pipeline-hic SKILL.md skillA

pipeline-hic from ammawla/encode-toolkit is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add ammawla/encode-toolkit/pipeline-hic@git:20260921.4ba10c6

Pins git:20260921.4ba10c6 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Execute ENCODE Hi-C pipeline from FASTQ to contact matrices and loop calls. Child of pipeline-guide. Provides Nextflow execution with Docker and cloud deployment. Use when processing Hi-C data, generating contact matrices, or calling loops. Trigger on: Hi-C pipeline, chromatin conformation, contact matrix, loop calling, TAD detection, Juicer, HiCCUPS, 3D genome.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# ENCODE Hi-C Pipeline: FASTQ to Contact Matrices and Loops

## When to Use

- User wants to run a Hi-C processing pipeline from FASTQ to contact matrices and loop calls
- User asks about "Hi-C pipeline", "contact matrix", "loop calling", "Juicer", "HiCCUPS", or "TAD detection"
- User needs to process Hi-C data for 3D genome structure analysis
- Example queries: "process my Hi-C FASTQs", "generate contact matrices from Hi-C", "call chromatin loops with HiCCUPS"

Execute the ENCODE Hi-C pipeline for chromatin conformation capture data,
producing multi-resolution contact matrices and loop calls.

## Pipeline Overview

```
FASTQ -> FastQC (raw reads)
      -> bwa mem -SP5M (both mates in one call) -> {sample}.paired.bam
         -> pairtools parse -> sort -> dedup -> select UU
              |
              +-> Juicer pre -> .hic -> HiCCUPS -> loops (BEDPE)
              |
              +-> cooler cload + zoomify -> .mcool
```

### Not run by this workflow

Adapter trimming, TAD calling, A/B compartment calling, and every cooltools
analysis are outside this workflow. They are documented as manual, optional
steps only: trimming in `references/01-qc-trimming.md`, distance decay and

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add ammawla/encode-toolkit/pipeline-hic@sha256:0181f164858afd5b

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260921.4ba10c6, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
