Cancer genomics (TCGA et al.) via cBioPortal REST API. Retrieve somatic mutations, CNAs, expression, clinical data (survival/stage/treatment) across thousands of studies. Use for TMB, oncoprints, survival analysis. For population frequencies use gnomad-database; for drug-gene interactions use dgidb-database.
Works with any agent that supports SKILL.md skills.

Install
Paste this into your terminal. It downloads exactly the version we scanned, not whatever is newest.
if [ -e ~/.agents/skills/'cbioportal-database' ] || [ -L ~/.agents/skills/'cbioportal-database' ]; then echo 'A skill folder named cbioportal-database 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 "$d" checkout --quiet '8cbdd18837aa6296c4e77616a03b323bd69b57b1' -- 'skills/sciagent/cbioportal-database' && mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills && cp -R "$d"/'skills/sciagent/cbioportal-database' ~/.agents/skills/'cbioportal-database' && 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/'cbioportal-database' ~/.claude/skills/'cbioportal-database' (other agents: ~/.cursor/skills, ~/.copilot/skills, ~/.gemini/skills, ~/.gemini/config/skills, ~/.config/opencode/skills). Or install through the finder skill, which does both.
