+description: Skills and tools for editing OBO format ontologies, including querying terms, checking out/checking in individual terms, and following OBO format conventions. Do not use this if the source for the ontology you are editing is not in obo format (e.g. ofn)
+---
+
+# OBO Ontology Editing Guide
+
+This skill provides guidance and tools for editing ontologies in OBO format.
+
+## Project Layout Conventions
+
+Most OBO ontologies follow a similar structure:
+- Main development file is typically `src/ontology/{ontology}-edit.obo`
+- Individual terms can be checked out to `terms/` directory for editing
+- Some projects may have different layouts - check the project's documentation
+
+## Querying Ontology Terms
+
+Use the `obo-grep.pl` script for searching OBO files:
+
+- Look at a specific term by ID:
+    - `obo-grep.pl --noheader -r 'id: ONTO:0004177' src/ontology/{ontology}-edit.obo`
+- All mentions of an ID:
+    - `obo-grep.pl --noheader -r 'ONTO:0004177' src/ontology/{ontology}-edit.obo`
+- Search by regex (e.g., all mentions of hand or foot):
+    - `obo-grep.pl --noheader -r '(hand|foot)' src/ontology/{ontology}-edit.obo`
+- Search is much faster than full file reads
+- ONLY search the main edit file (usually `src/ontology/{ontology}-edit.obo`)
+- DO NOT do manual greps or read entire files unless necessary
+
+## Before Making Edits
+
+- Read the request carefully and make a plan, especially if there is nuance
+- If a PMID is mentioned, try to read it using: `aurelian fulltext PMID:NNNNNN`
+- This also works for DOIs and URLs for scientific papers (if accessible)
+- ALWAYS check proposed parent terms for consistency
+- Check project-specific guidelines if available
+
+## Editing Workflow
+
+### IMPORTANT: Use Checkout/Checkin for Large Files
+
+- Do not edit large ontology files directly
+- Use the checkout/checkin workflow for individual terms
+- Check out a term: `obo-checkout.pl src/ontology/{ontology}-edit.obo ONTO:1234567 [OTHER_IDS]`
+- This creates a single stanza file: `terms/{ontology}_1234567.obo` (note: colon replaced with underscore)
+- Edit the small file in the `terms/` folder
+- Check back in: `obo-checkin.pl src/ontology/{ontology}-edit.obo ONTO:1234567 [OTHER_IDS]`
+- Checking in updates the edit file and removes the file from `terms/`
+- You can edit multiple terms in one batch file if needed
+
+### Scripts Available
+
+This skill includes three essential scripts:
+1. `obo-grep.pl` - Fast searching of OBO files
+2. `obo-checkout.pl` - Extract terms to individual files for editing
+3. `obo-checkin.pl` - Merge edited terms back into main file
+
+All scripts are available in your PATH when this skill is loaded.
+
+## OBO Format Guidelines
+
+### Basic Structure
+
+- Term ID format: `ONTO:NNNNNNN` (check project conventions for number of digits)
+- Each term requires:
+  - `id:` - unique identifier
+  - `name:` - human-readable label
+  - `namespace:` - ontology namespace
+  - `def:` - definition with references in square brackets
+- Use standard relationship types: `is_a`, `part_of`, `has_part`, etc.
+- Follow existing term patterns for consistency
+
+### Handling New Term Requests (NTRs)
+
+- Check project conventions for temporary ID ranges
+- Example: Some projects use ranges like `ONTO:777xxxx` for new terms
+- Always check for ID clashes: `grep 'id: ONTO:777' src/ontology/{ontology}-edit.obo`
+- NEVER guess ontology IDs - use search tools to find actual terms
+- NEVER guess PMIDs for references - do web searches if needed
+
+### Citations and References
+
+- Cite publications appropriately: `def: "..." [PMID:nnnn, doi:mmmm]`
+- Fetch full text when needed: `aurelian fulltext <PMID:nnn>` (also works with DOIs and URLs)
+- All synonyms should include proper citations
+- Never use empty brackets `[]` without a source
+
+### Synonyms
+
+Synonyms should include proper attribution:
+
+**Correct:**
+```
+synonym: "alternative name" EXACT [PMID:12345678]
+synonym: "abbrev" EXACT ABBREVIATION [PMID:12345678]
+```
+
+### Relationships and Logical Definitions
+
+- All terms should have at least one `is_a` parent
+- Logical definitions follow genus-differentia form
+- Text definitions should mirror logical definitions
+- Include source attribution for relationships when based on literature:
+
+### Logical Definitions (intersection_of)
+
+Example of proper intersection_of usage:
+
+```
+[Term]
+id: ONTO:0000715
+name: specific disease
+def: "A general disease that involves specific location." [PMID:12345678]
+is_a: ONTO:0001082 ! general disease
+intersection_of: ONTO:0004971 ! general disease
+intersection_of: disease_has_location UBERON:0000029 ! specific location
+```
+
+Note that in OWL this corresponds to: `'specific disease' EquivalentTo 'general disease' and 'disease has location' some 'specific location'`
+
+## Obsoleting Terms
+
+- Obsolete terms should have NO logical axioms (`is_a`, `relationship`, `intersection_of`)
+- Obsolete terms may have one `replaced_by` tag (exact replacement)
+- Or multiple `consider` tags (suggested alternatives)
+- Always include obsolescence reason and tracker reference
+
+Example of simple obsolescence:
+
+```
+[Term]
+id: ONTO:0100334
+name: obsolete term name
+property_value: IAO:0000231 OMO:0001000
+property_value: IAO:0000233 "https://github.com/{project}/issues/XXXX" xsd:anyURI
+is_obsolete: true
+replaced_by: ONTO:0100321
+```
+
+Example with considerations instead of replacement:
+
+```
+[Term]
+id: ONTO:0100229
+name: obsolete term name
+def: "OBSOLETE. Original definition here." [original references]
+property_value: IAO:0000231 OMO:0001000
+property_value: IAO:0000233 "https://github.com/{project}/issues/XXXX" xsd:anyURI
+is_obsolete: true
+consider: ONTO:0100259
+consider: ONTO:0100260
+```
+
+### Important Notes on Obsolescence
+
+- Synonyms and xrefs can be migrated to replacement terms judiciously
+- Never do complete merges with `alt_id` - use obsolescence with replacement instead
+- No relationships should point to an obsolete term
+- When obsoleting, you may need to rewire other terms to "skip" the obsoleted term
+
+## Metadata Best Practices
+
+- Link to issue trackers: `property_value: IAO:0000233 "https://github.com/{project}/issues/XXXX" xsd:anyURI`
+- Sign new terms (don't tag pre-existing terms):
+  ```
+  property_value: http://purl.org/dc/terms/creator https://orcid.org/0000-0001-2345-6789
+  ```
+- All terms should have definitions with at least one reference (preferably PMID)
+- Dates are typically auto-generated by build processes
+
+## Syntax Checking
+
+Validate OBO syntax using ROBOT:
+
+```bash
+robot convert --catalog src/ontology/catalog-v001.xml \
+  -i src/ontology/{ontology}-edit.obo \
+  -f obo \
+  -o {ontology}-edit.TMP.obo
+```
+
+Use `-vvv` flag for full stack trace if there are errors.
+
+## Design Patterns
+
+Many OBO ontologies use DOSDP (Dead Simple Ontology Design Patterns):
+- Check `src/patterns/dosdp-patterns/*.yaml` for project-specific patterns
+- Follow existing patterns when creating similar terms
+- Common patterns include:
+  - Location-based disease patterns
+  - Gene-related disease patterns
+  - Part-of hierarchies
+  - Abnormality patterns
+
+
+## Important Reminders
+
+- NEVER guess identifiers of any kind
+- If you include an identifier not provided by the user, you MUST verify it
+- PMIDs can be checked with `aurelian` or web search
+- Always follow project-specific conventions and check existing examples
+- When in doubt, ask for clarification rather than making assumptions
