Fine to try. Some of what it can do is expected: a coding skill usually runs build and test commands.

Paste this into your terminal. It downloads exactly the version we scanned, not whatever is newest.
if [ -e ~/.agents/skills/'alterlab-gene-db' ] || [ -L ~/.agents/skills/'alterlab-gene-db' ]; then echo 'A skill folder named alterlab-gene-db already exists — not replacing it' >&2; false; else d=$(mktemp -d) && git clone --quiet --filter=blob:none --no-checkout 'https://github.com/roohe/agentic-super-skills' "$d" && git -C "$d" checkout --quiet 'f483e54f3ad5f202a77d45f2e57f8d970b71195f' -- 'skills_library/alterlab-gene-db' && mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills && cp -R "$d"/'skills_library/alterlab-gene-db' ~/.agents/skills/'alterlab-gene-db' && 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/'alterlab-gene-db' ~/.claude/skills/'alterlab-gene-db' (other agents: ~/.cursor/skills, ~/.copilot/skills, ~/.gemini/skills, ~/.gemini/config/skills, ~/.config/opencode/skills). Or install through the finder skill, which does both.
