Query Ensembl for genomic data. Use when user asks about gene coordinates, genomic sequences, variants, gene structure, exons, transcripts, or species comparison. Triggers on "ensembl", "gene coordinates", "genomic location", "exon", "transcript", "variant location", "rsid", "rs number".

Works with any agent that supports SKILL.md skills.

Install

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

if [ -e ~/.agents/skills/'query-ensembl' ] || [ -L ~/.agents/skills/'query-ensembl' ]; then echo 'A skill folder named query-ensembl already exists — not replacing it' >&2; false; else d=$(mktemp -d) && git clone --quiet --filter=blob:none --no-checkout 'https://github.com/stanfish06/skillquarium' "$d" && git -C "$d" checkout --quiet 'f748ea91aa51ce8fc42c27c809dba73a8377b1d5' -- 'skills/query-ensembl' && mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills && cp -R "$d"/'skills/query-ensembl' ~/.agents/skills/'query-ensembl' && 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/'query-ensembl' ~/.claude/skills/'query-ensembl' (other agents: ~/.cursor/skills, ~/.copilot/skills, ~/.gemini/skills, ~/.gemini/config/skills, ~/.config/opencode/skills). Or install through the finder skill, which does both.
