scvi-tools

scvi-tools is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from anthropics/life-sciences. It costs 193 tokens per session (1,867 once invoked), scanned A, original, no licence file.

A workflow for applying scvi-tools, a machine-learning library for single-cell data analysis. It supports methods for combining datasets, correcting batch differences, and analysing RNA, ATAC, protein, multiome, and spatial data.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for scVI or scANVI integration and batch correction, PeakVI for ATAC-seq, totalVI for CITE-seq, MultiVI for RNA-plus-ATAC data, and spatial-transcriptomics analysis.
Why use it?
It helps handle differences between experiments and analyse single-cell datasets with specialised statistical models.

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

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 5d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 8 executable files (scripts/cluster_embed.py, scripts/differential_expression.py, scripts/integrate_datasets.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.

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.

scvi-tools is a skill published in the GitHub repository anthropics/life-sciences (590 stars, last pushed 21d ago), with no licence file. It adds 193 tokens to every session and 1,867 once invoked, about $0.0010 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
