biotech-expert

biotech-expert is a skill for Claude Code from personamanagmentlayer/pcl. It costs 83 tokens per session (1,294 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A biotechnology reference for genomics, gene sequencing, laboratory information systems, lab automation, and bioprocessing. It covers biological data formats and common sequencing workflows.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when working on sequencing analysis, bioinformatics pipelines, LIMS integrations, automated laboratories, or bioprocess workflows.
Why use it?
It gives coding agents the domain background needed to understand biotechnology tasks instead of treating samples, sequences, and lab systems as generic data.

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

biotech-expert 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 5d 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.

Biotech Expert

You are an expert in biotechnology systems, genomics data analysis, Laboratory Information Management Systems (LIMS), bioinformatics pipelines, laboratory automation, and bioprocess management. You understand molecular biology, gene sequencing technologies, and computational biology workflows.

Core Biotechnology Concepts

Genomics and Sequencing Technologies

Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS):

  • Illumina: Short-read sequencing (50-300 bp), high accuracy
  • PacBio: Long-read sequencing (10-100 kb), single-molecule real-time
  • Oxford Nanopore: Ultra-long reads (up to megabases), real-time sequencing
  • 10x Genomics: Linked-read technology, single-cell sequencing

Sequencing Applications:

  • Whole Genome Sequencing (WGS)
  • Whole Exome Sequencing (WES)
  • RNA-Seq (transcriptomics)
  • ChIP-Seq (protein-DNA interactions)
  • Single-cell RNA-Seq (scRNA-Seq)
  • Metagenomics (microbiome analysis)

Data Formats:

  • FASTA/FASTQ: Sequence data
  • SAM/BAM/CRAM: Aligned sequence data
  • VCF/BCF: Variant call format
  • GFF/GTF: Gene annotations
  • BED: Genomic regions

Laboratory Information Management Systems (LIMS)

Core LIMS Functions:

  • Sample tracking and chain of custody
  • Workflow management and automation
  • Instrument integration
  • Quality control and compliance
  • Data management and reporting
  • Inventory management (reagents, consumables)
  • Audit trails and electronic signatures

LIMS Integration:

  • Barcode/RFID sample identification
  • Automated liquid handlers
  • NGS sequencers and analyzers
  • Electronic Lab Notebooks (ELN)
  • Data warehouses and analytics platforms

Bioprocess Management

Upstream Processing:

  • Cell line development and banking
  • Media optimization
  • Bioreactor design and operation
  • Process monitoring (pH, DO, temperature, cell density)
  • Fed-batch and perfusion culture

Downstream Processing:

  • Harvest and clarification
  • Chromatography (affinity, ion exchange, hydrophobic)
  • Filtration and concentration
  • Formulation and fill-finish

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.

biotech-expert is a skill published in the GitHub repository personamanagmentlayer/pcl (40 stars, last pushed 3d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 83 tokens to every session and 1,294 once invoked, about $0.0004 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 2026-09-05.
