Detects and removes contamination in genome assemblies via two disjoint workflows - foreign-sequence screening of a single-organism (eukaryote/isolate) assembly with NCBI FCS-GX (GenBank-submission-mandatory), FCS-adaptor, and BlobToolKit blob plots; and MAG/bin quality assessment with CheckM2 plus GUNC (chimerism) plus GTDB-Tk taxonomy, judged against MIMAG. Covers why CheckM2 alone is blind to disjoint-marker chimeras, the FCS-GX RAM wall, organelle/NUMT triage, strain heterogeneity, and the HGT-vs-contamination (tardigrade) trap. Use when screening an assembly for foreign contamination before GenBank submission, assessing MAG completeness/contamination/chimerism, deciding which contigs to remove, or distinguishing real HGT from contaminant contigs.

Quick start
Copy the install prompt. Use the green button above this README.
Send it to your agent. Paste it into your coding agent’s chat and send.
Review the setup. Your agent checks the skill’s instructions, requirements, and installation scope.
