Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00102 | $0.01841 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00051 | $0.00920 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00020 | $0.00368 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00010 | $0.00184 |
Grade A, and why
alterlab-scvi-tools 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 11d ago.
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.
This is a copy
69% identical to scvi-tools — 56 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.

scvi-tools
Overview
scvi-tools is a comprehensive Python framework for probabilistic models in single-cell genomics. Built on PyTorch and PyTorch Lightning, it provides deep generative models using variational inference for analyzing diverse single-cell data modalities.
When to Use This Skill
Use this skill when:
- Analyzing single-cell RNA-seq data (dimensionality reduction, batch correction, integration)
- Working with single-cell ATAC-seq or chromatin accessibility data
- Integrating multimodal data (CITE-seq, multiome, paired/unpaired datasets)
- Analyzing spatial transcriptomics data (deconvolution, spatial mapping)
- Performing differential expression analysis on single-cell data
- Conducting cell type annotation or transfer learning tasks
- Working with specialized single-cell modalities (methylation, cytometry, RNA velocity)
- Building custom probabilistic models for single-cell analysis
Core Capabilities
scvi-tools provides models organized by data modality:
1. Single-Cell RNA-seq Analysis
Core models for expression analysis, batch correction, and integration. See references/models-scrna-seq.md for:
- scVI: Unsupervised dimensionality reduction and batch correction
- scANVI: Semi-supervised cell type annotation and integration
- AUTOZI: Zero-inflation detection and modeling
- VeloVI: RNA velocity analysis
- contrastiveVI: Perturbation effect isolation
2. Chromatin Accessibility (ATAC-seq)
Models for analyzing single-cell chromatin data. See references/models-atac-seq.md for:
- PeakVI: Peak-based ATAC-seq analysis and integration
- PoissonVI: Quantitative fragment count modeling
- scBasset: Deep learning approach with motif analysis
3. Multimodal & Multi-omics Integration
Joint analysis of multiple data types. See references/models-multimodal.md for:
- totalVI: CITE-seq protein and RNA joint modeling
- MultiVI: Paired and unpaired multi-omic integration
- MrVI: Multi-resolution cross-sample analysis

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.

alterlab-scvi-tools is a skill published in the GitHub repository AlterLab-IEU/AlterLab-Academic-Skills (66 stars, last pushed 6d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 102 tokens to every session and 1,841 once invoked, about $0.0005 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. It is 69% identical to scvi-tools, differing in 56 lines, and is treated as a copy.
