bio-workflows-edna-pipeline

bio-workflows-edna-pipeline is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from thesecondfox/skill. It costs 72 tokens per session (4,333 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An environmental-DNA metabarcoding workflow. Environmental DNA, or eDNA, is genetic material collected from water, soil, or other surroundings to identify species and communities.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to assign taxonomy, estimate biodiversity with Hill numbers, and study how species communities relate to environmental conditions.
Why use it?
It turns raw amplicon reads into cleaned taxonomic and ecological results while handling primer removal, denoising, and contamination filtering.

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

bio-workflows-edna-pipeline 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 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.

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.

Version Compatibility

Reference examples tested with: DADA2 1.30+, FastQC 0.12+, MultiQC 1.21+, cutadapt 4.4+, phyloseq 1.46+, vegan 2.6+

Before using code patterns, verify installed versions match. If versions differ:

  • R: packageVersion('<pkg>') then ?function_name to verify parameters
  • CLI: <tool> --version then <tool> --help to confirm flags

If code throws ImportError, AttributeError, or TypeError, introspect the installed package and adapt the example to match the actual API rather than retrying.

eDNA Metabarcoding Pipeline

"Process my eDNA samples from raw reads to community ecology" → Orchestrate primer removal, denoising (OBITools3 or DADA2), contamination filtering, taxonomy assignment, Hill number diversity estimation, and constrained ordination for species-environment analysis.

Complete workflow from raw amplicon sequences to community ecology analysis, supporting both OBITools3 and DADA2 processing paths.

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.

bio-workflows-edna-pipeline is a skill published in the GitHub repository thesecondfox/skill (3 stars, last pushed 5mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 72 tokens to every session and 4,333 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 2026-09-03.
