What this skill does
Bioinformatics Skills Gateway Use when asked about bioinformatics, genomics, sequencing, variant calling, gene expression, single-cell analysis, protein structure, pharmacogenomics, metagenomics, phylogenetics, or any computational biology task. This skill is a gateway to two open-source bioinformatics skill libraries. Instead of bundling hundreds of domain-specific skills, it indexes them and fetches what you need on demand. Sources ◆ bioSkills — 385 reference skills (code patterns, parameter guides, decision trees) Repo: https://github.com/GPTomics/bioSkills Format: SKILL.md per topic with code examples. Python/R/CLI. ◆ ClawBio — 33 runnable pipeline skills (executable scripts, reproducibility bundles) Repo: https://github.com/ClawBio/ClawBio Format: Python scripts with demos. Each analysis exports report.md + commands.sh + environment.yml. How to fetch and use a skill 1. Identify the domain and skill name from the index below. 2. Clone the relevant repo (shallow clone to save time): 3. Read the specific skill: 4. Follow the fetched skill as reference material. These are NOT Hermes-format skills — treat them as expert domain guides. They contain correct parameters, proper tool flags, and validated pipelines. …
