Trims kit-specific 3' adapters, strips UMIs or 4N degenerate ends, size-selects, and collapses small RNA-seq reads (miRNA, piRNA, tRF) with cutadapt or fastp. Use when choosing the kit's 3' adapter; setting the size window (18-26 nt miRNA vs 24-32 nt piRNA); deciding whether a library carries a true UMI (QIAseq) versus a 4N debiasing spacer (NEXTflex); reading the read-length histogram to judge library quality; or deciding whether to collapse identical reads before mapping.

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-small-rna-seq-smrna-preprocessing' ] || [ -L ~/.agents/skills/'bio-small-rna-seq-smrna-preprocessing' ]; then echo 'A skill folder named bio-small-rna-seq-smrna-preprocessing 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 "$d" checkout --quiet '908229c955510a1841b216e8bf58f6b22818d4dc' -- 'skills/bio-small-rna-seq-smrna-preprocessing' && mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills && cp -R "$d"/'skills/bio-small-rna-seq-smrna-preprocessing' ~/.agents/skills/'bio-small-rna-seq-smrna-preprocessing' && 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-small-rna-seq-smrna-preprocessing' ~/.claude/skills/'bio-small-rna-seq-smrna-preprocessing' (other agents: ~/.cursor/skills, ~/.copilot/skills, ~/.gemini/skills, ~/.gemini/config/skills, ~/.config/opencode/skills). Or install through the finder skill, which does both.
