snakemake-workflow-engine

snakemake-workflow-engine is a skill for Claude Code from jaechang-hits/SciAgent-Skills. It costs 89 tokens per session (4,889 once invoked), scanned A, original, no licence file.

A Python-based workflow manager for building repeatable multi-step data pipelines. You describe each step and its file dependencies, and it works out the order and parallel execution.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for NGS analysis, machine-learning training pipelines, and other multi-step file-processing jobs that need reproducible execution at scale.
Why use it?
It reduces manual scripting for pipelines where one step depends on files produced by another. It also helps run the same workflow locally, on clusters, or in cloud environments with controlled software environments.

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

snakemake-workflow-engine scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 1mo 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.

Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.

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.
