ena-database
75 / 100 · Review before installing
Check before installing. Some of what it can do is expected: a coding skill usually runs build and test commands.
ENA REST API for sequences, reads, assemblies, and annotations. Portal API search, Browser API retrieval (XML/FASTA/EMBL), file reports for FASTQ/BAM URLs, taxonomy, cross-refs. For multi-DB Python use bioservices; for NCBI-only use pubmed-database or Biopython Entrez.

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/'ena-database' ~/.claude/skills/'ena-database' (other agents: ~/.cursor/skills, ~/.copilot/skills, ~/.gemini/skills, ~/.gemini/config/skills, ~/.config/opencode/skills). Or install through the finder skill, which does both.
