From the SKILL.md

## Version Compatibility Reference examples tested with: bcftools 1.19+, minimap2 2.26+, samtools 1.19+ Before using code patterns, verify installed versions match. If versions differ: - 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. # Long-Read SV Pipeline **"Detect structural variants from my long-read sequencing data"** → Orchestrate minimap2 alignment, SV calling (Sniffles2/cuteSV), VCF merging across callers, annotation (AnnotSV), and visualization for ONT or PacBio data.

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

End-to-end workflow for detecting structural variants from long-read sequencing data. Covers ONT/PacBio alignment with minimap2 and SV calling with Sniffles or cuteSV. Use when detecting structural variants from long reads.

How do I install it?

Run `npx skills add BioTender-max/awesome-bio-agent-skills --skill longread-sv-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.
