clinvar-database SKILL.md skillA

clinvar-database from marielynneblock/arcanum-artifex is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add marielynneblock/arcanum-artifex/clinvar-database@git:20260710.0115f49

Pins git:20260710.0115f49 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Query NCBI ClinVar for variant clinical significance. Search by gene/position, interpret pathogenicity classifications, access via E-utilities API or FTP, annotate VCFs, for genomic medicine.

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

# ClinVar Database

## Overview

ClinVar is NCBI's freely accessible archive of reports on relationships between human genetic variants and phenotypes, with supporting evidence. The database aggregates information about genomic variation and its relationship to human health, providing standardised variant classifications used in clinical genetics and research.

## When to Use This Skill

This skill should be used when:

- Searching for variants by gene, condition, or clinical significance
- Interpreting clinical significance classifications (pathogenic, benign, VUS)
- Accessing ClinVar data programmatically via E-utilities API
- Downloading and processing bulk data from FTP
- Understanding review status and star ratings
- Resolving conflicting variant interpretations
- Annotating variant call sets with clinical significance

## Core Capabilities

### 1. Search and Query ClinVar

#### Web Interface Queries

Search ClinVar using the web interface at https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/clinvar/

**Common search patterns:**
- By gene: `BRCA1[gene]`
- By clinical significance: `pathogenic[CLNSIG]`
- By condition: `breast cancer[disorder]`

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add marielynneblock/arcanum-artifex/clinvar-database@sha256:b93fad4c33e89e95

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260710.0115f49, 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.
