BWA Aligner Skill
Purpose
Enable BWA-MEM2 alignment for mapping sequencing reads to reference genomes with optimized parameter selection and quality assessment.
Capabilities
- Read alignment to reference genomes
- Parameter optimization for different read types
- Multi-threading configuration
- Index generation and management
- Alignment quality metrics reporting
- Support for paired-end and single-end reads
Usage Guidelines
- Generate genome indices before alignment
- Select appropriate parameters for read length and type
- Use multi-threading for performance optimization
- Validate alignment quality metrics post-processing
- Document parameter choices and rationale
- Archive index files for reproducibility
Dependencies
- BWA-MEM2
- minimap2
- samtools
Process Integration
- Whole Genome Sequencing Pipeline (wgs-analysis-pipeline)
- Long-Read Sequencing Analysis (long-read-analysis)
- Tumor Molecular Profiling (tumor-molecular-profiling)
Recommended Agent Skills

gsd-tools
Central utility skill for GSD operations. Provides config parsing, slug generation, timestamps, path operations, and orchestrates calls to other specialized skills. Acts as the unified entry point that the original gsd-tools.cjs provided via its lib/ modules (commands, config, core, init).
model-profile-resolution
Resolve model profile (quality/balanced/budget) at orchestration start and map agents to specific models. Enables cost/quality tradeoffs by selecting appropriate AI models for each agent role.
verification-suite
Plan structure validation, phase completeness checks, reference integrity verification, and artifact existence confirmation. Provides the structured verification layer ensuring GSD artifacts are well-formed and complete.
state-management
STATE.md reading, writing, and field-level updates. Provides cross-session state persistence via .planning/STATE.md with structured fields for current task, completed phases, blockers, decisions, and quick tasks.
git-integration
Git commit patterns, formats, and conventions for GSD methodology. Provides atomic commits per task, structured commit messages, planning file commits, branch management, and milestone tag operations.
frontmatter-parsing
YAML frontmatter parsing and manipulation for .planning/ documents. Provides read, write, update, query, and validation operations on frontmatter blocks in GSD markdown artifacts.
