What it does

Variant Functional Prediction is an agent skill from InternScience/scp. Query FAVOR API for variant functional prediction scores (CADD, SIFT, PolyPhen, REVEL, etc.) and gene annotation.

Its SKILL.md is about 420 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

The licence is MIT.

Example prompts

  • “/variant-functional-prediction”

Requirements

  • Python 3

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit cea5398. 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 (its code samples are tex and 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.genohub.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

Variant Functional Prediction loads about 422 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 36 tokens; SKILL.md has 8 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~36
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~422

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.

FAVOR Functional Prediction

Usage

Tool Description
tex
Query FAVOR (GenoHub) API to get variant functional prediction scores.
API: GET https://api.genohub.org/v1/rsids/{rs_id}
Note: Returns a JSON list; use first element.
Args:
    rs_id (str): dbSNP rsID (e.g. "rs7412")
Return:
    Gene name, exonic category, functional prediction scores
    (CADD, SIFT, PolyPhen2, MutationTaster, GERP, etc.)
Query Example
python
import requests

rs_id = "rs7412"
url = f"https://api.genohub.org/v1/rsids/{rs_id}"
resp = requests.get(url, timeout=30).json()
d = resp[0] if isinstance(resp, list) else resp

print(f"[FAVOR] variant: {d.get('variant_vcf')}")
print(f"[FAVOR] 基因: {d.get('genecode_comprehensive_info')}")
print(f"[FAVOR] 区域: {d.get('genecode_comprehensive_category')}")
print(f"[FAVOR] 外显子变异类别: {d.get('genecode_comprehensive_exonic_category')}")
print(f"[FAVOR] CADD phred: {d.get('cadd_phred')} (>20=有害)")
print(f"[FAVOR] SIFT: {d.get('sift_cat')} (val={d.get('sift_val')})")
print(f"[FAVOR] PolyPhen2 HDIV: {d.get('polyphen2_hdiv_score')}")
print(f"[FAVOR] PolyPhen2 HVAR: {d.get('polyphen2_hvar_score')}")
print(f"[FAVOR] MutationTaster: {d.get('mutation_taster_score')}")
print(f"[FAVOR] MutationAssessor: {d.get('mutation_assessor_score')}")
print(f"[FAVOR] MetaSVM pred: {d.get('metasvm_pred')}")
print(f"[FAVOR] GERP_N: {d.get('gerp_n')}, GERP_S: {d.get('gerp_s')}")
print(f"[FAVOR] BRAVO AF: {d.get('bravo_af')}")
