What it does
Lobster Bioinformatics is an agent skill from FreedomIntelligence/OpenClaw-Medical-Skills. Run bioinformatics analyses using Lobster AI - single-cell RNA-seq, bulk RNA-seq, literature mining, dataset discovery, quality control, and visualization. Use when analyzing genomics data, searching for papers/datasets, or working with H5AD, CSV, GEO/SRA accessions, or biological data. Requires lobster-ai package installed.
Its SKILL.md is about 2.5k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files (for example `README.md` and `install.sh`).
It sits in Research & Science, covering Bioinformatics. It works with Ollama and NCBI. The repository describes itself as: The largest open-source medical AI skills library for OpenClaw🦞.
When your agent uses it
- Analyzing genomics data
- Searching for papers/datasets
- Working with H5AD
- GEO/SRA accessions
Example prompts
- “/lobster-bioinformatics”
Requirements
- Python 3
- A Bash shell
- A credential in NCBI_API_KEY
Workflow steps
5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Be specific: Instead of "analyze data", say "perform single-cell clustering with resolution 0.5"
- Chain operations: "Download GSE12345, run QC, cluster, and export markers to CSV"
- Check outputs: Always verify generated files in .lobster_workspace/
- Use reasoning mode: For complex multi-step tasks, add --reasoning flag
- Provide context: Reference specific files, datasets, or previous results
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit b1f9b6e. 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 (Shell), which the agent can run.
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
ollamauv
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
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:
NCBI_API_KEY
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Lobster Bioinformatics loads about 2.5k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 87 tokens; SKILL.md has 586 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: notes
The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.
- NoteMentions a .env fileSKILL.md:49
"env_file": "/path/to/.env", - NoteMentions a .env fileSKILL.md:78
k API error | Check API key validity in `.env` | - NoteMentions a .env fileSKILL.md:79
not configured | Add `NCBI_API_KEY` to `.env` (optional) |
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
Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 586 words (~2,472 tokens).
“Lobster AI is a bioinformatics platform that combines specialized AI agents with open-source tools to analyze multi-omics data through natural language.”
