gwas-database SKILL.md skillA

gwas-database from jaechang-hits/sciagent-skills is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add jaechang-hits/sciagent-skills/gwas-database@git:20260827.cbbeb75

Pins git:20260827.cbbeb75 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

NHGRI-EBI GWAS Catalog REST API for SNP-trait associations from published GWAS. Query studies, associations, variants, traits, genes, summary stats. Build PRS candidates, analyze pleiotropy, fetch stats for Manhattan plots. No auth.

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

# GWAS Catalog Database — SNP-Trait Association Queries

## Overview

The NHGRI-EBI GWAS Catalog is a curated collection of published genome-wide association studies, mapping SNP-trait associations with genomic context. The REST API provides programmatic access to studies, associations, variants, traits, genes, and summary statistics. All responses are HAL+JSON with embedded `_links` for pagination.

## When to Use

- Finding genetic variants associated with a disease or trait (e.g., "which SNPs are linked to type 2 diabetes?")
- Retrieving genome-wide significant associations for a specific variant (rs ID)
- Exploring the genetic architecture of complex traits (number of loci, effect sizes)
- Checking variant pleiotropy (how many traits a single SNP affects)
- Downloading summary statistics for meta-analysis or polygenic risk score construction
- Identifying published GWAS studies by disease, gene, or PubMed ID
- Cross-referencing EFO trait ontology terms with GWAS evidence
- Building candidate gene lists from GWAS association regions
- Use **omics-plotting** SKILL to render Manhattan, QQ, and forest plots from the summary statistics / association results

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add jaechang-hits/sciagent-skills/gwas-database@sha256:03ddcf9fe3f35d0d

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260827.cbbeb75, 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.
