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

Nobody has reviewed this code. TrustedSkills indexes and links skills; it does not audit, run or scan them. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent — read the source before you install it.

About this skill

What it does

This skill provides programmatic access to the COSMIC (Catalogue of Somatic Mutations in Cancer) database, a comprehensive resource for exploring somatic mutations in human cancer. It enables AI agents to download and analyze data including millions of mutations across thousands of cancer types, curated gene lists, mutational signatures, clinical annotations, structural variants, copy number alterations, and gene fusions. The skill requires user authentication with COSMIC.

When to use it

  • Downloading cancer mutation data for research or analysis.
  • Accessing the Cancer Gene Census (a list of over 700 curated cancer genes).
  • Retrieving mutational signature profiles.
  • Analyzing drug resistance mutations in cancer.
  • Working with cancer cell line genomics data.
  • Integrating COSMIC mutation data into bioinformatics pipelines.

Key capabilities

  • Downloads comprehensive mutation data (point mutations, indels, genomic annotations) in TSV and VCF formats.
  • Provides access to the Cancer Gene Census.
  • Retrieves sample metadata and tumor information.
  • Supports downloading specific files or entire datasets based on data type and genome assembly.

Example prompts

  • "Download the latest CosmicMutantExport mutation data."
  • "Get me the Cancer Gene Census in CSV format."
  • "Retrieve mutational signature profiles for [specific cancer type]."

Tips & gotchas

  • Account Registration Required: COSMIC requires registration (academic or commercial license) to download data. Academic users register at https://cancer.sanger.ac.uk/cosmic/register, while commercial users need a QIAGEN license.
  • Python Dependencies: The skill utilizes Python and requires the requests and pandas libraries (pip install requests pandas).
  • Authentication: You will need to provide your COSMIC email address and password for data downloads.
