cosmic-database

cosmic-database is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Zaoqu-Liu/ScienceClaw. It costs 39 tokens per session (2,565 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of cosmic-database, MIT.

A workflow for accessing COSMIC, a cancer research database of mutations and other genomic changes found in tumors. It requires authentication and may require a commercial license.

In plain words
What is it for?
Querying somatic mutations, cancer-related genes, mutational signatures, gene fusions, structural variants, copy-number changes, and drug-resistance mutations.
Why use it?
It brings cancer mutation data into research and analysis workflows without requiring each task to gather the data manually.

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

cosmic-database 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.

Origin

This is a copy

86% identical to cosmic-database — 6 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

COSMIC Database

Overview

COSMIC (Catalogue of Somatic Mutations in Cancer) is the world's largest and most comprehensive database for exploring somatic mutations in human cancer. Access COSMIC's extensive collection of cancer genomics data, including millions of mutations across thousands of cancer types, curated gene lists, mutational signatures, and clinical annotations programmatically.

When to Use This Skill

This skill should be used when:

  • Downloading cancer mutation data from COSMIC
  • Accessing the Cancer Gene Census for curated cancer gene lists
  • Retrieving mutational signature profiles
  • Querying structural variants, copy number alterations, or gene fusions
  • Analyzing drug resistance mutations
  • Working with cancer cell line genomics data
  • Integrating cancer mutation data into bioinformatics pipelines
  • Researching specific genes or mutations in cancer contexts

Prerequisites

Account Registration

COSMIC requires authentication for data downloads:

Python Requirements

uv pip install requests pandas

Quick Start

1. Basic File Download

Use the scripts/download_cosmic.py script to download COSMIC data files:

from scripts.download_cosmic import download_cosmic_file

# Download mutation data
download_cosmic_file(
    email="[email protected]",
    password="your_password",
    filepath="GRCh38/cosmic/latest/CosmicMutantExport.tsv.gz",
    output_filename="cosmic_mutations.tsv.gz"
)

2. Command-Line Usage

# Download using shorthand data type
python scripts/download_cosmic.py [email protected] --data-type mutations

# Download specific file
python scripts/download_cosmic.py [email protected] \
    --filepath GRCh38/cosmic/latest/cancer_gene_census.csv

# Download for specific genome assembly
python scripts/download_cosmic.py [email protected] \
    --data-type gene_census --assembly GRCh37 -o cancer_genes.csv

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.

cosmic-database is a skill published in the GitHub repository Zaoqu-Liu/ScienceClaw (59 stars, last pushed 5mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 39 tokens to every session and 2,565 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. It is 86% identical to cosmic-database, differing in 6 lines, and is treated as a copy.
