| description | Audit or refresh a curated pack of eight high-signal omics runtime skills in a BioClaw installation. Use when the user wants stronger built-in guidance for common omics analyses inside agent containers without changing BioClaw source code. Ensures the eight runtime skill folders exist under `container/skills/` with the expected flat file layout. |

Add Omics Runtime Pack
This skill verifies that eight strong runtime skills are present under container/skills/ for common BioClaw analysis tasks.
What This Adds
container/skills/scrna-preprocessing-clustering/
container/skills/cell-annotation/
container/skills/chip-seq/
container/skills/atac-seq/
container/skills/differential-expression/
container/skills/proteomics/
container/skills/metagenomics/
container/skills/structural-biology/
Each runtime skill must contain only root-level files:
SKILL.md
technical_reference.md
commands_and_thresholds.md
What This Must Not Change
- Do not modify
src/, container/agent-runner/, Dockerfile, or any application code.
- Do not modify
src/container-runner.ts.
- Do not add Python packages, R packages, or other dependencies.
- Do not add nested
references/ directories under container/skills/<skill>/.
The contribution is delivered as runtime skill content plus this installer skill, without any source-code changes.
Why The Runtime Skills Must Stay Flat
BioClaw syncs container/skills/<skill>/ into /home/node/.claude/skills/<skill>/ inside the container, but the sync only copies the first directory level.
That means:
container/skills/<skill>/SKILL.md will sync
container/skills/<skill>/technical_reference.md will sync
container/skills/<skill>/commands_and_thresholds.md will sync
container/skills/<skill>/references/... will not sync
So every installed runtime skill must be flat.
Runtime Skill Source Of Truth
The runtime-ready versions now live directly in:
container/skills/
Treat those directories as the source of truth. Do not recreate alternate copies under .claude/skills/.
Implementation Steps
Run all steps directly. Only pause if one of the target runtime skill directories already exists and appears user-modified.
1. Verify Current State
Check:
pwd
ls -la container/skills
for skill in \
scrna-preprocessing-clustering \
cell-annotation \
chip-seq \
atac-seq \
differential-expression \
proteomics \
metagenomics \
structural-biology
do
test -e "container/skills/$skill" && echo "$skill already exists" || echo "$skill missing"
done
If any target directory already exists, inspect it before changing anything.
2. Create Or Update The Eight Runtime Skill Directories
For each skill listed below, ensure container/skills/<skill>/ exists and contains exactly the three required root-level files.
| Runtime skill | Required files |
|---|
scrna-preprocessing-clustering | SKILL.md, technical_reference.md, commands_and_thresholds.md |
cell-annotation | SKILL.md, technical_reference.md, commands_and_thresholds.md |
chip-seq | SKILL.md, technical_reference.md, commands_and_thresholds.md |
atac-seq | SKILL.md, technical_reference.md, commands_and_thresholds.md |
differential-expression | SKILL.md, technical_reference.md, commands_and_thresholds.md |
proteomics | SKILL.md, technical_reference.md, commands_and_thresholds.md |
metagenomics | SKILL.md, technical_reference.md, commands_and_thresholds.md |
structural-biology | SKILL.md, technical_reference.md, commands_and_thresholds.md |
Do not invent alternate content unless the committed runtime files clearly conflict with the current repository state.
3. Preserve The Runtime-Ready Shape
For every installed runtime skill:
- keep only the three root-level files above
- do not create
README.md
- do not create nested
references/
- keep the relative links in
SKILL.md pointing to technical_reference.md and commands_and_thresholds.md
4. Validate The Installed Pack
Run these checks:
find container/skills -maxdepth 2 -type f | sort
find container/skills -maxdepth 3 -type d -name references
The second command should produce no output for the eight installed skills.
Also confirm that no duplicate copy of the runtime pack remains under .claude/skills/add-omics-runtime-pack/.
Also confirm no external-path residue remains:
grep -RniE "/Users/|omics-skills-repo-template|bioSkills-main|OpenClaw-Medical-Skills-main|claude-scientific-skills-main" \
container/skills/scrna-preprocessing-clustering \
container/skills/cell-annotation \
container/skills/chip-seq \
container/skills/atac-seq \
container/skills/differential-expression \
container/skills/proteomics \
container/skills/metagenomics \
container/skills/structural-biology
That search should return no matches.
5. Report The Result
Summarize:
- which runtime skill directories were created
- whether all eight contain exactly the three required files
- whether any pre-existing directories needed conflict resolution
- that no source files were modified
