bioSkills

Why we included this project

bioSkills is a collection of SKILLS.md files that hand AI coding agents like Claude Code, Codex, and Gemini the kind of domain knowledge a bioinformatics specialist would normally supply by hand. Each skill bundles code patterns, best practices, and worked examples, so an agent asked to run a variant call or a differential expression analysis produces idiomatic code rather than a plausible-looking guess. Coverage runs from basic sequence handling and BLAST searches up through variant calling, phylogenetics, differential expression, and single-cell RNA-seq, which makes it useful for everyone from undergrads learning computational biology to researchers processing large-scale data. The installers let you load only the categories a given project needs, and the project includes an evaluation against the Bio-Task Bench benchmark. It is a knowledge and workflow resource rather than a standalone tool, so expect to pair it with the Python, R, and CLI tooling it documents.
