Operating rules

Use scripts/gnomad_graphql.py for all gnomAD GraphQL work.
For nested GraphQL results, start with max_items=3 to 5.
Keep selection sets narrow and page or filter at the query level instead of asking for broad dumps.
Use query_path for long GraphQL documents instead of pasting large inline queries.
Re-run requests in long conversations instead of relying on earlier tool output.
Treat displayed ... in tool previews as UI truncation, not part of the real query.

Execution behavior

Return concise markdown summaries from the script JSON by default.
Return raw JSON only if the user explicitly asks for machine-readable output.
Prefer targeted queries for variant frequency, gene constraint, or transcript consequence context.
If the user needs the full payload, set save_raw=true and report the saved file path.

Input

Read one JSON object from stdin.
Required field: query or query_path
Optional fields: variables, max_items, max_depth, timeout_sec, save_raw, raw_output_path
Common gnomAD patterns:
{"query":"query { meta { clinvar_release_date } }"}
{"query":"query Variant($variantId: String!, $dataset: DatasetId!) { variant(variantId: $variantId, dataset: $dataset) { variantId genome { ac an af } } }","variables":{"variantId":"1-55516888-G-GA","dataset":"gnomad_r4"},"max_items":3}

Output

Success returns ok, source, top_keys, a compact summary, and raw_output_path when save_raw=true.
Failure returns ok=false with error.code such as invalid_json, invalid_input, network_error, invalid_response, or graphql_error.

Execution

echo '{"query":"query { meta { clinvar_release_date } }"}' | python scripts/gnomad_graphql.py

References

No additional runtime references are required; keep the import package limited to this file and scripts/gnomad_graphql.py.

Excalidraw Diagram Generator

by github

vendor ×3

Generate Excalidraw diagrams from natural language descriptions. Use when asked to "create a diagram", "make a flowchart", "visualize a process", "draw a system architecture", "create a mind map", or "generate an Excalidraw file". Supports flowcharts, relationship diagrams, mind maps, and system architecture diagrams. Outputs .excalidraw JSON files that can be opened directly in Excalidraw.

Use when you have a written implementation plan to execute in a separate session with review checkpoints

Data structure for annotated matrices in single-cell analysis. Use when working with .h5ad files or integrating with the scverse ecosystem. This is the data format skill—for analysis workflows use scanpy; for probabilistic models use scvi-tools; for population-scale queries use cellxgene-census.

Benchling Integration

by christophacham

×3

Benchling R&D platform integration. Access registry (DNA, proteins), inventory, ELN entries, workflows via API, build Benchling Apps, query Data Warehouse, for lab data management automation.

Comprehensive molecular biology toolkit. Use for sequence manipulation, file parsing (FASTA/GenBank/PDB), phylogenetics, and programmatic NCBI/PubMed access (Bio.Entrez). Best for batch processing, custom bioinformatics pipelines, BLAST automation. For quick lookups use gget; for multi-service integration use bioservices.

Query the CELLxGENE Census (61M+ cells) programmatically. Use when you need expression data across tissues, diseases, or cell types from the largest curated single-cell atlas. Best for population-scale queries, reference atlas comparisons. For analyzing your own data use scanpy or scvi-tools.
