Tutorials

Hands-on guides to get productive with AI coding tools and ClawBio. Each tutorial includes difficulty ratings and time estimates.

Basics — AI Coding Tools

STEP 1 Beginner 20 min

Setup

Get started with AI coding tools — install an agent, connect to a provider, and run your first prompt.
STEP 2 Beginner 30 min

Penguins Analysis

Data analysis with AI assistants — explore a real dataset, write code with suggestions, and produce publication-ready plots.
STEP 3 Intermediate 25 min

Journal Club Slides

Create presentations from papers — feed a PDF to an agent and receive a structured slide deck ready to present.
STEP 4 Intermediate 30 min

Single Cell Portal

Build an interactive scRNA-seq viewer — scaffold a web app that lets users explore dimensionality-reduction plots.
STEP 5 Advanced 20 min

Context Management

Understand context windows and costs — learn how context rot develops and how to use /compact to keep runs cheap and accurate.
STEP 6 Advanced 30 min

APM

Dependency manager for AI context — use the Agent Package Manager to declare, version, and inject context modules automatically.

Extras — AI Coding Tools

Beginner 10 min

Rules and Memory

Create rule files and memory to customise AI agent behaviour across sessions.
Beginner 10 min

GitHub Education

Apply for GitHub Education benefits and activate Copilot Pro with Claude — free for students.
Intermediate 20 min

Building Custom Agents

Create specialised AI agents with custom instructions, temperature settings, and tool access.
Intermediate 10 min

tmux Sessions

Run multiple AI coding sessions side-by-side using tmux for parallel workflows.

ClawBio Tutorials

STEP 1 Beginner 15 min

Run Your First Skill

Clone the repo, install dependencies, run the PharmGx demo, and understand ClawBio's input-output flow.
STEP 2 Intermediate 30 min

Build a Skill

Write a complete ClawBio skill from scratch — SKILL.md, Python, demo data, validation.
STEP 3 Intermediate 20 min

Telegram Bot

Deploy RoboTerri — a Telegram bot that runs ClawBio skills via any LLM provider.
WORKSHOP Beginner 60 min

Variant Interpretation Workshop

Annotate a real human genome in Google Colab. No installation, no terminal, no prior experience required. Covers variant annotation, pharmacogenomics, and clinical interpretation.
WORKSHOP Intermediate 40 min

30x WGS Workshop

Explore a real 30x whole-genome sequence in Google Colab. Structural variants, QC metrics, pharmacogenomics comparison. Goes beyond what SNP arrays can see.

Prerequisites

All tutorials assume you have:

  • Python 3.11+ installed
  • Git installed
  • A GitHub account
  • A terminal / command line

The beginner tutorials cover setup from scratch. Intermediate and advanced tutorials assume you've completed the setup tutorial or the Hackathon Setup.
