What it does

Biomaster is an agent skill from ai4nucleome/BioMaster. BioMaster conversational bioinformatics assistant; starts workflows only after execution intent or empty activation.

Its SKILL.md is about 2.1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts. Compatibility notes: opencode

It sits in Research & Science, covering Bioinformatics. It works with SQLite.

Requirements

Python 3
Compatibility (from SKILL.md): opencode

Workflow steps

2 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

First ask for the analysis objective in English. Offer a few broad examples only, such as differential analysis, cell annotation, survival…
After the objective is clear, ask for input files in English. Request data paths, file types, sample metadata, grouping variables, and any…

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 6f98a63. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are markdown).
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Compatibility
opencode
From compatibility in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

Context cost

Biomaster loads about 2.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 32 tokens; SKILL.md has 951 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~32
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~2.1k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 951 words (~2,072 tokens).

“BioMaster is a conversational bioinformatics assistant. It can answer general questions, explain methods, discuss BioSkills knowledge, help maintain workflow or execution knowledge entries, and start structured analyses when the user is ready to execute a task.”

Questions about Biomaster

What does Biomaster do?

BioMaster conversational bioinformatics assistant; starts workflows only after execution intent or empty activation. Biomaster is an agent skill from ai4nucleome/BioMaster. BioMaster conversational bioinformatics assistant; starts workflows only after execution intent or empty activation.

When should I use Biomaster?

Biomaster fits situations like: tasks that involve Bioinformatics.

How do I install Biomaster in Claude Code?

Run `npx skills add ai4nucleome/BioMaster --skill biomaster -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (.opencode/skills/biomaster in ai4nucleome/BioMaster) into .claude/skills/biomaster in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.

How do I install Biomaster in Codex?

Run `npx skills add ai4nucleome/BioMaster --skill biomaster -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (.opencode/skills/biomaster in ai4nucleome/BioMaster) into .agents/skills/biomaster in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.

Can I use Biomaster in Cursor, Gemini CLI or GitHub Copilot?

Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add ai4nucleome/BioMaster --skill biomaster -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/biomaster, .gemini/skills/biomaster, .github/skills/biomaster and .opencode/skills/biomaster in your project.

What does Biomaster need to run?

SKILL.md names no scripts, command-line tools or credentials: Biomaster is instructions for the agent only. Our summary lists: Python 3. Compatibility (from SKILL.md): opencode.

Does Biomaster access the network?

SKILL.md contains no URLs. Any network use would come from the scripts or tools the agent runs. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.

Is Biomaster safe to install?

Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. Review the folder before installing.

What licence does Biomaster use?

No licence was found for Biomaster or its repository. Without one, default copyright applies: ask the author before reusing or redistributing it.

How many tokens does Biomaster use?

About 2.1k tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 8.3k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full.

What are the alternatives to Biomaster?

Skills that share tags, products or a category with Biomaster: Bio Read Sequences (FreedomIntelligence/OpenClaw-Medical-Skills, 3.1k stars), Bioconductor Drugtargetinteractions (bioMate-AI/biomate-bioconductor-kb, 804 stars), Bio Genome Intervals Gtf Gff Handling (GPTomics/bioSkills, 1.2k stars) and Alphagenome Single Variant Analysis (google-deepmind/science-skills, 3.2k stars). The comparison table on this page puts their stars, adoption, token cost, safety result and licence side by side.

Who maintains Biomaster?

ai4nucleome (a GitHub organization) maintains it in ai4nucleome/BioMaster, which has 115 GitHub stars. The repository was last updated on July 14, 2026.
