Check before installing. Some of what it can do is expected: a coding skill usually runs build and test commands.

NCBI Gene via E-utilities: curated records across 1M+ taxa. Official symbols, aliases, RefSeq IDs, summaries, coordinates, GO, interactions. Use for gene ID resolution and cross-species function queries. For sequences use Ensembl; for expression use geo-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/'gene-database' ] || [ -L ~/.agents/skills/'gene-database' ]; then echo 'A skill folder named gene-database already exists — not replacing it' >&2; false; else d=$(mktemp -d) && git clone --quiet --filter=blob:none --no-checkout 'https://github.com/jaechang-hits/SciAgent-Skills' "$d" && git -C "$d" checkout --quiet '65d6ceb875e20b751ffb3a6d8ee19516558789e1' -- 'skills/genomics-bioinformatics/databases/gene-database' && mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills && cp -R "$d"/'skills/genomics-bioinformatics/databases/gene-database' ~/.agents/skills/'gene-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/'gene-database' ~/.claude/skills/'gene-database' (other agents: ~/.cursor/skills, ~/.copilot/skills, ~/.gemini/skills, ~/.gemini/config/skills, ~/.config/opencode/skills). Or install through the finder skill, which does both.
