snpeff-variant-annotation
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.
Annotate and filter VCF variants with SnpEff and SnpSift. SnpEff predicts functional effects (HIGH/MODERATE/LOW/MODIFIER), genes, transcripts, AA changes, HGVS; SnpSift filters and adds ClinVar/dbSNP. Java CLI with Python subprocess integration. Use ANNOVAR for multi-database annotation; Ensembl VEP for REST API; SnpEff for fast CLI with pre-built genomes.

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