scanpy

scanpy is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from agentlas-ai/agentlas-desktop. It costs 93 tokens per session (4,178 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of scanpy, Apache-2.0.

A Python toolkit and workflow for analysing single-cell RNA sequencing data, where gene activity is measured separately in many individual cells. It supports quality checks, data scaling, grouping similar cells, finding genes that differ between groups, and making plots.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for quality control, normalization, PCA, UMAP or t-SNE plots, clustering, marker-gene analysis, differential expression, trajectory analysis, and single-cell visualisation.
Why use it?
It organizes the many steps needed to turn raw or processed single-cell measurements into interpretable cell groups and gene patterns. It can also help convert certain R data files into the h5ad format used by this workflow.

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

scanpy 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 16 executable files (assets/analysis_template.py, scripts/_common.py, scripts/annotate.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.

100% identical to scanpy — 66 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

Scanpy: Single-Cell Analysis

Overview

Scanpy is a scalable Python toolkit for analyzing single-cell RNA-seq data, built on AnnData. Apply this skill for complete single-cell workflows including quality control, normalization, dimensionality reduction, clustering, marker gene identification, visualization, and trajectory analysis. Current stable release: scanpy 1.12.x (January 2026).

Installation

Requires Python 3.12+ (scanpy 1.12 dropped Python ≤3.11) and anndata ≥0.10.

uv pip install "scanpy[leiden]"

The [leiden] extra installs python-igraph and leidenalg, required for Leiden clustering. For reproducible environments, pin a version: uv pip install "scanpy[leiden]==1.12.1".

For large or out-of-core datasets, many functions support Dask arrays (experimental):

uv pip install "scanpy[leiden]" dask

See the Using dask with Scanpy tutorial. For GPU-accelerated scanpy-like operations, use rapids-singlecell as a separate package.

If the input is an R-native single-cell object (.rds, .RData, Seurat, or SingleCellExperiment), first convert it to .h5ad with R tooling, then load it with Scanpy. Read references/r_interop.md for agent-run installation and conversion instructions across macOS, Linux, and Windows.

For AnnData structure and I/O details, use the anndata skill. For probabilistic models and batch correction, use scvi-tools.

When to Use This Skill

This skill should be used when:

  • Analyzing single-cell RNA-seq data (.h5ad, 10X, CSV formats)
  • Working with R-friendly single-cell datasets (.rds, .RData, Seurat, SingleCellExperiment) that need conversion to .h5ad
  • Performing quality control on scRNA-seq datasets
  • Creating UMAP, t-SNE, or PCA visualizations
  • Identifying cell clusters and finding marker genes
  • Annotating cell types based on gene expression
  • Conducting trajectory inference or pseudotime analysis
  • Generating publication-quality single-cell plots

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.

scanpy is a skill published in the GitHub repository agentlas-ai/agentlas-desktop (6 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 93 tokens to every session and 4,178 once invoked, about $0.0004 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. It is 100% identical to scanpy, differing in 66 lines, and is treated as a copy.
