BWA-MEM2 alignment skill for mapping sequencing reads to reference genomes with optimized parameter selection
npx skills add a5c-ai/babysitter --skill bwa-aligner --agent claude-code
Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.
Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
# BWA Aligner Skill ## Purpose Enable BWA-MEM2 alignment for mapping sequencing reads to reference genomes with optimized parameter selection and quality assessment. ## Capabilities - Read alignment to reference genomes - Parameter optimization for different read types - Multi-threading configuration - Index generation and management - Alignment quality metrics reporting - Support for paired-end and single-end reads ## Usage Guidelines - Generate genome indices before alignment - Select appropriate parameters for read length and type - Use multi-threading for performance optimization - Validate alignment quality metrics post-processing - Document parameter choices and rationale - Archive index files for reproducibility ## Dependencies - BWA-MEM2 - minimap2 - samtools ## Process Integration - Whole Genome Sequencing Pipeline (wgs-analysis-pipeline) - Long-Read Sequencing Analysis (long-read-analysis) - Tumor Molecular Profiling (tumor-molecular-profiling)

What does the bwa-aligner skill do?
BWA-MEM2 alignment skill for mapping sequencing reads to reference genomes with optimized parameter selection
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add a5c-ai/babysitter --skill bwa-aligner --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 a5c-ai/babysitter, a repository with 1,642 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.
