The Agent Skills Directory

[EXTERNAL_DOWNLOADS]: The skill installs and uses the 'biopython' package. This is a well-established and trusted open-source library used extensively in the scientific community.
[EXTERNAL_DOWNLOADS]: The skill makes network requests to well-known NCBI (National Center for Biotechnology Information) services for data retrieval and sequence analysis. These are official government-operated scientific resources.
[COMMAND_EXECUTION]: The skill provides patterns for running external bioinformatics binaries (such as BLAST+, Clustal Omega, and MUSCLE) via the subprocess module. It includes explicit security warnings to validate file paths and avoid interpolating unsanitized user input into these commands, which mitigates injection risks.
[SAFE]: Secret management follows industry standards by instructing users to load the 'NCBI_API_KEY' from environment variables rather than hardcoding credentials.
[SAFE]: The skill demonstrates high security awareness by explicitly referencing a past vulnerability (CVE-2025-68463) and recommending the use of the patched version (1.87+) for handling untrusted files.
