# Phylogenetics Tree Builder Skill ## Purpose Enable phylogenetic analysis for constructing evolutionary trees, performing multiple sequence alignments, and assessing phylogenetic relationships. ## Capabilities - Multiple sequence alignment (MUSCLE, MAFFT) - Maximum likelihood tree construction - Bayesian phylogenetic inference - Bootstrap support calculation - Tree visualization and annotation - Molecular clock analysis ## Usage Guidelines - Align sequences before tree construction - Select appropriate substitution models - Calculate bootstrap support for branch confidence - Visualize trees with meaningful annotations - Consider molecular clock constraints when appropriate - Document methodology and parameters ## Dependencies - RAxML-NG - IQ-TREE - MrBayes - MAFFT - MUSCLE - FigTree ## Process Integration - 16S rRNA Microbiome Analysis (16s-microbiome-analysis) - Shotgun Metagenomics Pipeline (shotgun-metagenomics) - Whole Genome Sequencing Pipeline (wgs-analysis-pipeline)

What does the phylogenetics-tree-builder skill do?
Phylogenetic analysis skill for constructing evolutionary trees and assessing relationships
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add a5c-ai/babysitter --skill phylogenetics-tree-builder --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.
