Fine to try. Some of what it can do is expected: a coding skill usually runs build and test commands.
By lilinji/GeneTind-Life-Skills (GitHub) · coding · 17 stars · scanned at commit 908229c
Query TCGA tumor biology through the ucscxenatoolspy API. Supports tumor-vs-normal differential expression, gene-gene correlation, survival association, and cancer catalogue browsing across 30+ TCGA cancer types.
Works with any agent that supports SKILL.md skills.

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

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/'xena-tcga-gene-query' ~/.claude/skills/'xena-tcga-gene-query' (other agents: ~/.cursor/skills, ~/.copilot/skills, ~/.gemini/skills, ~/.gemini/config/skills, ~/.config/opencode/skills). Or install through the finder skill, which does both.
