awslabs/hcls-agent-skills is a collection of reusable instructions that help AI agents handle healthcare and life sciences work, including genomics, medical imaging, claims, and drug discovery. It is intended for agents running on Agent Skills-compatible platforms, and the catalogue entries are its individual domain skills.
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.

A badge with what this costs and how it scanned, read live from this page, so it follows the numbers instead of freezing them. Markdown for a README, HTML for a documentation site or a project page.

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 | $0.00130 | $0.04533 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00065 | $0.02266 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00026 | $0.00907 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00013 | $0.00453 |
Grade A, and why
cell-type-annotation 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.

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.

cell-type-annotation is a skill published in the GitHub repository awslabs/hcls-agent-skills (31 stars, last pushed 10d ago), licensed MIT-0. It adds 130 tokens to every session and 4,533 once invoked, about $0.0006 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.
Other skills, from other repositories
Single-Cell Analysis Skills Index
Core skills for single-cell RNA-seq analysis: quality control, cell type annotation, and trajectory inference. These are high-priority actionable workflows — load them first for common single-cell tasks.
cellxgene-census-query
Query CZ CELLxGENE Census (61M+ cells). Filter by cell type/tissue/disease, retrieve expression data, and integrate with scanpy/PyTorch for population-scale single-cell analysis. Use this skill when: (1) Querying single-cell expression data by cell type, tissue, or disease, (2) Exploring available single-cell datasets…
single-cell-multi-omics-analysis-scvi
Probabilistic deep learning framework for single-cell multi-omics data analysis. Use this skill when: (1) Analyzing single-cell RNA-seq data with batch correction, (2) Integrating multi-modal data (CITE-seq, ATAC-seq, multi-omics), (3) Performing cell type annotation with scANVI, (4) Spatial transcriptomics…
optimization-loop
The optimizer brain for the ladder-foundry pretraining loop. Runs the two-level nested batch loop, delegates gating to gateeval, attributes a failing batch to one weight (attribute-first), and recovers from disk after compaction. Control flow is fully scripted; only the backprop attribution is a judgment call.
ablation-design
Design ablation studies to isolate component contributions in ML systems.
tao-generate-video-reasoning-annotations
Multi-step video annotation pipeline that turns raw videos into Chain-of-Thought training data — multi-level captions, structured descriptions, and QA pairs (MCQ, binary, open-ended) with reasoning traces, via VLM/LLM distillation. Use when the user wants to "create video training data", "generate video QA datasets"…
