What eqtl-catalogue-skill does

This skill sends requests to the eQTL Catalogue API through scripts/rest_request.py. It targets association lookups and documented metadata endpoints, favouring filtered queries over broad lists. By default, the agent turns the script’s JSON response into a short Markdown summary; raw JSON is returned when explicitly requested.

Requests use an API address and a path. Examples cover study listings and association searches using gene_id, rsid, or variant_id; the script also supplies compatibility parameters for association calls. The public API has returned 400 and 500 errors and timed out with documented parameters, so upstream failures can interrupt a query. The skill is listed for Codex and ChatGPT.

What it helps with

  • look up associations for a gene and variant
  • browse studies in the catalogue
  • summarize an API response in Markdown
  • retrieve data from documented metadata endpoints

Example prompts for the agent

  • Find associations for gene ENSG00000141510 and variant rs7903146.
  • Show a few entries from the eQTL Catalogue study list.
  • Summarize the association results for rs7903146.
