokens to every session and 1,926 once invoked, about $0.0003 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.
