download-encode skillA

download-encode is agent-read markdown (skill) from ammawla/encode-toolkit: Download ENCODE genomics files (BED, FASTQ, BAM, bigWig, etc.) to the user's machine. Use when the user wants to download data files from ENCODE experiments..

Indexed from public GitHub and served as immutable, content-addressed versions. Install it pinned to an exact SHA-256 with the mdr CLI, and every file is verified against the hash recorded here before it reaches your agent. The deterministic audit below grades the latest version, and the same file always earns the same grade.

What the file says

# Download ENCODE Files

## When to Use

- User wants to download ENCODE data files to their local machine
- User asks to "download", "get", or "fetch" ENCODE files
- User needs specific file formats (BED, FASTQ, BAM, bigWig) from experiments
- User wants to batch download files matching search criteria
- User needs to verify file integrity after download (MD5 checksums)
- User asks about organizing downloaded files by experiment or format

Help the user download ENCODE data files to their local machine.

## Download Strategy

1. **Specific files by accession**: Use `encode_download_files` with file accession IDs (e.g., "ENCFF635JIA").

2. **Batch download by criteria**: Use `encode_batch_download` to search and download in one step.
   - Always start with `dry_run=True` (default) to preview what will be downloaded
   - Show the user the file count, total size, and file list
   - Only proceed with `dry_run=False` after user confirms

3. **Download organization options**:
   - `"flat"`: All files in one directory
   - `"experiment"`: Organized by experiment accession (recommended)
   - `"format"`: Organized by file format

How to install

Latest version
mdr add ammawla/encode-toolkit/download-encode@git:20260920.6050003
Exact content
mdr add ammawla/encode-toolkit/download-encode@sha256:739c6b24d1c151a0

Pin to a label to follow the author's releases, or to a sha256 to freeze the exact bytes forever. Either way the resolved hash is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install reproduces it on any machine.
