Live repository

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 2 hosts that are neither well-known infrastructure nor declared in the skill's frontmatter: api.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov, eutils.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 jimmc414/kosmos at 6cfe7f690d.

    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 provides access to a gene database. It allows users to query and retrieve information about genes, including their sequences, functions, and related pathways. The database can be used for research, analysis, or educational purposes related to genetics and molecular biology.

When to use it

  • Researching genetic diseases: Identify specific genes associated with a particular disease and learn more about their roles.
  • Analyzing gene expression data: Retrieve gene sequences and annotations to interpret experimental results.
  • Educational exploration of genetics: Learn about the function of specific genes or pathways in biological processes.
  • Understanding evolutionary relationships: Compare gene sequences across different species to understand evolutionary history.

Key capabilities

  • Gene sequence retrieval
  • Gene function annotation access
  • Pathway information lookup
  • Database querying

Example prompts

  • "What is the sequence of the BRCA1 gene?"
  • "Describe the function of the TP53 gene."
  • "Show me genes involved in the insulin signaling pathway."

Tips & gotchas

The database may contain technical terminology. Familiarity with basic genetics concepts will improve your ability to interpret the results.
