# Bio Agent Skills Hub

> Discover and invoke 1,676 deduplicated biomedical AI agent skills from the Awesome Bio Agent Skills repository (20 source repos, 15 categories). Use this skill as a router whenever a user needs a bioinformatics/biomedical task (genomics, transcriptomics, single-cell, proteomics, protein design, clinical, epigenomics, multi-omics, pathway, metagenomics, database queries, visualization, workflows): search the index, locate the best-matching skill, fetch its SKILL.md, and follow it.

# Bio Agent Skills Hub

A **router/index skill** over **1,676 deduplicated biomedical AI agent skills**, aggregated and
deduplicated from **20 open-source repositories** into **15 categories**. Each skill is a
self-contained `SKILL.md` folder compatible with Claude-based agent frameworks.

- Repository: **https://github.com/BioTender-max/awesome-bio-agent-skills**
- Machine-readable index (authoritative): **`https://raw.githubusercontent.com/BioTender-max/awesome-bio-agent-skills/main/bioskill_index_v3.csv`** (1,676 rows)

> This skill does **not** duplicate the 1,676 skills. It tells the agent how to (1) **search** the
> index, (2) **locate** the single best-matching skill, (3) **fetch** that skill's `SKILL.md` on
> demand, and (4) **follow** it. Skill bodies are fetched from GitHub on demand; a `git clone`
> fallback (incl. a China mirror) is provided for offline / bulk / private use.

## How to use this skill (router workflow)

When a user asks for any bioinformatics task, workflow, or analysis:

### Step 1 — Search the index to find candidate skills

The index has columns: `skill_name, folder_name, source_repo, category, description, file_count, archive_path`.
`archive_path` = `<source_repo>/<folder_name>` and is the path under `skills/`.

Search **`skill_name` + `description` + `category` + `source_repo`** together (descriptions contain
rich "Use when..." text), and present ranked candidates with their **category** and **`archive_path`**
so the right one can be chosen:

```python
import pandas as pd

# Authoritative v3 index. Prefer a local copy if this skill bundles one; else read from GitHub raw.
INDEX_URL = "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/BioTender-max/awesome-bio-agent-skills/main/bioskill_index_v3.csv"
df = pd.read_csv(INDEX_URL)   # 1,676 rows

def search_skills(query, category=None, source=None, top=15):
    """Keyword search over name+description+category+source. Returns candidate skills."""
    q = query.lower()
    hay = (df["skill_name"].fillna("") + " | " +
           df["description"].fillna("") + " | " +
           df["category"].fillna("") + " | " +
           df["source_repo"].fillna("")).str.lower()
    hits = df[hay.str.contains(q, regex=False)].copy()
    if category:
        hits = hits[hits["category"] == category]
    if source:
        hits = hits[hits["source_repo"] == source]
    # rank: name match first, then description match
    hits["_name_hit"] = hits["skill_name"].str.lower().str.contains(q, regex=False)
    hits = hits.sort_values(["_name_hit", "file_count"], ascending=[False, False])
    return hits[["skill_name", "category", "source_repo", "archive_path", "description"]].head(top)

print(search_skills("variant calling").to_string(index=False))
```

If nothing matches, broaden the query (try a synonym), or filter by `category` (see the table below)
and browse that category's README section.

### Step 2 — Fetch the chosen skill's SKILL.md (content on demand)

Once you pick a candidate's `archive_path` (e.g. `bioskills/clair3-variants`):

```python
import urllib.request

archive_path = "bioskills/clair3-variants"   # from the search result
url = f"https://raw.githubusercontent.com/BioTender-max/awesome-bio-agent-skills/main/skills/{archive_path}/SKILL.md"
skill_md = urllib.request.urlopen(url, timeout=30).read().decode()
print(skill_md)   # read it, then follow its instructions
```

Some skills ship supporting files (`scripts/`, `references/`); list a folder via the GitHub API or
clone it (Step 3) if you need them.

### Step 3 — Offline / bulk / private fallback (clone)

If raw fetch is unavailable, or you want all supporting files, clone and copy the skill folder:

**Standard (international):**
```bash
git clone https://github.com/BioTender-max/awesome-bio-agent-skills.git
cp -r awesome-bio-agent-skills/skills/<archive_path>/ /path/to/your/agent/skills/
```

**China-accelerated (ghfast.top mirror)** — prepend the mirror to the GitHub URL; works for cloning
this or any source repo (`https://ghfast.top/https://github.com/<owner>/<repo>.git`):
```bash
git clone https://ghfast.top/https://github.com/BioTender-max/awesome-bio-agent-skills.git
cp -r awesome-bio-agent-skills/skills/<archive_path>/ /path/to/your/agent/skills/
```

## Notes

- The index (`bioskill_index_v3.csv`) is the single source of truth for what exists and where; always
  resolve `archive_path` from it rather than guessing folder names.
- Counts above (1,676 skills / 20 sources / 15 categories) match the repository README and index.
- Content fetch requires network access and a public repository; use the clone fallback otherwise.
