Fine to try. Some of what it can do is expected: a data skill usually connects to databases or online services with your credentials.
Query the JASPAR database for Transcription Factor (TF) binding profiles. Use when retrieving Position Frequency Matrices (PFMs) or Position Weight Matrices (PWMs) for specific TFs, resolving gene symbols to JASPAR Matrix IDs, or getting TF metadata. Supports multiple output formats (MEME, TRANSFAC, PFM, JASPAR, YAML).

Paste this into your terminal. It downloads exactly the version we scanned, not whatever is newest.
if [ -e ~/.agents/skills/'jaspar-database' ] || [ -L ~/.agents/skills/'jaspar-database' ]; then echo 'A skill folder named jaspar-database already exists — not replacing it' >&2; false; else d=$(mktemp -d) && git clone --quiet --filter=blob:none --no-checkout 'https://github.com/franklee16/academic-research-skills' "$d" && git -C "$d" checkout --quiet '9a4b2db21fc4b217136ae4a0e6faad42d179ca03' -- 'science-skills/jaspar_database' && mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills && cp -R "$d"/'science-skills/jaspar_database' ~/.agents/skills/'jaspar-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/'jaspar-database' ~/.claude/skills/'jaspar-database' (other agents: ~/.cursor/skills, ~/.copilot/skills, ~/.gemini/skills, ~/.gemini/config/skills, ~/.config/opencode/skills). Or install through the finder skill, which does both.
