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.

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/'encode-database' ] || [ -L ~/.agents/skills/'encode-database' ]; then echo 'A skill folder named encode-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 "$d" checkout --quiet '8cbdd18837aa6296c4e77616a03b323bd69b57b1' -- 'skills/sciagent/encode-database' && mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills && cp -R "$d"/'skills/sciagent/encode-database' ~/.agents/skills/'encode-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/'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.
