What it does

Vdjdb Publish is an agent skill from antigenomics/vdjdb-db. Publish proofread VDJdb chunks through dev, reconcile publication issues, preserve record identity, keep validation changes separate, and close completed imports while tracking unresolved observations and optional metadata follow-ups. Use when a chunk is ready to publish or an imported paper needs closeout.

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

When your agent uses it

  • A chunk is ready to publish
  • An imported paper needs closeout

Example prompts

  • “/vdjdb-publish”

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Reconcile the submission
  2. Check readiness
  3. Commit data separately
  4. Validate the combined candidate
  5. Merge and close out

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit aba357e. 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

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • uv
    • git

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use uv and git, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.

    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 Publish loads about 2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 81 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,025 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~81
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~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 1,025 words (~2,011 tokens).

“Read AUTHORITIES.md and the submission guide. Use existing batch authorization throughout; ask only for a new decision outside that scope.”
