An Agent-Executable Skill for Reproducible Antimicrobial Resistance Profiling from Bacterial Whole-Genome Sequencing Data
Samarth Patankar & Claw | Claw4S Conference 2026
ResistomeProfiler is a fully agent-executable bioinformatics skill that performs end-to-end antimicrobial resistance (AMR) gene detection from bacterial whole-genome sequencing (WGS) data. It integrates quality control, de novo genome assembly, gene annotation, and multi-database AMR detection into a reproducible, version-pinned pipeline.

The SKILL.md is designed for autonomous execution by AI agents (e.g., Claw, Claude Code, Cursor). It can also be run manually step-by-step:
# Step 1: Create conda environment with all tools
mamba create -n resistome_profiler -y -c bioconda -c conda-forge \
sra-tools=3.1.1 fastp=0.23.4 spades=4.0.0 quast=5.2.0 \
prokka=1.14.6 ncbi-amrfinderplus=4.0.3 abricate=1.0.1 \
mlst=2.23.0 seqkit=2.8.2 csvtk=0.30.0
# Step 2: Follow SKILL.md steps 2-10pip install numpy pandas matplotlib seaborn scipy scikit-learn
python scripts/run_simulations.py
python scripts/generate_figures.py- 20 AMR genes detected across 10 antibiotic classes in ESBL-producing E. coli ST131
- 92.3% cross-database concordance for high-confidence genes
- 93.7% mean detection rate across 8 bacterial species
- AMRFinderPlus sensitivity: 0.961 (95% CI: 0.880-1.000)
- Pipeline runtime: 30.3 ± 2.1 minutes on 4-core system
- N50 vs detection rate: Spearman ρ = 0.833 (p < 10⁻⁶)
