Frames Bayesian phylogenetics as approximating a posterior distribution over trees conditioned on data AND priors via an MCMC that must be proven to have converged, using MrBayes, BEAST2, RevBayes, and PhyloBayes-MPI. Covers why convergence (ESS, PSRF, ASDSF, topology vs scalar) is the load-bearing claim, why posterior probabilities are systematically higher than bootstrap and overconfident under model misspecification, why the default branch-length prior inflates tree length, why the harmonic-…

Works with any agent that supports SKILL.md skills.

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/'bio-phylo-bayesian-inference' ] || [ -L ~/.agents/skills/'bio-phylo-bayesian-inference' ]; then echo 'A skill folder named bio-phylo-bayesian-inference already exists — not replacing it' >&2; false; else d=$(mktemp -d) && git clone --quiet --filter=blob:none --no-checkout 'https://github.com/lilinji/GeneTind-Life-Skills' "$d" && git -C "$d" checkout --quiet '908229c955510a1841b216e8bf58f6b22818d4dc' -- 'skills/bio-phylo-bayesian-inference' && mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills && cp -R "$d"/'skills/bio-phylo-bayesian-inference' ~/.agents/skills/'bio-phylo-bayesian-inference' && 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/'bio-phylo-bayesian-inference' ~/.claude/skills/'bio-phylo-bayesian-inference' (other agents: ~/.cursor/skills, ~/.copilot/skills, ~/.gemini/skills, ~/.gemini/config/skills, ~/.config/opencode/skills). Or install through the finder skill, which does both.
