genomics-variant-calling

genomics-variant-calling is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from TianGzlab/OmicsClaw. It costs 89 tokens per session (1,094 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A tool for summarising small DNA variants, such as single-letter changes and short insertions or deletions, from a VCF file. A VCF is a standard file that lists genetic variants found in sequencing data.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to count variants, split SNPs from indels, calculate the Ti/Tv ratio, and group variants by chromosome.
Why use it?
It provides common variant counts and distributions without running a separate variant-calling program.

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

genomics-variant-calling 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 7d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (genomics_variant_calling.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

When to use

The user has a VCF (or a BAM intended for calling) and wants small-variant summary statistics: total variant count, SNP / indel split, Ti/Tv ratio, per-chromosome distribution. The script does not invoke an external caller (GATK HaplotypeCaller, Mutect2, DeepVariant, FreeBayes, etc.) — it summarises an existing VCF or generates a demo VCF for downstream-skill smoke tests.

For variant filtering / normalisation use genomics-vcf-operations; for SVs use genomics-sv-detection; for functional annotation use genomics-variant-annotation.

Inputs & Outputs

Inputs

  • File types: .vcf, .bam

Outputs

  • tables/variants.csv
  • tables/variants_per_chrom.csv
  • report.md
  • result.json
  • Produces artifact genomics.variant_table as tables/variants.csv (csv)

Flow

  1. Load VCF (--input <file.vcf>) or generate a demo VCF at output_dir/demo_variants.vcf with --n-variants records (genomics_variant_calling.py:94).
  2. Parse records; classify SNP vs indel; compute Ti/Tv on biallelic SNPs.
  3. Aggregate per-chromosome counts.
  4. Write tables/variants.csv (genomics_variant_calling.py:300) + tables/variants_per_chrom.csv (:308) + report.md + result.json envelope (:314).

Gotchas

  • No external caller is invoked. This skill does NOT run GATK / Mutect2 / DeepVariant / FreeBayes — it ingests a VCF and summarises it. To actually CALL variants, run an external pipeline first; this skill consumes the resulting VCF.
  • --input REQUIRED unless --demo. genomics_variant_calling.py:289 raises ValueError("--input required when not using --demo"); non-existent paths raise FileNotFoundError at :292.
  • --n-variants only affects --demo (genomics_variant_calling.py:278, default 500). It is silently ignored when --input is set.
  • Multi-allelic VCF rows ARE split per-ALT. genomics_variant_calling.py:181-182 iterates for a in alt.split(","): and emits one CSV row per ALT allele. Output row counts therefore exceed input VCF line counts on multi-allelic data — no need to pre-normalise unless your downstream consumer requires one row per VCF line.
  • Demo VCF is a minimal SNV set (no indels, no structural variants, no genotype fields). Useful for orchestrator smoke tests; do NOT use for biological inference.

What ships with it

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.

genomics-variant-calling is a skill published in the GitHub repository TianGzlab/OmicsClaw (160 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 89 tokens to every session and 1,094 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 2026-08-30.
