trackplotGenerate sashimi-style genome visualization plots (coverage, line, heatmap, IGV read-by-read, HiC, circRNA, motif) from BAM/bigWig/depth/HiC inputs.
Trackplot is an agent skill from ygidtu/trackplot. Generate sashimi-style genome visualization plots (coverage, line, heatmap, IGV read-by-read, HiC, circRNA, motif) from BAM/bigWig/depth/HiC inputs. Use when the user wants to plot NGS data over a genomic region, make sashimi or intron-shrinkage plots, strand density, single-cell barcode-split density, protein domain tracks, or publish-ready PDF/PNG/SVG figures for a locus. Covers CLI usage, config TSV file formats, Docker, and the Python Plot chain API. Use when the user says trackplot, sashimi plot, coverage…
Its SKILL.md is about 1.9k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 3 other files, including reference files (for example `references/config_files.md` and `references/python_api.md`).
It sits in Research & Science, covering Bioinformatics. It works with Python and Docker. The repository describes itself as: trackplot is a tool for visualizing various next-generation sequencing (NGS) data, including DNA-seq, RNA-seq, single-cell RNA-seq and full-length sequencing datasets. The licence is BSD-3-Clause.
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 56b69b1. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
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.
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
pipdockercondauvFrom the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):
trackplot.readthedocs.ioFrom URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Trackplot loads about 1.9k tokens when it runs, and up to ~4.2k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 149 tokens; SKILL.md has 620 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.
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.

This skill also uses 2 other files; get the full folder from GitHub.trackplot is a pure-Python (>=3.8) sashimi-plot / locus-visualization framework. It draws coverage, line, heatmap, individual-read (IGV), HiC, circRNA and motif tracks for a single genomic region, and emits journal-ready PDF/PNG/SVG. Input is given as tab-separated config files; output is one figure where each track maps to one config file.

Generate sashimi-style genome visualization plots (coverage, line, heatmap, IGV read-by-read, HiC, circRNA, motif) from BAM/bigWig/depth/HiC inputs.
Trackplot fits situations like: the user wants to plot NGS data over a genomic region; intron-shrinkage plots; single-cell barcode-split density; protein domain tracks.
Run `npx skills add ygidtu/trackplot --skill trackplot -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (skills/trackplot in ygidtu/trackplot) into .claude/skills/trackplot in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.
Run `npx skills add ygidtu/trackplot --skill trackplot -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (skills/trackplot in ygidtu/trackplot) into .agents/skills/trackplot in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.
Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add ygidtu/trackplot --skill trackplot -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/trackplot, .gemini/skills/trackplot, .github/skills/trackplot and .opencode/skills/trackplot in your project.
Going by SKILL.md and its folder, Trackplot needs the command-line tools its instructions call (pip, docker, conda and uv). Our summary lists: Python 3; Docker.
SKILL.md names 1 domain. As links in the text: trackplot.readthedocs.io. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.
Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. Review the folder before installing.
Trackplot is published under the BSD-3-Clause licence (declared in SKILL.md). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.
About 1.9k tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 7.8k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full. Its references folder adds about 2.2k tokens, read only when the agent opens those files.
