ChatSpatial: Skill for Claude Code

.agents/skills/cell-interaction/SKILL.md

cell-interaction is a skill for Claude Code from cafferychen777/ChatSpatial. It costs 75 tokens per session (1,129 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A bioinformatics analysis workflow for studying how cells communicate in tissue. It examines signals sent by one cell, receptors on another cell, and whether the cells are near each other.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to analyze ligand-receptor pairs, signaling pathways, and cell-to-cell interaction patterns with methods such as LIANA+, CellChat, CellPhoneDB, or FastCCC.
Why use it?
It helps turn cell-type and spatial data into likely communication pairs or signaling networks instead of inspecting each possible interaction manually.

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

cell-interaction 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 9d 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.

Cell-Cell Interaction Analysis

Overview

This skill answers: How do cells communicate with each other in this tissue?

Cell communication fundamentally requires:

  1. A sender cell expressing a ligand
  2. A receiver cell expressing a receptor
  3. Spatial proximity enabling the interaction

Prerequisites

Before running cell communication analysis:

  • Cell type annotations available (from deconvolution or direct annotation)
  • Species identified (human or mouse)
  • Biological question defined (specific pathways? global patterns?)

Method Selection

Decision Framework

Q: What level of analysis do you need?
│
├─ Ligand-receptor pairs only
│   └─ LIANA+ (Python) - Multi-method consensus, recommended default
│
├─ Signaling pathway analysis
│   └─ CellChat (R) - Pathway-level insights, communication networks
│
├─ Fast computation needed
│   └─ FastCCC (C++) - Human only, very fast
│
└─ Classic/benchmark comparison
    └─ CellPhoneDB - Original method, good for comparisons

Method Comparison

Aspect LIANA+ CellChat CellPhoneDB FastCCC
Language Python R Python C++
Speed Fast Moderate Moderate Very Fast
Output LR pairs Pathways + Networks LR pairs LR pairs
Species Human/Mouse Human/Mouse Human Human
Strength Multi-method consensus Pathway interpretation Literature standard Scale

Workflow

Step 1: Verify Cell Type Annotations

Required in adata.obs:
- Cell type column (e.g., 'cell_type', 'annotation')
- Clean labels (no "unknown", "unassigned")
- Biologically meaningful categories

Step 2: Configure Species

Species-specific databases:
- Human: liana_resource="consensus" (default)
- Mouse: liana_resource="mouseconsensus"

Step 3: Run Analysis

Use analyze_cell_communication tool with:

  • cell_type_key: Column name for cell type annotations
  • species: "human" or "mouse"
  • method: Selected from decision framework

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.
