flow-bioFlow.bio API bridge — authenticate, browse pipelines/samples/projects, search, upload data, launch pipeline executions, and check run status on any Flow instance.
Flow Bio is an agent skill from ClawBio/ClawBio. Flow.bio API bridge — authenticate, browse pipelines/samples/projects, search, upload data, launch pipeline executions, and check run status on any Flow instance.
Its SKILL.md is about 2.3k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 6 other files (for example `data/demo_cache.json`, `flow_bio.py` and `tests/__init__.py`).
It sits in Research & Science. The repository describes itself as: 🦖 ClawBio - The first bioinformatics-native AI agent skill library. Local-first. Reproducible. Open. Free. The licence is MIT.
9 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 5e045e3. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
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.
Ships script files (Python), which the agent can run.
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
pythonFrom the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):
flow.bionextflow.ioFrom URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Flow Bio loads about 2.3k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 43 tokens; SKILL.md has 641 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.
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.

Flow.bio is a bioinformatics platform hosting curated Nextflow pipelines with managed compute, sample tracking, and collaborative project management. But interacting with Flow requires navigating the web UI or writing custom API scripts.
Flow Bio Bridge makes the platform agent-accessible: authenticate once, then list pipelines, upload samples, launch executions, and poll for results — all from the CLI or via the ClawBio orchestrator.

Flow Bio fits situations like: research & Science work in your project.
Run `npx skills add ClawBio/ClawBio --skill flow-bio -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (skills/flow-bio in ClawBio/ClawBio) into .claude/skills/flow-bio in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.
Run `npx skills add ClawBio/ClawBio --skill flow-bio -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (skills/flow-bio in ClawBio/ClawBio) into .agents/skills/flow-bio in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.
Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add ClawBio/ClawBio --skill flow-bio -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/flow-bio, .gemini/skills/flow-bio, .github/skills/flow-bio and .opencode/skills/flow-bio in your project.
Going by SKILL.md and its folder, Flow Bio needs Python for the scripts in its folder and the command-line tools its instructions call (python). Our summary lists: Python 3; A credential in FLOW_TOKEN.
SKILL.md names 2 domains. As links in the text: flow.bio and nextflow.io. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.
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.
Flow Bio is published under the MIT licence (declared in SKILL.md). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.
About 2.3k tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 9.3k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full.
Skills that share tags, products or a category with Flow Bio: Hypothesis Generation (spacering-net/codeg, 3.8k stars), GitHub Deep Research (bytedance/deer-flow, 83k stars), Nature Paper Card (Yuan1z0825/nature-skills, 46k stars) and Read arXiv Paper (karpathy/nanochat, 58k stars). The comparison table on this page puts their stars, adoption, token cost, safety result and licence side by side.
