pathway-enrichment

pathway-enrichment is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from agentlas-ai/agentlas-desktop. It costs 239 tokens per session (3,601 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of pathway-enrichment, Apache-2.0.

A bioinformatics workflow for pathway and gene-set enrichment: testing whether a gene list or ranked gene list contains more genes from known biological groups than expected by chance. It supports methods including over-representation analysis and GSEA, or gene set enrichment analysis.

In plain words
What is it for?
Analyzing genes from differential-expression studies, single-cell clustering, CRISPR screens, or proteomics to find relevant GO, KEGG, Reactome, WikiPathways, or Hallmark gene sets.
Why use it?
It turns a long list of genes from experiments into interpretable biological themes while helping avoid choosing the wrong test or overstating results.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

pathway-enrichment scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 1mo ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/run_enrichment.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Pathway Enrichment

Overview

Enrichment analysis answers "what biology is over-represented in my genes?" It is the standard last step after differential expression, a screen, or clustering. There are two core methods, and choosing correctly is the single most important decision:

  • ORA (over-representation analysis) — take a thresholded gene list (e.g., padj < 0.05) and test which gene sets it overlaps more than chance, using Fisher's exact / hypergeometric tests. Tools: Enrichr, g:Profiler.
  • GSEA (gene set enrichment analysis) — take the whole ranked list of genes (no threshold) and test whether each gene set is concentrated toward the top or bottom. Preranked GSEA uses a per-gene score (e.g., the DESeq2 stat). Better when effects are broad and subtle.

This skill orchestrates these analyses, the gene-set databases behind them, and the interpretation pitfalls that make results wrong or unpublishable.

When to Use This Skill

Use this skill when the user wants to:

  • Find enriched GO terms / KEGG / Reactome / WikiPathways / MSigDB Hallmark sets in a gene list.
  • Run GSEA / preranked GSEA on DESeq2, edgeR, limma, or Scanpy rank_genes_groups output.
  • Score pathway activity per sample/cell (ssGSEA, GSVA).
  • Interpret, deduplicate, and visualize enrichment results, or build a publication table/figure.
  • Decide between ORA and GSEA, pick gene-set libraries, choose a background, or fix gene-ID problems.

For quick one-off Enrichr lookups the gget skill (gget enrichr) is lighter weight; for raw pathway/interaction APIs (Reactome, KEGG, STRING) see the database-lookup skill. Use this skill for full, defensible enrichment workflows.

Choosing the Right Method

Situation Method Tool / entry point
You have a discrete hit list (DE genes, screen hits, cluster markers) ORA gp.enrichr(...) or g:Profiler
You have a full ranked list (every tested gene + a score) Preranked GSEA gp.prerank(...)
You have an expression matrix + class labels GSEA gp.gsea(...)
You want a pathway score per sample/cell ssGSEA / GSVA gp.ssgsea(...), gp.gsva(...)
You need a custom background or 500+ organisms ORA with custom domain g:Profiler (domain_scope='custom')
You want TF / signaling activity (PROGENy, DoRothEA) activity inference see references/databases-and-gene-sets.md (decoupler)

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
