external-interface-changes

external-interface-changes is a Bioinformatics & life sciences skill for AI agents, published by nygenome in the Lancet2 repository on GitHub. Skillspace rates external-interface-changes D (68/100) and it passed the safety scan; the rating is based on static analysis only.

Use when proposing to add, remove, rename, change cardinality of, or silently change semantics of a VCF FORMAT, INFO, or FILTER field, OR when changing a user-facing CLI flag (rename, default, semantics). Trigger on "add a FORMAT field", "rename SB to STRBIAS", "change AD from R to A", "deprecate this field", "the field still exists but means something different now", "rename the --tumor flag", "change the default for --num-threads". Walks the user through a 5-operation matrix (add / rename / cardinality-change / remove / silent-semantic-change), produces a coordinated edit set across vcf_header_builder.cpp + caller code + tests + docs, contributes a structured paragraph to the commit body, and invokes the vcf-validator subagent before finalizing. Does NOT cover internal struct fields or non-VCF data formats — those go through normal review.
