What it does

Vdjdb Harmonize is an agent skill from antigenomics/vdjdb-db. Canonicalise antigen.gene and antigen.species in a VDJdb chunk against the epitope dictionary and the gene and species alias tables, detect spurious values (UniProt descriptions, "[species]" annotations, "Probable"/"Chain A," prefixes, multi-word organism names), resolve blanks from the publication, flag one epitope that is a substring of another, and extend the alias tables where they have no entry. Use when antigen.gene or antigen.species carry free text rather than symbols, or when vdjdb-proofread reports…

Its SKILL.md is about 720 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 Writing & Content, covering Copy editing and proofreading. It works with UniProt. The repository describes itself as: Git-based antigen specificity database storage & management.

When your agent uses it

  • Antigen.species carry free text rather than symbols
  • Vdjdb-proofread reports antigen fields that disagree across a chunk

Example prompts

  • “[species]”
  • “Probable”
  • “Chain A,”
  • “/vdjdb-harmonize”

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 Harmonize loads about 715 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 144 tokens; SKILL.md has 283 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~144
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~715

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 283 words (~715 tokens).

“Read AUTHORITIES.md and terminology. antigen.gene and antigen.species describe peptide provenance. Recognition is assigned to the peptide-MHC complex.”

What does Vdjdb Harmonize need to run?

SKILL.md names no scripts, command-line tools or credentials: Vdjdb Harmonize is instructions for the agent only.

Does Vdjdb Harmonize 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 Vdjdb Harmonize 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 Vdjdb Harmonize use?
