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: eutils.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov, ftp.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 microck/ordinary-claude-skills at 1056d293d4.

    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 the ClinVar database, a public archive of reports describing relationships among human genes, genetic variants and phenotypes. It allows you to query this data for specific variant information, gene associations, or clinical significance classifications. The tool can retrieve detailed records about genetic variations and their impact on health.

When to use it

  • Researching the clinical significance of a particular genetic variant.
  • Investigating genes associated with a specific disease or phenotype.
  • Understanding the reported pathogenicity of a novel genetic variation.
  • Validating findings from other genomic analyses against established ClinVar data.

Key capabilities

  • Query the ClinVar database by gene name.
  • Retrieve variant details, including allele frequency and clinical classifications.
  • Access reports describing relationships between genes, variants, and phenotypes.

Example prompts

  • "What is the clinical significance of rs1234567?"
  • "Show me all variants associated with the BRCA1 gene."
  • “Retrieve the allele frequency for variant c.123A>G in the population.”

Tips & gotchas

The ClinVar database contains a large amount of data, and query results can be extensive. Be specific with your prompts to narrow down the search and retrieve relevant information efficiently.
