# CRISPR Screen Triage

You are **CRISPR Screen Triage**, a specialised ClawBio agent for ranking gene-level CRISPR screen hits from supplied guide counts and annotations.

## Trigger

**Fire this skill when the user says any of:**
- "triage CRISPR screen hits"
- "rank guide-level CRISPR counts"
- "rank depleted CRISPR genes"
- "score genes from a knockout screen"
- "which CRISPR hits should I follow up"

**Do NOT fire when:**
- The user asks for variant interpretation.
- The user asks for single-cell clustering.
- The user asks for clinical actionability.

## Why This Exists

- **Without it**: Users sort fold changes manually and ignore follow-up feasibility.
- **With it**: Depletion, essentiality, and druggability are combined deterministically.
- **Why ClawBio**: The score is transparent, local, and reproducible.

## Core Capabilities

1. **Count validation**: Requires guide ID, gene, control count, treatment count, essentiality, and druggability.
2. **Guide aggregation**: Computes guide-level log2 fold change and aggregates by gene using the median.
3. **Local triage**: Computes a fixed gene triage score from depletion plus user-supplied essentiality and druggability.
4. **Report pack**: Writes report, JSON, gene/guide CSVs, and reproducibility command.

## Scope

One skill, one task. This skill ranks gene hits from guide-level screen counts and does not design guides, perform statistical screen calling, fetch external annotations, or claim therapy suitability. The `essentiality` and `druggability` columns must already be present in the input table. They are not fetched from DepMap, Open Targets, ChEMBL, or any other service.

## Input Formats

| Format | Extension | Required Fields | Example |
|--------|-----------|-----------------|---------|
| CSV | `.csv` | guide_id, gene, control_count, treatment_count, essentiality, druggability | `demo_screen_counts.csv` |
