What it does

Gnomad Database is an agent skill from jaechang-hits/SciAgent-Skills. gnomAD v4 population variant frequencies via GraphQL API. Allele counts and frequencies stratified by ancestry (AFR, AMR, EAS, NFE, SAS, FIN, ASJ, MID), gene-level constraint (pLI, LOEUF, missense z), and coverage. Identify rare or constrained variants. For clinical pathogenicity use clinvar-database; for GWAS use gwas-database.

Its SKILL.md is about 7.2k 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, covering Bioinformatics and GraphQL. It works with GraphQL. The repository describes itself as: 197 bioinformatics & life science skills for Claude Code and AI agents — BixBench 92.0% accuracy. RNA-seq, single-cell, drug discovery, proteomics, and more. Powers OmicsHorizon.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Bioinformatics
  • Tasks that involve GraphQL

Example prompts

  • “/gnomad-database”

Requirements

  • Python 3

Workflow steps

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

  1. Use gnomad_r4 for GRCh38 analyses: gnomAD v4 is the most current dataset with 730K+ individuals. Use gnomad_r2_1 only when comparing to…
  2. Use faf95.popmax for clinical filtering, not overall AF: The filtering allele frequency accounts for maximum population stratification and…
  3. Add time.sleep(0.5) in batch loops: gnomAD has no published rate limits but the API is shared infrastructure. Polite delays prevent…
  4. Filter lof == "HC" for LoF burden analyses: Low-confidence LoF ("LC") annotations are often in repetitive regions or may be sequencing…
  5. Check AN before interpreting AF: Low allele number (AN) means poor coverage in that population. A zero or near-zero AF may reflect absent…

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 82c862c. 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

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • pip

    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:

    • gnomad.broadinstitute.org

    Also links to:

    • 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

Gnomad Database loads about 7.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 87 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,175 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~87
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~7.2k

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.

SKILL.md

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 1,175 words (~7,153 tokens).

“The Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD) is a resource of aggregated exome and genome sequencing data from 730,000+ individuals. It provides population variant frequencies stratified by 9 ancestry groups, gene-level constraint scores (pLI, LOEUF), and read coverage information. Access is free…”
