77 / 100 · Review before installing

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

Fetch a regional slice of plasma pQTL summary statistics from the UK Biobank Pharma Proteomics Project (UKB-PPP; Sun 2023 Nature) for a specific (protein, ancestry) measurement. Use when an agent needs per-variant beta / SE / p-value around a coloc-lead variant for downstream colocalisation, Mendelian randomisation, or regional plotting against a pQTL exposure. The canonical use case is the cis-window around the protein's coding gene TSS, but UKB-PPP releases full-genome summary stats per prote…

Works with any agent that supports SKILL.md skills.

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/'ukb-ppp-region-fetch' ~/.claude/skills/'ukb-ppp-region-fetch' (other agents: ~/.cursor/skills, ~/.copilot/skills, ~/.gemini/skills, ~/.gemini/config/skills, ~/.config/opencode/skills). Or install through the finder skill, which does both.
