GATK Variant Caller Skill
Purpose
Provide GATK best practices for germline and somatic variant calling with joint genotyping support.
Capabilities
- HaplotypeCaller execution
- Base quality score recalibration (BQSR)
- Variant quality score recalibration (VQSR)
- Joint genotyping across cohorts
- GVCF generation and management
- Mutect2 somatic calling
Usage Guidelines
- Follow GATK best practices workflow
- Apply BQSR for improved accuracy
- Use VQSR for quality filtering when sample count permits
- Generate GVCFs for scalable joint calling
- Select Mutect2 for somatic variants
- Document resource bundles and versions
Dependencies
- GATK4
- Picard
Process Integration
- Whole Genome Sequencing Pipeline (wgs-analysis-pipeline)
- Clinical Variant Interpretation (clinical-variant-interpretation)
- Tumor Molecular Profiling (tumor-molecular-profiling)
- Rare Disease Diagnostic Pipeline (rare-disease-diagnostics)
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.
