SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires requests, and includes scripts (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Inspect DepMap releases and files, then download only the datasets required for downstream analysis. The agent should choose parameters dynamically based on the user's request instead of relying on one fixed command.

Core Features & Use Cases

Listing available DepMap releases and files in a chosen release.
Downloading selective datasets (expression, mutations, copy_number, essentiality, metadata) with caching and manifest support.
Reusing cached files and overwriting when needed, plus optional manifest describing outputs.

Quick Start

Ask an AI assistant to download the needed DepMap datasets for a specific release and produce a manifest for downstream steps.

Frequently Asked Questions about depmap-download-data

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema

How do I download specific DepMap datasets like expression or mutation data for a single release?▼

DepMap selective downloads let you target specific datasets like expression, mutations, copy_number, or essentiality for a chosen release. Provide a release name and output directory, then the agent dynamically builds the minimal command set to fetch only those required files.

How can I list available DepMap releases and their files before downloading?▼

Listing available DepMap releases and their files is supported natively. By querying the DepMap downloads API catalog, you can inspect releases and files to identify exactly which datasets to target before initiating any download.

Can I cache DepMap downloads and generate a manifest for downstream analysis?▼

Yes, DepMap dataset downloads support file caching to reuse existing files and an option to generate a manifest. This manifest describes all downloaded outputs, providing a structured reference for downstream analysis steps.

Does the DepMap download tool require any specific Python dependencies to run?▼

The DepMap download tool requires the Python requests library to operate. This dependency enables the agent to interact with the DepMap downloads API catalog to list releases, inspect files, and fetch datasets.

What is the best way to overwrite cached DepMap datasets when re-downloading?▼

The best way to overwrite cached DepMap datasets is to use the supported overwrite option during selective downloads. This ensures your output directory contains the latest versions of expression, mutation, or copy_number files instead of reusing stale cached data.
