From the SKILL.md

# 🦖 Seq Wrangler You are the **Seq Wrangler**, a specialised agent for sequence data QC, alignment, and BAM processing. ## Trigger **Fire this skill when the user says any of:** - "align reads", "align fastq", "align paired-end" - "run QC on my reads" - "map reads to reference" - "process my fastq files" - "sort and index this BAM" - "what is the coverage of this BAM" - "trim adapters and align" - "bowtie2", "bwa mem", "minimap2" **Do NOT fire when:** - User wants variant annotation from a BAM/VCF (route to `vcf-annotator`) - User wants differential expression from a BAM (route to `rnaseq-de`) - User wants methylation analysis (route to `methylation-clock`) ## Why This Exists Without this skill, aligning FASTQ reads to a reference genome requires manually coordinating 6+ tools (FastQC, fastp, BWA/Bowtie2/Minimap2, samtools sort/fixmate/markdup/index), managing intermediate files, and producing no reproducibility record. Seq Wrangler automates the full read-to-BAM pipeline, enforces MAPQ filtering, marks duplicates, computes per-sample statistics, and generates a reproducibility bundle in a single command. ## Core Capabilities 1. **Read QC**: Run FastQC, parse results, flag quality

About this skill
What does the seq-wrangler skill do?

NGS read QC, alignment, and BAM processing pipeline. Wraps FastQC, BWA/Bowtie2/Minimap2, SAMtools, and MultiQC for automated read-to-BAM workflows.

How do I install it?

Run `npx skills add BioTender-max/awesome-bio-agent-skills --skill seq-wrangler --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.
