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 failed 1 of 6 checks. A failure is not proof of bad intent; it means something in the code needs a human to look at it before you run it.

  • No undeclared network calls: failed

    Contacts 1 host that is neither well-known infrastructure nor declared in the skill's frontmatter: www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov.

    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.

  • 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 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 dangeles/claude at f06426b141.

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

About this skill

What it does

This skill allows AI agents to analyze biological data, interpret genetic sequences, and perform basic bioinformatics tasks. It can identify genes within a DNA sequence, predict protein structure based on amino acid chains, and assist in understanding the implications of genomic variations. The agent leverages existing databases and algorithms for accurate analysis.

When to use it

  • Analyzing raw sequencing data from a lab experiment to identify potential genetic mutations.
  • Predicting the function of an unknown protein given its amino acid sequence.
  • Understanding the impact of specific gene variants on disease susceptibility.
  • Assisting researchers in designing experiments related to genomic analysis.

Key capabilities

  • Gene identification within DNA sequences
  • Protein structure prediction from amino acid chains
  • Genomic variation interpretation
  • Database access for biological information

Example prompts

  • "Identify all genes present in this DNA sequence: [sequence]"
  • "Predict the 3D structure of a protein with the following amino acid sequence: [sequence]"
  • "Explain the potential impact of this genomic variant on disease risk: [variant details]"

Tips & gotchas

The agent's accuracy depends on the quality and completeness of input data. Complex bioinformatics analyses may require further validation by human experts.
