What gwas-catalog-skill does

gwas-catalog-skill works with GWAS Catalog REST API v2 resources for studies, associations, SNPs, EFO traits, genes, publications, loci, and metadata. An agent can filter records by a trait or gene and return a concise summary instead of the full API response.

All API calls go through scripts/rest_request.py. The script reads JSON with base_url and path, plus optional filters, a record path, and an item limit. Python and access to the GWAS Catalog API v2 are required.

Install it when Codex or ChatGPT needs compact GWAS Catalog summaries. Use save_raw=true when the full HATEOAS payload or pagination links are needed.

What it helps with

  • find studies for an EFO trait
  • filter associations by mapped gene
  • retrieve SNP and locus records
  • summarize GWAS publications
  • query catalog metadata

Example prompts for the agent

  • Find GWAS Catalog studies for the trait asthma and summarize them.
  • Show associations mapped to BRCA1 in a compact response.
  • Query GWAS Catalog metadata with `scripts/rest_request.py`.
