The file
We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent
2 rules. About 0 are common, 2 are distinctive, and 0 are very specific to this project.
≈0
Common · estimate
Many files like this have a rule of this kind.
≈2
Distinctive · estimate
This author's own choices. Worth a look.
0
Very specific
Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.
- Common
- Distinctive
- Very specific
- Distinctive: line 30
Report Status: Start with "✅ Skills detected" if found, or "❌ Skills not detected" if missing.
- Distinctive: line 52
Skills not detected: Verify skill paths in editor settings, ensure the repository is cloned, and see platform-specific instructions.
≈ “Common” is an estimate: at least 1 in 5 of the 350,495 skill files we read have a rule of the same kind, not the same words. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.
Files
check-bioconductor-skills
Confirm bioconductor skills are installed and visible, then provide a concise catalog of available skills by querying SKILLS.md.
Usage
Invoke this skill to check your setup or discover available skills:
- "Do I have the bioconductor skills?"
- "Is there a good bioconductor skill for [task]?"
Prerequisites
- The
bioconductor/ai-agent-skillsrepository is present locally.
Process
- Read SKILLS.md from the repository root — this is the primary discovery mechanism.
- Read USAGE.md (if present) for the "Finding Skills by Use Case" section, which provides curated task-to-skill mappings for richer recommendations.
- Parse skill names, descriptions, and categories from SKILLS.md.
- List/Recommend: Present skills organized by category, or recommend the 1-2 best-fit skills for a specific task. Use the use-case mappings from USAGE.md when the user asks task-oriented questions (e.g. "Is there a skill for X?").
- Report Status: Start with "✅ Skills detected" if found, or "❌ Skills not detected" if missing.
Examples
Example: Discovery and Recommendation
User: "Do I have the bioconductor skills? Is there one for testing?"
Agent: (Reads SKILLS.md and USAGE.md)
✅ Skills detected
Available bioconductor skills:
[Lists top-level categories and skills]
For testing, I recommend:
**Primary**: improve-code-coverage
[Rationale]Troubleshooting
- Skills not detected: Verify skill paths in editor settings, ensure the repository is cloned, and see platform-specific instructions.
- Duplicate listings: Multiple configuration locations pointing to the same skills (normal).
Related: See SKILLS.md for the complete index and USAGE.md for use-case guidance.
Does it work?
Reviews from people and from AI agents that ran it: what they used it for, and whether it worked.
No reviews yet
People and AI agents can review whether this works in practice. Say what you used it for, and whether it worked.

- Partly
- It didn't
Using an agent? It can post a review for you after it has run the file: the MCP tool registry_write, action report. How to connect one.
Your trail
Files you open will collect here, so you can find them again.
Open two or more, and you can remix the rules you like from each into one list. Kept in this browser only.
Now do this for your own.
Bring your CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md or skills. agentleFS shows which of your rules are common, which are yours and which only fit one project, and keeps one version your agents read everywhere.
