bio-fasta-database-curator from fmschulz/omics-skills is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add fmschulz/omics-skills/bio-fasta-database-curator@git:20261001.bf5afd6

Pins git:20261001.bf5afd6 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Curate and validate FASTA or FAA databases. Use when standardizing headers, merging or deduplicating references, converting GenBank, or preparing BLAST, MMseqs2, or HMM inputs.

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

# FASTA Database Curator

Curate FASTA/FAA reference databases: standardize headers, merge files, remove duplicates, and validate the result for BLAST, DIAMOND, MMseqs2, or HMMER. Every transformation leaves a header mapping and a deduplication report.

Supplementary version-grounded tool notes: [tools.md](tools.md).

## Header Format Standards

### Recommended Format

Use pipe-separated fields with a consistent source prefix:

```
>PREFIX|ACCESSION|DESCRIPTION
SEQUENCE...
```

**Examples:**
```
>VP|Mavirus_MCP|Major_capsid_protein_[Virophage]
>PLV|NC_021333_1|Polinton-like_virus_hypothetical_protein
>NCLDV|YP_009173877.1|DNA_polymerase_[Marseilleviridae]
```

### What the bundled script does

`scripts/curate_fasta.py` keeps the whole raw header, replaces each whitespace run and each character outside `A-Za-z0-9_.|:-` with `_`, collapses repeated `_`, and prepends `PREFIX|` when `--prefix` is set:

```
>seq 1 alpha protein          ->  >REF|seq_1_alpha_protein
>NC_021333.1 hypothetical     ->  >REF|NC_021333.1_hypothetical
```

Split accession and description into separate pipe fields with a custom rule, and keep the mapping table for it as well.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add fmschulz/omics-skills/bio-fasta-database-curator@sha256:c981f29daaca350d

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261001.bf5afd6, 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.
