From the SKILL.md

## Version Compatibility Reference examples tested with: Bowtie2 2.5.3+, MACS3 3.0+, bedtools 2.31+, deepTools 3.5+, fastp 0.23+, samtools 1.19+ Before using code patterns, verify installed versions match. If versions differ: - R: `packageVersion('<pkg>')` then `?function_name` to verify parameters - CLI: `<tool> --version` then `<tool> --help` to confirm flags If code throws ImportError, AttributeError, or TypeError, introspect the installed package and adapt the example to match the actual API rather than retrying. # ATAC-seq Pipeline **"Run end-to-end ATAC-seq analysis from FASTQ to differential accessibility"** → Orchestrate QC, Bowtie2 alignment, MACS3 peak calling, FRiP/TSS enrichment QC, differential accessibility, and optional TOBIAS footprinting. Complete workflow from raw ATAC-seq FASTQ files to accessibility peaks, differential analysis, and TF footprinting. ## Workflow Overview ``` FASTQ files | v [1. QC & Trimming] -----> fastp (Nextera adapters) | v [2. Alignment] ---------> Bowtie2 | v [3. BAM Processing] ----> filter, shift, dedup | v [4. Peak Calling] ------> MACS3 | v [5. QC] ----------------> TSS enrichment, FRiP, fragment size | v [6. Differential] ------> DiffB

About this skill
What does the bio-workflows-atacseq-pipeline skill do?

End-to-end ATAC-seq workflow from FASTQ files to differential accessibility and TF footprinting. Covers alignment, peak calling with MACS3, QC metrics, and optional TOBIAS footprinting. Use when running end-to-end ATAC-seq analysis from FASTQ to differential accessibility.

How do I install it?

Run `npx skills add BioTender-max/awesome-bio-agent-skills --skill atacseq-pipeline --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.

Where does this skill come from?

From BioTender-max/awesome-bio-agent-skills, a repository with 135 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.

Is a popular skill a good skill?

Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
