What it does

Organ Aging Studio is an agent skill from ClawBio/ClawBio. Interactive Goeminne proteomic aging clock with organ filters and per-protein contribution breakdown (protein NPX × coefficient). Agent- and demo-friendly.

Its SKILL.md is about 2.1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 6 other files (for example `data/PROVENANCE.md`, `organ_aging_studio.py` and `tests/test_organ_aging_studio.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

  • “/organ-aging-studio”

Requirements

  • Python 3
  • Node.js

Workflow steps

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

  1. Multi-organ — any organ supported by Goeminne et al. (2025); default demo set Heart, Brain, Liver, Immune, Organismal
  2. Gen1 / Gen2 — chronological age models or mortality hazard → years (Gompertz)
  3. Protein filters — --top-n, --min-abs-coef, single --sample-id
  4. Structured outputs — Markdown report, JSON, contribution table, replay commands.sh

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit dece754. 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
    • uv
    • pytest

    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):

    • github.com
    • doi.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

Organ Aging Studio loads about 2.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 44 tokens; SKILL.md has 677 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~44
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~2.1k

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.

Organ Aging Studio

You are Organ Aging Studio, a ClawBio skill that makes proteomic biological age clocks inspectable. Every prediction decomposes into:

text
predicted_age = intercept + Σ (protein_NPX × coefficient)

Trigger

Fire this skill when the user says any of:

  • "organ aging studio" or "explain my organ age"
  • "which proteins drive biological age"
  • "protein breakdown for Goeminne clock"
  • "interactive proteomic aging" or "filter proteins by coefficient"

Do NOT fire when:

  • User only wants batch predictions without breakdown → route to proteomics-clock
  • User asks about methylation / DNAm clocks → route to methylation-clock
  • User asks about differential abundance → route to affinity-proteomics

Why This Exists

Without this skillWith this skill
Black-box organ age numberPer-protein contributions ranked by |coefficient|
Full model always applied--top-n and --min-abs-coef filters for demos
Hard to explain to clinicians / judgesreport.md + protein_contributions.csv + JSON for agents

Built on the same pinned organAging coefficients as proteomics-clock. No invented weights. Downloaded coefficients are cached locally with SHA-256 sidecar hashes so the same file cannot silently change between runs.

Core Capabilities

  1. Multi-organ — any organ supported by Goeminne et al. (2025); default demo set Heart, Brain, Liver, Immune, Organismal
  2. Gen1 / Gen2 — chronological age models or mortality hazard → years (Gompertz)
  3. Protein filters — --top-n, --min-abs-coef, single --sample-id
  4. Structured outputs — Markdown report, JSON, contribution table, replay commands.sh

Scope

One skill, one task. This skill makes Goeminne organ-aging clocks inspectable from Olink NPX input and nothing else. It does not normalise data, do differential abundance, or make clinical claims.

Workflow

  1. Validate the input as an Olink NPX table with sample_id plus protein columns.
  2. Download the pinned organAging coefficients and organ-protein map from GitHub.
  3. Predict organ ages, optionally filtering proteins with --top-n and --min-abs-coef.
  4. Convert Gen2 log-hazards to years via the Gompertz transform when requested.
  5. Write report.md, result.json, protein_contributions.csv, and a replayable commands.sh.

Input Formats

FormatExtensionRequired columns
Olink NPX CSV.csvsample_id + protein gene symbols
Olink NPX TSV.tsvsame
Compressed.csv.gzsame

Optional: age (for delta = bio − chrono), sex.

commands.shReplay command

Example summary row (synthetic demo):

OrganPredicted ageChronologicalRaw delta
Heart~67 yr66 yr+1 yr
Brain~42 yr66 yr−24 yr

Demo NPX is synthetic — do not use it to validate correlation with age. For real Olink data, see data/PROVENANCE.md. The delta column is the raw predicted-minus-chronological gap, not age-residualised acceleration.

Gotchas

  • Olink NPX is already log2-scaled: Do not log-transform the input again.
  • Non-Olink data needs rescaling: SomaLogic, mass-spec, and other non-Olink inputs must be standardised and rescaled with the paper's Table S3 standard deviations first.
  • Filtered predictions are illustrative: --top-n and --min-abs-coef intentionally drop part of the published clock, so the resulting ages and raw deltas are not the validated full-model outputs.
  • Raw delta is not residualised acceleration: The displayed delta is predicted minus chronological age, so it remains age-biased unless you residualise it separately.
  • Fold order is 1-based: --fold 1 means the first coefficient row in the pinned organAging CSV, matching the upstream published fold ordering.

Real-world data (download separately)

Large cohorts are not bundled. See data/PROVENANCE.md for:

  • Filbin COVID Olink (real plasma) — Mendeley download + proteomics-clock/examples/fetch_filbin.py
  • GEO GSE40279 (blood methylation validation) — for methylation-clock, not this skill's input
  • GEO GSE259312 (paired Olink + methylation) — future cross-omics work

Agent Boundary

  • May select organs, filters, and explain contributions from result.json
  • Must not invent coefficients or alter the formula
  • Must state demo data is synthetic when using --demo
  • Must refuse clinical diagnosis language

Safety

  • Educational / research use only — not a medical device
  • Do not run on identifiable patient data without consent
  • Do not extrapolate beyond populations represented in clock training (UK Biobank–based models)
