Remove sequencing adapters from FASTQ files using Cutadapt and Trimmomatic. Supports single-end and paired-end reads, Illumina TruSeq, Nextera, and custom adapter sequences. Use when FastQC shows adapter contamination or before alignment of short reads.

Works with any agent that supports SKILL.md skills.

What this skill can do

Install

Paste this into your terminal. It downloads exactly the version we scanned, not whatever is newest.

if [ -e ~/.agents/skills/'bio-read-qc-adapter-trimming' ] || [ -L ~/.agents/skills/'bio-read-qc-adapter-trimming' ]; then echo 'A skill folder named bio-read-qc-adapter-trimming already exists — not replacing it' >&2; false; else d=$(mktemp -d) && git clone --quiet --filter=blob:none --no-checkout 'https://github.com/BioTender-max/awesome-bio-agent-skills' "$d" && git -C "$d" checkout --quiet '8cbdd18837aa6296c4e77616a03b323bd69b57b1' -- 'skills/bioskills/adapter-trimming' && mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills && cp -R "$d"/'skills/bioskills/adapter-trimming' ~/.agents/skills/'bio-read-qc-adapter-trimming' && rm -rf "$d"; fi

Codex reads ~/.agents/skills directly. For Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Antigravity or OpenCode, also link it. For Claude Code: ln -s ~/.agents/skills/'bio-read-qc-adapter-trimming' ~/.claude/skills/'bio-read-qc-adapter-trimming' (other agents: ~/.cursor/skills, ~/.copilot/skills, ~/.gemini/skills, ~/.gemini/config/skills, ~/.config/opencode/skills). Or install through the finder skill, which does both.
