bioSkills is a Custom GPT for code generation and scaffolding, published by GPTomics.
A comprehensive collection of skills that guide AI coding agents through bioinformatics tasks, from sequence manipulation to advanced single-cell and population genetics analyses.
Is it any good?
Effectiveness · benchmark pending
We haven't benchmarked bioSkills yet, so its score is provisional — computed from safety, maintenance, and documentation only, with popularity given no weight. When we benchmark it, we measure whether it produces materially better output than a frontier model alone, and that result leads the score. How we measure.
About bioSkills
Description · AI-summarised from the GPTomics README
bioSkills provides AI agents (Claude Code, OpenAI Codex, Google Gemini, OpenCode, OpenClaw) with expert knowledge for bioinformatics workflows. It includes code patterns, best practices, and examples for 45+ categories spanning sequence I/O, variant calling, phylogenetics, single-cell RNA-seq, ChIP-seq, metagenomics, clinical genomics, structural biology, and systems biology. Each skill is evaluated on the Bio-Task Bench dataset and installable per-agent-platform via platform-specific scripts. Target users range from undergrads to PhD researchers processing large-scale genomic data.
