encode-database
77 / 100 · Review before installing
Check before installing. Some of what it can do is expected: a coding skill usually runs build and test commands.
ENCODE Portal REST API for regulatory genomics: TF ChIP-seq, ATAC-seq/DNase-seq peaks, histone marks, and RNA-seq across 1000+ cell types. Search experiments by assay/biosample/target; download BED/bigWig; retrieve SCREEN cCREs by region or gene. Use to annotate variants with regulatory tracks, find open chromatin in a cell type, or fetch peak files for ChIP/ATAC analysis. For regulatory variant scoring use regulomedb-database; for GWAS associations use gwas-database.

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