Designs and audits PCR and RT-qPCR primers with Primer3, explicit thermodynamic conditions, reference-based off-target amplification searches, and traceable sequence coordinates. Use for designing primer pairs, checking existing primers, exon-junction or isoform-specific assays, variant masking, cloning tails, multiplex compatibility, and interpreting Primer-BLAST results. Includes bounded local in-silico PCR and BLAST screening; distinguishes computational candidates from experimentally valida…

What this skill can do

Install

Paste this into your terminal. It downloads exactly the version we scanned, not whatever is newest.

if [ -e ~/.agents/skills/'primer-design' ] || [ -L ~/.agents/skills/'primer-design' ]; then echo 'A skill folder named primer-design already exists — not replacing it' >&2; false; else d=$(mktemp -d) && git clone --quiet --filter=blob:none --no-checkout 'https://github.com/K-Dense-AI/claude-scientific-skills' "$d" && git -C "$d" checkout --quiet '2d2065fb4520fa3f3f2bcf61cff26ec8b7eba4b5' -- 'skills/primer-design' && mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills && cp -R "$d"/'skills/primer-design' ~/.agents/skills/'primer-design' && 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/'primer-design' ~/.claude/skills/'primer-design' (other agents: ~/.cursor/skills, ~/.copilot/skills, ~/.gemini/skills, ~/.gemini/config/skills, ~/.config/opencode/skills). Or install through the finder skill, which does both.
