bioinformatics-project SKILL.md skillA

bioinformatics-project 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/bioinformatics-project@git:20261002.3faa684

Pins git:20261002.3faa684 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Structure reproducible bioinformatics projects with canonical layouts, restartable drivers, pinned environments, provenance, and lab notebooks. Use when starting or reorganizing a genomics project or making a sequencing analysis rerunnable.

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

# Bioinformatics Project Organization

Set up a computational-biology project so a stranger can understand what was done and why, and so every analysis can be rerun end-to-end from a script. Apply this when creating, restructuring, or reproducibility-hardening any genomics, metagenomics, sequencing, or computational-biology project.

Two assumptions drive every rule below (Noble 2009): a stranger must be able to reconstruct the analysis from the files alone, and everything will be rerun (with new data, new parameters, or a fixed bug), so build each experiment to re-execute from a script, never from memory.

## Instructions

### New project startup workflow

Before creating directories or running the first command, turn the project into
a small written contract:

1. Name the project with a durable, specific directory name.
2. Write the objective, analysis tracks, expected deliverables, input data
   types, compute environment, and known reference databases in `README.md`.
3. Create `tasks/METHODS.md` immediately and record every setup command, software
   version, database path, option, seed, and SLURM job ID as work proceeds.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add fmschulz/omics-skills/bioinformatics-project@sha256:6d28a78d89a5e64a

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261002.3faa684, 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.
