What it does

Gi Enhancer is an agent skill from ClawBio/ClawBio. Predict enhancer activity in DNA sequences using the Genomic Intelligence G0 DeepSTARR model, via the hosted /v1/tasks/enhancer/predict API. Returns per-window activity scores.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.8k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 7 other files (for example `api.py`, `gi_enhancer.py` and `tests/__init__.py`).

It sits in Research & Science, covering Bioinformatics. The repository describes itself as: 🦖 ClawBio - The first bioinformatics-native AI agent skill library. Local-first. Reproducible. Open. Free. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Bioinformatics

Example prompts

  • “/gi-enhancer”

Requirements

  • Python 3
  • A credential in GI_API_KEY

Workflow steps

3 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Parse: single-record FASTA.
  2. POST to /v1/tasks/enhancer/predict; the API windows internally.
  3. Render: report.md + result.json + reproducibility/.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 5e045e3. 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

    Ships script files (Python), which the agent can run.

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • python

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

  • Network

    Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:

    • api.genomicintelligence.ai

    Also links to:

    • genomicintelligence.ai

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:

    • GI_API_KEY

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Gi Enhancer loads about 1.8k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 47 tokens; SKILL.md has 615 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~47
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.8k

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.

Auto-check: notes

The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.

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.

🎚️ gi-enhancer

You are gi-enhancer, a ClawBio agent that calls the Genomic Intelligence enhancer-activity model. Given a sequence, it returns per-window activity predictions, in ~1 s via the hosted API.

⚠️ Remote inference — opt-in required. Unlike most ClawBio skills, this skill uploads your FASTA sequence to the hosted Genomic Intelligence API at https://api.genomicintelligence.ai. The same models also run interactively at https://genomicintelligence.ai. Do not submit identifiable patient data without an appropriate data-use agreement. Key setup: see Authentication below.

Trigger

Fire this skill when the user says any of:

  • "predict enhancer activity"
  • "score this for enhancer / CRE / regulatory function"
  • "is this an enhancer?"
  • "DeepSTARR prediction", "STARR-seq prediction"
  • "gi-enhancer"
  • "predict cis-regulatory activity"

Do NOT fire when:

  • The user asks for promoter activity → gi-promoter
  • The user asks for chromatin state / accessibility → gi-chromatin

Why This Exists

  • Without it: DeepSTARR-style local inference requires Keras + GPU + tokenization knowhow.
  • With it: One CLI call → per-window activity scores in ~1 s.
  • Why ClawBio: Hosted G0 DeepSTARR plus ClawBio reproducibility + orchestrator routing.

API Backed

POST https://api.genomicintelligence.ai/v1/tasks/enhancer/predict. Omit model and the API resolves the default — a DeepSTARR model trained on Drosophila S2 cells. GET /v1/tasks/enhancer/models is the current list.

Contract note. The Genomic Intelligence API publishes one operation per task, each with its own request schema: per-task minLength/maxLength on sequence, and a typed, closed options object (an unknown option key is a 422 validation_failed, not a silent ignore). The bounds quoted in this file are the published ones, but the authority is always the served schema: GET https://api.genomicintelligence.ai/v1/openapi.json.

Workflow

  1. Parse: single-record FASTA.
  2. POST to /v1/tasks/enhancer/predict; the API windows internally.
  3. Render: report.md + result.json + reproducibility/.

CLI Reference

bash
python skills/gi-enhancer/gi_enhancer.py --demo --output /tmp/gi-enhancer-demo
python skills/gi-enhancer/gi_enhancer.py --input my_region.fa --output report_dir
python clawbio.py run gi-enhancer --demo

Authentication

The skill requires a Genomic Intelligence partner key in GI_API_KEY. Resolution order:

  1. --api-key <value> CLI flag (explicit override).
  2. GI_API_KEY environment variable.
  3. Otherwise: the skill raises a RuntimeError pointing here.
Quick start — ClawBio hackathon key

A shared hackathon-tier key ships in .env.example at the repo root (opt-in only). Caps are per-key and are not published as a fixed number — read RateLimit-Limit / RateLimit-Remaining on any /v1/tasks/ response for the live allowance. The runner keeps them for you: they are in result.json under rate_limit, and a 429 names them on the error line. From wherever the ClawBio files live on your machine:

bash
# Repo root (git clone) — or ~/.claude/plugins/cache/clawbio/clawbio/<version>/ for plugin installs
cp .env.example .env
set -a && source .env && set +a
Show full SKILL.md (247 more words)Show less
Production / heavier use

Request an individual key at contact@genomicintelligence.ai, then:

bash
export GI_API_KEY=gi_yourkeyhere

Demo

bash
python clawbio.py run gi-enhancer --demo

Bundled fixture is the Drosophila eve (even-skipped) locus (chr2R:9972000-9982000, incl. the upstream stripe enhancers) — the canonical DeepSTARR benchmark for developmental enhancer activity. Expect a positive developmental signal; read the score from your own run.

Gotchas

  • DeepSTARR was trained on Drosophila S2 cells. Activity scores for mammalian sequences are still informative as a relative ranking, but the absolute scale is calibrated for fly chromatin.
  • Length bounds are 50–500,000 bp, published as minLength / maxLength on EnhancerPredictRequest and counted after whitespace is stripped. Both ends are a 422 validation_failed (over-max is not a 413 — 413 is the separate 16 MiB raw-body cap). The skill rejects either locally before spending a request.
  • 50 bp is admission control, not a meaningful enhancer size. It is the strictest floor any enhancer model needs; some models accept less. The models' context window is 249 bp, so 50–248 bp is accepted and scored — against a window padded out to 249 bp. Compare your length against bio_spec.context_window_bp (GET /v1/tasks/enhancer/models) to know whether the model saw real sequence; the skill warns when you are under it.
  • Pre-windowing is unnecessary — the API windows and strides internally.
  • Hackathon key is shared — GI_API_KEY for heavier use.
