dnanexus-integration

dnanexus-integration is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from synthetic-sciences/openscience. It costs 49 tokens per session (2,413 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A guide to DNAnexus, a cloud platform for storing and analysing biomedical and genomics data. It covers programs, data objects, workflows, and the Python SDK used to work with the platform.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create DNAnexus apps, upload or download data, run workflows, manage projects, and process files such as FASTQ, BAM, and VCF.
Why use it?
It helps developers build analyses and move genomics files through cloud jobs without having to learn the platform's tools and conventions from scratch.

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

dnanexus-integration 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 4d 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.

DNAnexus Integration

Overview

DNAnexus is a cloud platform for biomedical data analysis and genomics. Build and deploy apps/applets, manage data objects, run workflows, and use the dxpy Python SDK for genomics pipeline development and execution.

When to Use This Skill

This skill should be used when:

  • Creating, building, or modifying DNAnexus apps/applets
  • Uploading, downloading, searching, or organizing files and records
  • Running analyses, monitoring jobs, creating workflows
  • Writing scripts using dxpy to interact with the platform
  • Setting up dxapp.json, managing dependencies, using Docker
  • Processing FASTQ, BAM, VCF, or other bioinformatics files
  • Managing projects, permissions, or platform resources

Core Capabilities

The skill is organized into five main areas, each with detailed reference documentation:

1. App Development

Purpose: Create executable programs (apps/applets) that run on the DNAnexus platform.

Key Operations:

  • Generate app skeleton with dx-app-wizard
  • Write Python or Bash apps with proper entry points
  • Handle input/output data objects
  • Deploy with dx build or dx build --app
  • Test apps on the platform

Common Use Cases:

  • Bioinformatics pipelines (alignment, variant calling)
  • Data processing workflows
  • Quality control and filtering
  • Format conversion tools

Reference: See references/app-development.md for:

  • Complete app structure and patterns
  • Python entry point decorators
  • Input/output handling with dxpy
  • Development best practices
  • Common issues and solutions

2. Data Operations

Purpose: Manage files, records, and other data objects on the platform.

Key Operations:

  • Upload/download files with dxpy.upload_local_file() and dxpy.download_dxfile()
  • Create and manage records with metadata
  • Search for data objects by name, properties, or type
  • Clone data between projects
  • Manage project folders and permissions

Common Use Cases:

  • Uploading sequencing data (FASTQ files)
  • Organizing analysis results
  • Searching for specific samples or experiments
  • Backing up data across projects
  • Managing reference genomes and annotations

What ships with it

5 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.

dnanexus-integration is a skill published in the GitHub repository synthetic-sciences/openscience (3,432 stars, last pushed today), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 49 tokens to every session and 2,413 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (runs shell commands). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
