What it does

Proteomics Structural is an agent skill from TianGzlab/OmicsClaw. Load when summarising cross-linking MS (XL-MS) results — intra/inter-protein link split, optional FDR filtering, distance-constraint validation against a per-crosslinker (DSS / BS3 / EDC / DSSO / DSBU) max distance. Skip when raw spectra are the input (run XlinkX / pLink / xiSEARCH first); no XL-MS experiment was performed.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.3k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 6 other files, including reference files (for example `references/methodology.md`, `references/output_contract.md` and `references/parameters.md`).

It sits in Research & Science, covering Bioinformatics. The repository describes itself as: Conversational & memory-enabled AI research partner for multi-omics analysis. CLI + Desktop App (installers in Releases). From biological idea to full research paper. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Bioinformatics

Example prompts

  • “/proteomics-structural”

Requirements

  • Python 3

Workflow steps

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

  1. Load CSV (--input ) or generate a demo at output_dir/demo_crosslinks.csv (struct_proteomics.py:102).
  2. If fdr column present, filter to df[df["fdr"] <= --fdr] (struct_proteomics.py:126); otherwise pass-through (:130).
  3. Derive link_type from protein_a == protein_b comparison when both columns are present (struct_proteomics.py:134-141); otherwise count all…
  4. If distance_angstrom column present, compute satisfaction rate vs CROSSLINKER_CONSTRAINTS[--crosslinker] (struct_proteomics.py:147-167)…
  5. Write tables/crosslinks.csv (struct_proteomics.py:282) + tables/inter_protein_crosslinks.csv (only if non-empty, :287) + report.md +…

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 6fbd79f. 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

    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

Proteomics Structural loads about 1.3k tokens when it runs, and up to ~1.8k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 87 tokens; SKILL.md has 398 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
~1.3k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~1.8k

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.

proteomics-structural

When to use

The user has a cross-linking MS (XL-MS) results CSV (from XlinkX, pLink, xiSEARCH, etc.) and wants a summary: intra- vs inter-protein classification, optional FDR filtering, and distance-constraint validation against the per-crosslinker max distance (Rappsilber (2011) Cα-Cα bounds).

--crosslinker {DSS,BS3,EDC,DSSO,DSBU} (default DSS) sets the max-distance threshold (CROSSLINKER_CONSTRAINTS at struct_proteomics.py:43-49: DSS/BS3/DSSO/DSBU = 30 Å, EDC = 20 Å). --fdr (default 0.05) filters by the fdr column when present.

This skill does NOT run an XL-MS search engine — feed it the already-searched results.

Inputs & Outputs

<!-- AUTO-GENERATED from skill.yaml (interface) — do not edit by hand. Regenerate: python scripts/generate_skill_md.py <skill_dir> -->

Inputs

  • File types: .csv

Outputs

  • tables/crosslinks.csv
  • tables/inter_protein_crosslinks.csv
  • report.md
  • result.json

Flow

  1. Load CSV (--input <crosslinks.csv>) or generate a demo at output_dir/demo_crosslinks.csv (struct_proteomics.py:102).
  2. If fdr column present, filter to df[df["fdr"] <= --fdr] (struct_proteomics.py:126); otherwise pass-through (:130).
  3. Derive link_type from protein_a == protein_b comparison when both columns are present (struct_proteomics.py:134-141); otherwise count all rows as intra (:142-145).
  4. If distance_angstrom column present, compute satisfaction rate vs CROSSLINKER_CONSTRAINTS[--crosslinker] (struct_proteomics.py:147-167); add per-row constraint_satisfied boolean column.
  5. Write tables/crosslinks.csv (struct_proteomics.py:282) + tables/inter_protein_crosslinks.csv (only if non-empty, :287) + report.md + result.json (:290).

Gotchas

  • Required input columns are protein_a and protein_b (lowercase, with underscore-letter — NOT protein1 / protein2). struct_proteomics.py:134 checks {"protein_a", "protein_b"}.issubset(df_filtered.columns). Without both, ALL rows silently classify as intra-protein (:142-145) — n_inter = 0 even on a real inter-protein dataset. XlinkX exports use Protein A / Protein B; rename first.
  • --crosslinker drives the distance-constraint check, NOT just metadata. struct_proteomics.py:148 sets max_distance = CROSSLINKER_CONSTRAINTS.get(crosslinker.upper(), 30.0) — the active threshold for constraint_satisfied column + constraint_satisfaction_rate summary. Choices: DSS / BS3 / DSSO / DSBU = 30 Å, EDC = 20 Å (Rappsilber 2011 Cα-Cα bounds).
  • Distance check is OPT-IN by distance_angstrom column presence. Without that column, constraint_satisfaction_rate defaults to 100% (struct_proteomics.py:170) — the constraint feature is silently skipped, not failed. Pass distance_angstrom (Cα-Cα predicted distance from a 3D model) for a real check.
  • fdr filter is OPT-IN by column presence. struct_proteomics.py:126 only filters when fdr exists — without that column, EVERY input row is kept regardless of --fdr. Pre-add an fdr column (or a placeholder of zeros) if you need the filter to bite.
  • --input REQUIRED unless --demo. struct_proteomics.py:270 raises ValueError("--input required when not using --demo").
  • tables/inter_protein_crosslinks.csv only appears when there ARE inter-protein links. A purely-intra dataset writes only tables/crosslinks.csv. Downstream consumers should check file existence.
