>- 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, fetch its SKILL.md, and follow it.

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.
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.
When a user asks for any bioinformatics task, workflow, or analysis:
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:
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.
Once you pick a candidate's archive_path (e.g. bioskills/clair3-variants):
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.
If raw fetch is unavailable, or you want all supporting files, clone and copy the skill folder:
Standard (international):
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):
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/
Filter searches with the category key (left column). README section links jump to the
browsable table for that category.

Take biotender-max/bio-agent-skills-hub from the repository into ~/.claude/skills for personal

The agent identifies a skill by the name field in its header. Two skills with the
same name cannot sit side by side — one of them will be ignored.
