Check primers for dimers, hairpins, and off-target amplification

3,880 stars

Best use case

primer-design-check is best used when you need a repeatable AI agent workflow instead of a one-off prompt.

Check primers for dimers, hairpins, and off-target amplification

Teams using primer-design-check should expect a more consistent output, faster repeated execution, less prompt rewriting.

When to use this skill

  • You want a reusable workflow that can be run more than once with consistent structure.

When not to use this skill

  • You only need a quick one-off answer and do not need a reusable workflow.
  • You cannot install or maintain the underlying files, dependencies, or repository context.

# Primer Design Check

In silico primer validation tool.

## Use Cases
- qPCR primer design
- Sequencing primer check
- Mutagenesis primer validation

## Parameters
- `forward_primer`: F sequence
- `reverse_primer`: R sequence
- `template`: Target genome (optional)

## Returns
- Dimer prediction
- Hairpin analysis
- Off-target BLAST results
- Tm and GC% calculations

## Example
Flags: Self-dimer detected at 3' end → redesign recommended

## Risk Assessment

| Risk Indicator | Assessment | Level |
|----------------|------------|-------|
| Code Execution | Python/R scripts executed locally | Medium |
| Network Access | No external API calls | Low |
| File System Access | Read input files, write output files | Medium |
| Instruction Tampering | Standard prompt guidelines | Low |
| Data Exposure | Output files saved to workspace | Low |

## Security Checklist

- [ ] No hardcoded credentials or API keys
- [ ] No unauthorized file system access (../)
- [ ] Output does not expose sensitive information
- [ ] Prompt injection protections in place
- [ ] Input file paths validated (no ../ traversal)
- [ ] Output directory restricted to workspace
- [ ] Script execution in sandboxed environment
- [ ] Error messages sanitized (no stack traces exposed)
- [ ] Dependencies audited
## Prerequisites

No additional Python packages required.

## Evaluation Criteria

### Success Metrics
- [ ] Successfully executes main functionality
- [ ] Output meets quality standards
- [ ] Handles edge cases gracefully
- [ ] Performance is acceptable

### Test Cases
1. **Basic Functionality**: Standard input → Expected output
2. **Edge Case**: Invalid input → Graceful error handling
3. **Performance**: Large dataset → Acceptable processing time

## Lifecycle Status

- **Current Stage**: Draft
- **Next Review Date**: 2026-03-06
