clinvar-database

clinvar-database is a skill for Claude Code from jimmc414/Kosmos. It costs 45 tokens per session (3,140 once invoked), scanned A, original, no licence file.

A tool for looking up how genetic variants are classified in NCBI ClinVar, a public database of links between DNA changes and health conditions.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to search by gene or genomic position, retrieve pathogenicity classifications, access ClinVar data through its API or FTP, and annotate VCF files.
Why use it?
It avoids manually searching variant records and comparing clinical significance labels. It can also provide data for checking variants in VCF files, a common format for genetic test results.

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

clinvar-database 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 2mo 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.

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.
