gget SKILL.md skillA

gget from k-dense-ai/scientific-agent-skills is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add k-dense-ai/scientific-agent-skills/gget@v1.7

Pins v1.7 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Queries 20+ bioinformatics resources through CLI/Python. Supports quick lookups of gene info, BLAST/BLAT, viral sequence downloads, PDB/mmCIF structures, G2P residue annotations, enrichment analysis, OpenTargets, COSMIC, CELLxGENE, and 8cube mouse specificity/expression data. Best for interactive exploration and simple queries. For batch processing or advanced BLAST use biopython; for multi-database Python workflows use bioservices.

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

# gget

## Overview

gget is a command-line bioinformatics tool and Python package providing unified access to 20+ genomic databases and analysis methods. Query gene information, sequence analysis, protein structures, viral sequences, expression data, disease associations, and mouse tissue/cell specificity metrics through a consistent interface. Most gget modules work both as command-line tools and as Python functions.

**Important**: The databases queried by gget are continuously updated, which sometimes changes their structure. Guidance here targets gget 0.30.8 (reviewed 2026-09-30). For reproducible work, pin `gget==0.30.8`; for broken upstream database adapters, update gget after checking release notes.

## Installation

Install gget in a clean virtual environment to avoid conflicts:

```bash
# Reproducible install targeting this skill
uv venv --python 3.13 .venv
source .venv/bin/activate
uv pip install "gget==0.30.8"
```

```python
import gget
```

## Quick Start

Inspect module-specific syntax before querying:

```bash
gget info --help
gget pdb --help
```

Most modules return:
- **Command-line**: JSON (default) or CSV with `-csv` flag
- **Python**: DataFrame or dictionary

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add k-dense-ai/scientific-agent-skills/gget@sha256:55027a94be8dde01

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.7, 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.
