method-omics-qc SKILL.md skillA

method-omics-qc from sajor2000/methodsmith is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add sajor2000/methodsmith/method-omics-qc@git:20261016.73e5a37

Pins git:20261016.73e5a37 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Runs sequencing and omics QA: FASTQ, BAM/CRAM, VCF, count matrices, methylation arrays, sample swaps, batch confounding. Use when omics data needs QC before analysis.

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 Data QA Gate

## Skill Value

- **Problem it solves:** Sequencing and omics projects can move into analysis before raw data quality, sample identity, and batch confounding are checked.
- **Use when:** The user mentions FASTQ, BAM/CRAM, VCF, RNA-seq, WGS/WES, ATAC-seq, methylation arrays, FastQC, MultiQC, sample swaps, or omics batch effects.
- **Output:** A GO/NO-GO omics QA summary with modality-specific checks and blockers for downstream analysis.
- **Ask only if:** Only when modality, sample sheet, batch variable, or case/control grouping cannot be inferred.
- **Do not do:** Do not run differential expression, association testing, or clinical interpretation.
- **Interaction:** Check repo/config/chat evidence first. Ask one decision-changing question at a time; use the current harness's blocking question UI when available, otherwise present numbered choices and wait.

The omics counterpart to `method-data-qa`. Sequencing and array data fail in domain-specific ways (low base quality, adapter contamination, sample swaps, batch confounds with condition); this skill runs the right QC for the modality.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add sajor2000/methodsmith/method-omics-qc@sha256:b9c9df2dd32bf98d

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261016.73e5a37, 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.
