What it does

Vdjdb Extract is an agent skill from antigenomics/vdjdb-db. Extract TCR:pMHC specificity records from raw submission sources - supplementary XLS/CSV tables, PDF manuscripts, 10x Genomics contig and clonotype files, AIRR Rearrangement TSVs, Adaptive ImmunoSEQ exports - into a VDJdb chunk TSV, verifying every extracted sequence, gene, allele and reference id back against the source. Use when a paper, dataset or submitter folder has to become a chunk file, before vdjdb-format and vdjdb-proofread.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.2k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Documents & Office, covering CSV and tabular files, Bioinformatics and Copy editing and proofreading. The repository describes itself as: Git-based antigen specificity database storage & management.

When your agent uses it

  • Submitter folder has to become a chunk file
  • Before vdjdb-format and vdjdb-proofread

Example prompts

  • “/vdjdb-extract”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 5dfc25f. 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.

    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.

Context cost

Vdjdb Extract loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 113 tokens; SKILL.md has 592 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~113
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.2k

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

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 592 words (~1,232 tokens).

“Read AUTHORITIES.md and the chunk specification. Respect the requested source and technology scope. A reference already present in VDJdb does not establish complete coverage.”
