Biopython Advanced is an agent skill from aipoch/medical-research-skills. Advanced Biopython modules for motifs, population genetics, sequence utilities, restriction analysis, clustering, and GenomeDiagram visualization; use when you need extended bioinformatics analysis beyond basic sequence I/O and alignment.
Its SKILL.md is about 1.6k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 5 other files, including reference files (for example `biopython-advanced_audit_result_v1.json`, `config/task_config.json` and `references/advanced.md`).
It sits in Research & Science, covering Bioinformatics. It works with Biopython. The repository describes itself as: Hundreds of agent skills for medical research, including protocol design, data analysis, evidence insights, and academic writing. The licence is MIT.
3 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 686e09d. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
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.
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
pythonFrom the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Biopython Advanced loads about 1.6k tokens when it runs, and up to ~5.3k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 64 tokens; SKILL.md has 387 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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.
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.

Advanced Biopython modules for motifs, population genetics, sequence utilities, restriction analysis, clustering, and GenomeDiagram visualization; use when you need extended bioinformatics analysis…. Biopython Advanced is an agent skill from aipoch/medical-research-skills. Advanced Biopython modules for motifs, population genetics, sequence utilities, restriction analysis, clustering, and GenomeDiagram visualization; use when you need extended bioinformatics analysis beyond basic sequence I/O and alignment.
Biopython Advanced fits situations like: you need extended bioinformatics analysis beyond basic sequence I/O and alignment; tasks that involve Bioinformatics.
Run `npx skills add aipoch/medical-research-skills --skill biopython-advanced -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (scientific-skills/Data Analysis/biopython-advanced in aipoch/medical-research-skills) into .claude/skills/biopython-advanced in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.
Run `npx skills add aipoch/medical-research-skills --skill biopython-advanced -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (scientific-skills/Data Analysis/biopython-advanced in aipoch/medical-research-skills) into .agents/skills/biopython-advanced in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.
Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add aipoch/medical-research-skills --skill biopython-advanced -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/biopython-advanced, .gemini/skills/biopython-advanced, .github/skills/biopython-advanced and .opencode/skills/biopython-advanced in your project.
Going by SKILL.md and its folder, Biopython Advanced needs the command-line tools its instructions call (python). Our summary lists: Python 3.
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.
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.
Biopython Advanced is published under the MIT licence (declared in SKILL.md). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.
About 1.6k tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 6.6k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full. Its references folder adds about 3.7k tokens, read only when the agent opens those files.
Skills that share tags, products or a category with Biopython Advanced: Bio Alignment Io (GPTomics/bioSkills, 1.2k stars), Biopython Bioinformatics (aiming-lab/AutoResearchClaw, 15k stars), Bio Write Sequences (GPTomics/bioSkills, 1.2k stars) and Biopython (davila7/claude-code-templates, 32k stars). The comparison table on this page puts their stars, adoption, token cost, safety result and licence side by side.
