Not pinned. Installing fetches whatever the repository holds at the time you run the command.

No human has reviewed this code. The checks below are a static scan of the files at one commit — nobody has run this skill or judged whether it works. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent, so read the source before you install it.

Automated safety checks

scanned

This skill passed all 6 checks. We read its files at one commit and looked for the things that make a skill dangerous to run — not for whether it works.

  • Declares what it does: passed

    SKILL.md parses and declares a name and a description.

    SKILL.md exists, its frontmatter parses, and it declares a name and a description.

  • No undeclared network calls: passed

    Makes no network calls.

    Every host the skill dials — from its scripts, its config endpoints or the commands it tells the agent to run — is either well-known package and API infrastructure or declared in its own frontmatter. Links in documentation are not counted.

  • No obfuscated payloads: passed

    No encoded or obfuscated payloads.

    No base64, hex or compressed blob is decoded and then executed, and no encoded shell commands.

  • No credential access: passed

    Reads no keys, tokens, keychains or credential files.

    Neither the code nor the SKILL.md instructions read SSH keys, cloud credentials, keychains, token stores, browser cookie databases or dotfiles that hold secrets.

  • No pipe-to-shell installers: passed

    No pipe-to-shell or download-and-run installers.

    No `curl … | sh` pattern, in the code or in the instructions, that runs code fetched at run time.

  • Pinned to a commit: passed

    Scanned aminoanalytica/amina-skills at e0ff001af3.

    The exact upstream commit SHA that was scanned is recorded, so the result refers to specific bytes.

This is a static scan, not a review. It reads the skill's files; it does not run them, and it cannot tell you whether the skill is any good or whether the code does what its description says. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent.

About this skill

What it does

This skill leverages the Biopython library to perform a variety of bioinformatics tasks. It can parse sequence files (like FASTA), analyze protein sequences, and conduct basic molecular biology calculations. The tool provides access to powerful tools for working with biological data directly within an AI agent workflow.

When to use it

  • Analyzing newly sequenced DNA or protein data to identify potential genes or functional domains.
  • Comparing multiple protein sequences to understand evolutionary relationships.
  • Calculating the molecular weight of a peptide sequence.
  • Converting between different sequence file formats (e.g., FASTA to GenBank).
  • Extracting specific information from biological databases using Biopython's parsing capabilities.

Key capabilities

  • Sequence Parsing: Reads and interprets various sequence file formats.
  • Protein Analysis: Performs analysis on protein sequences, including identifying amino acid composition.
  • Molecular Weight Calculation: Calculates the molecular weight of peptide sequences.
  • File Format Conversion: Converts between different biological sequence file formats.

Example prompts

  • "Parse this FASTA file and tell me the length of each sequence."
  • "What is the molecular weight of the protein sequence 'MVHLTPEEKS'."
  • "Convert this GenBank record to a FASTA format."

Tips & gotchas

  • Requires familiarity with bioinformatics concepts.
  • The Biopython library can be complex; start with simple tasks and gradually explore more advanced features.
