sciagent-skill-creator

A scaffolding skill for creating a new entry in SciAgent-Skills, a collection of life-science skills. Scaffolding means generating the expected files and basic structure for a new entry.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create a new pipeline, toolkit, database, or guide entry, add it to the registry, and validate the result.
Why use it?
It handles the project’s required naming, metadata, registry, and validation rules, reducing mistakes when adding a skill.

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

sciagent-skill-creator 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 yesterday.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 2 executable files (scripts/scaffold.py, scripts/validate_description.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.

Files

What ships with it

2 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.

sciagent-skill-creator is a skill published in the GitHub repository jaechang-hits/SciAgent-Skills (356 stars, last pushed 3d ago), with no licence file. It adds 227 tokens to every session and 2,213 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 2026-08-30.

cellxgene-census-query

Query CZ CELLxGENE Census (61M+ cells). Filter by cell type/tissue/disease, retrieve expression data, and integrate with scanpy/PyTorch for population-scale single-cell analysis. Use this skill when: (1) Querying single-cell expression data by cell type, tissue, or disease, (2) Exploring available single-cell datasets…

genomics-alignment

Load when computing alignment QC metrics (mapping rate, MAPQ distribution, insert size, duplicate rate, proper-pair rate) from a SAM or BAM file produced by any short-/long-read aligner (BWA / Bowtie2 / Minimap2). Skip when running the alignment step itself; only FASTQ-level QC is needed (use genomics-qc).

TianGzlab/OmicsClaw · 79 tokens

genomics-epigenomics

Load when summarising a peak file (BED / narrowPeak) from ATAC-seq / ChIP-seq / CUT&Tag — peak count, width distribution, per-chromosome counts, score statistics. Skip when calling peaks from BAM (run MACS / Genrich externally first); working with single-cell ATAC (use scatac-preprocessing).

TianGzlab/OmicsClaw · 79 tokens

genomics-phasing

Load when summarising a phased VCF (output of WhatsHap / SHAPEIT5 / Eagle2) — phased fraction of het variants, phase-block N50, PS-field parsing, pipe-delimited genotype detection. Skip when the input is unphased (run a phaser first); calling small variants (use genomics-variant-calling).

TianGzlab/OmicsClaw · 77 tokens

genomics-qc

Load when running pre-alignment FASTQ quality control — Phred quality scores, Q20/Q30 rates, GC / N content, read-length distribution, adapter-contamination detection. Skip when working with already-aligned BAMs (use genomics-alignment); peak / variant files are the input (use the relevant downstream skill).
