Mass spectrometry (MS) data backend supporting import and export of MS/MS library spectra from MassBank record files.

  • Tasks that involve SQL
  • SKILL.md covers Workflows, When to Use, When NOT to Use and Data Requirements, plus 6 more sections
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md
  • Tasks that involve Bioinformatics

What it does

Bioconductor Msbackendmassbank is an agent skill from bioMate-AI/biomate-bioconductor-kb. Mass spectrometry (MS) data backend supporting import and export of MS/MS library spectra from MassBank record files. Different backends are available that allow handling of data in plain MassBank text file format or allow also to interact directly with MassBank SQL databases. Objects from this package are supposed to be used with the Spectra Bioconductor package. This package thus adds MassBank support to the Spectra package.

Its SKILL.md is about 1k 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 Databases, covering SQL and Bioinformatics. It works with SQL. The repository describes itself as: BioMate-KB Bioconductor Skills — 200 packages (top 100 by downloads + 100 rising stars) as vignette-grounded Claude/agent skills, with per-package workflow recipes.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve SQL
  • Tasks that involve Bioinformatics

Example prompts

  • “/bioconductor-msbackendmassbank”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit c9bd4d8. 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 r).

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

  • Network

    Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):

    • bioconductor.org

    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

Bioconductor Msbackendmassbank loads about 1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 115 tokens; SKILL.md has 392 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~115
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~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

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 392 words (~1,034 tokens).
