What it does
Bioconductor Rblast is an agent skill from bioMate-AI/biomate-bioconductor-kb. Seamlessly interfaces the Basic Local Alignment Search Tool (BLAST) to search genetic sequence data bases. This work was partially supported by grant no. R21HG005912 from the National Human Genome Research Institute.
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 Research & Science, covering Bioinformatics. It works with NCBI. 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 Bioinformatics
Example prompts
- “/bioconductor-rblast”
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 Rblast loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 59 tokens; SKILL.md has 419 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.
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 419 words (~1,223 tokens).
“Create a custom BLAST database from user-provided sequences and query it locally.”
