gene-database

gene-database is a skill for Claude Code from jaechang-hits/SciAgent-Skills. It costs 63 tokens per session (4,854 once invoked), scanned B, original, no licence file.

A connection to NCBI Gene, a curated catalogue of genes from many species. Records include official names, alternative names, identifiers, summaries, genomic locations, functions, and interactions.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to match gene symbols and IDs, retrieve RefSeq identifiers and coordinates, read gene summaries and functions, and find interactions.
Why use it?
It avoids resolving gene names and identifiers manually across species and related databases.

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

gene-database scanned grade B with 2 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.

Sends data to an external URLmediumData exfiltration

A POST to an outside endpoint may be telemetry or may be exfiltration; either way the mod talks to somewhere, and you should know where.

A licence we could not identify

The repository carries a LICENSE file, but it is custom or dual enough that GitHub cannot name it and neither can this catalogue. Unknown terms are not permission, so the body is not copied here. Read the licence at the source and decide for yourself.

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.

gene-database is a skill published in the GitHub repository jaechang-hits/SciAgent-Skills (361 stars, last pushed 11d ago), with no licence file. It adds 63 tokens to every session and 4,854 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it B with 2 findings (sends data to an external url, makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
