View, query, and interpret VCF/BCF variant files with bcftools and cyvcf2. Use when inspecting variants, extracting fields with query format strings, converting VCF/BCF, or correctly reading a field -- QUAL (site) vs GQ (genotype) vs PL/GL likelihoods, AD vs DP and allele balance, GT phasing/ploidy/PS and missing-vs-hom-ref, INFO/FORMAT Number A/R/G semantics, symbolic alleles (<DEL>, <NON_REF>, spanning *) and END, or telling a raw gVCF apart from a filtered callset.

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