Protein Mining

PassAudited by ClawScan on May 1, 2026.

Overview

This looks like a benign bioinformatics workflow, but users should verify the unprovided command/dependencies and independently validate any publication-ready claims.

Install only trusted bioinformatics tools, confirm what `protein-mining` refers to before running it, and review all scientific outputs carefully before relying on them for experiments or publication.

Findings (2)

Artifact-based informational review of SKILL.md, metadata, install specs, static scan signals, and capability signals. ClawScan does not execute the skill or run runtime probes.

What this means

A user or agent may need to find and run external tools that were not fully declared by the skill metadata.

Why it was flagged

The skill declares only three required binaries and no install steps, but its instructions reference many additional dependencies and a `protein-mining` CLI that is not supplied in the artifact set.

Skill content
requires: { "bins": ["mafft", "hmmbuild", "iqtree"] }, "install": [] ... Software Dependencies ... AlphaFold2 / ColabFold, Foldseek 8.0+ ... Usage: protein-mining --target "ABC transporter" --species plants
Recommendation

Before using the workflow, verify the exact executable and dependencies from trusted sources and avoid running an unknown `protein-mining` command from the system path.

What this means

Users could over-trust generated protein candidates, figures, or hypotheses without sufficient scientific validation.

Why it was flagged

The description frames the workflow as producing publishable, high-quality academic results, which may encourage overreliance on generated analyses.

Recommendation

Treat outputs as research assistance only and require expert review, reproducibility checks, and appropriate validation before publication or experiments.
