Skill metadata
Reference: full SKILL.md
The following is the complete skill definition that Mibyan loads when this skill is triggered. This is what the agent sees as instructions when the skill is active.
Bioinformatics Skills Gateway
Use when asked about bioinformatics, genomics, sequencing, variant calling, gene expression, single-cell analysis, protein structure, pharmacogenomics, metagenomics, phylogenetics, or any computational biology task. This skill is a gateway to two open-source bioinformatics skill libraries. Instead of bundling hundreds of domain-specific skills, it indexes them and fetches what you need on demand.Sources
◆ bioSkills — 385 reference skills (code patterns, parameter guides, decision trees) Repo: https://github.com/GPTomics/bioSkills Format: SKILL.md per topic with code examples. Python/R/CLI. ◆ ClawBio — 33 runnable pipeline skills (executable scripts, reproducibility bundles) Repo: https://github.com/ClawBio/ClawBio Format: Python scripts with demos. Each analysis exports report.md + commands.sh + environment.yml.How to fetch and use a skill
- Identify the domain and skill name from the index below.
- Clone the relevant repo (shallow clone to save time):
- Read the specific skill:
- Follow the fetched skill as reference material. These are NOT Mibyan-format skills — treat them as expert domain guides. They contain correct parameters, proper tool flags, and validated pipelines.

These skills assume a bioinformatics workstation. Common dependencies:Pitfalls
- The fetched skills are NOT in Mibyan SKILL.md format. They use their own structure (bioSkills: code pattern cookbooks; ClawBio: README + Python scripts). Read them as expert reference material.
- bioSkills are reference guides — they show correct parameters and code patterns but aren’t executable pipelines.
- ClawBio skills are executable — many have
--demoflags and can be run directly. - Both repos assume bioinformatics tools are installed. Check prerequisites before running pipelines.
- For ClawBio, run
pip install -r requirements.txtin the cloned repo first. - Genomic data files can be very large. Be mindful of disk space when downloading reference genomes, SRA datasets, or building indices.
