gget
Query Genomic Databases with gget
Bioinformatics work often needs data from many changing genomics services. This skill guides Claude, Codex, and Claude Code to use gget for gene lookup, sequence retrieval, structure queries, and enrichment analysis.
Stop for confirmation before installing.

Install with my Agent
Copy this request to your Agent. It includes the canonical Skill page and manifest.
Review the Skillstore skill "gget" from https://skillstore.io/skills/k-dense-ai-gget.md and its manifest at https://skillstore.io/api/skills/k-dense-ai-gget/manifest. Verify the artifact. Stop and obtain explicit user consent before installing or changing files.Your Agent should still show its plan and request any confirmation required by the security policy.

Test it
Using "gget". Search for BRCA1 in human.
Expected outcome:
- Found BRCA1 with Ensembl gene identifier ENSG00000012048.
- Returned a short annotation, external database links, and available transcript context.
- Recommended sequence retrieval before downstream alignment or structure work.
Using "gget". Analyze ACE2 tissue expression and related pathways.
Expected outcome:
- Summarized tissue expression patterns from supported expression resources.
- Listed correlated genes for follow-up review.
- Suggested enrichment databases and cautioned about database version changes.
Using "gget". Plan a BLAST and structure workflow for a protein sequence.
Expected outcome:
- Selected an appropriate BLAST program and database based on sequence type.
- Outlined result limits, E-value settings, and expected hit summaries.
- Recommended checking PDB before running local structure prediction.
Security Audit
High RiskMost static findings are false positives caused by Markdown code fences, documented gget commands, expected analysis file writes, and public database links. The audit did find semantic risks: a bundled self-attested safety report, promotional steering text, an unsafe pickle cache example, and an output-path issue from unsanitized FASTA identifiers.

Skillstore Score
Why this score Evidence Confidence: MediumWhat You Can Build
Inspect a Gene Quickly
Find identifiers, annotations, sequences, expression context, and disease links for a gene during research review.
Analyze a Gene List
Run enrichment, expression, and pathway checks for a candidate gene set before deeper statistical analysis.
Compare Sequences and Structures
Plan sequence similarity searches, alignments, motif checks, and protein structure lookups for comparative studies.
Try These Prompts
Use gget to search for TP53 in human. Return the Ensembl ID, gene name, description, and key database links.
Use gget to retrieve nucleotide and protein sequences for ENSG00000139618. Explain the expected output files and formats.
Use gget to compare human BRCA1 and BRCA2. Include identifiers, protein sequences, structure resources, and an alignment workflow.
Use gget to analyze TP53, BRCA1, MDM2, and CDKN1A. Include enrichment, disease associations, expression context, limits, and saved outputs.
Best Practices
- Specify species, database release, and result limits for reproducible queries.
- Save outputs with clear prefixes and record database versions used in analysis.
- Keep credentials private and prefer secure configuration over command-line secrets.
Avoid
- Running large query batches without limits, retries, or rate controls.
- Treating external database results as final clinical or diagnostic conclusions.
- Using untrusted file names or sequence identifiers directly as output paths.
