Fetch reusable public population allele frequencies from gnomAD for a specific variant.

  • The user asks about allele frequency
  • SKILL.md covers Activation, When to use this skill, Boundaries and Cross-Capability Synthesis, plus 1 more section
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md
  • Population stratification

What it does

Genomi Gnomad is an agent skill from exon-research/genomi. Fetch reusable public population allele frequencies from gnomAD for a specific variant. Use when the user asks about allele frequency, MAF, population stratification, gnomAD numbers, or rarity of a specific allele.

Its SKILL.md is about 640 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. The repository describes itself as: Local-first, open-source Claude Science alternative, before Claude Science is a thing. Turn your AI agent into personal DNA expert. The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • The user asks about allele frequency
  • Population stratification
  • Rarity of a specific allele

Example prompts

  • “/genomi-gnomad”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 1df4f5b. 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.

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    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

Genomi Gnomad loads about 638 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 57 tokens; SKILL.md has 274 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~57
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~638

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.

Population Frequency (gnomAD)

Fetch public gnomAD population allele frequencies for one variant. Results are cached locally in the evidence database so subsequent queries reuse them.

Activation

To call the tool below, invoke it through the MCP dispatcher:

genomi.invoke({
  "tool": "gnomad.fetch_population_frequency",
  "params": {
    "chrom": "19",
    "pos": 44908684,
    "ref": "T",
    "alt": "C",
    "genome_build": "GRCh38"
  }
})

The dispatcher validates the params against the underlying tool's input schema and returns the underlying tool's response with an added dispatched_tool field.

When to use this skill

  • "What is the gnomAD frequency of rs429358?"
  • "Is this variant rare in gnomAD?"
  • "Allele frequency in African populations for rs1042522."
  • Any question that needs MAF, AF, population-stratified counts.

Boundaries

  • Variant-anchored only — query one allele at a time.
  • Public population data only — does not read the user's Active Genome Index.
  • Cached after first fetch — subsequent queries for the same variant reuse the local evidence store.

Cross-Capability Synthesis

A scope-limited result from this capability is not a final user-facing answer when other Genomi capabilities can contribute orthogonal evidence to the same question. Returning "cannot answer" while applicable capabilities remain unexamined is a host-agent failure mode.

Tools

gnomad.fetch_population_frequency

Fetch reusable gnomAD public population frequency for one allele and write it into evidence storage.

Use when: The agent needs gnomAD allele frequency, MAF, or population-stratified counts for a specific variant (rsID, chrom/pos/ref/alt, or VCF locus).

Why necessary: gnomAD is the canonical public population frequency source; cached results keep subsequent calls cheap.

Not for: Genome-wide rare-variant screening, ad-hoc curated annotations, anything not anchored to a specific variant.

Example prompts: What's the gnomAD frequency of rs429358? Is rs1042522 rare in East Asian populations?

Result semantics: Returns the gnomAD record with population-stratified counts and frequencies plus a populations block; writes to the local evidence database for reuse.
