encode-experiment-search
Use this skill to search ENCODE experiments by assay or free-text keyword and return compact metadata summaries for public epigenomics records.
SKILL.mdskills/epigenomics-and-chromatin/encode-experiment-search/SKILL.md
GitHubPurpose
Search the official ENCODE portal for public experiment metadata and summarize a small result set.
When to use
- You need a quick ENCODE metadata search starter.
- You want public assay, biosample, and accession metadata for epigenomics planning or triage.
When not to use
- You need raw file downloads or workflow execution.
- You need full ENCODE schema coverage instead of a compact summary.
Inputs
- A free-text search term such as
ATAC-seq. - A small result limit.
Outputs
- A JSON summary with ENCODE experiment accessions and key metadata fields.
Requirements
- Network access to
encodeproject.org - Python standard library only
