ChatSpatial: Skill for Claude Code

.agents/skills/spatial-analysis/SKILL.md

spatial-analysis is a skill for Claude Code from cafferychen777/ChatSpatial. It costs 80 tokens per session (1,172 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A complete workflow for spatial transcriptomics, which measures gene activity while preserving where it occurred in a tissue. It covers data loading, quality checks, analysis, and interpretation across platforms such as Visium, Xenium, MERFISH, and Slide-seq.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to load and profile spatial datasets, examine tissue organization, choose platform-specific methods, integrate multiple samples, and answer biological questions about tissue architecture.
Why use it?
It organizes the steps needed to understand tissue structure from spatial data. It also accounts for differences between platforms and for analyses involving one or several samples.

These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →

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

spatial-analysis 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 8d 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.

Spatial Analysis

Overview

This skill guides complete spatial transcriptomics analysis from raw data to biological insights. The fundamental question: What is the spatial organization of this tissue?

Workflow Decision Tree

START: User provides spatial data
    │
    ├─ Q: What platform?
    │   ├─ Visium/Visium HD → spot-based, may have histology
    │   ├─ Xenium/MERFISH/CosMx → single-cell resolution, imaging-based
    │   ├─ Slide-seq → spot-based, no histology
    │   └─ Unknown → check adata.uns for platform info
    │
    ├─ Q: Single sample or multiple?
    │   ├─ Single → proceed to standard workflow
    │   └─ Multiple → include integration step (Harmony recommended)
    │
    └─ Execute workflow based on answers

Standard Workflow

Step 1: Data Loading and Understanding

1. Load data using load_data tool
2. Examine dataset profile:
   - n_cells, n_genes
   - Available annotations (adata.obs columns)
   - Spatial coordinates availability
   - Tissue image availability
3. Understand the biological context from user

Key questions to ask user:

  • What tissue/organ is this?
  • What is your biological question?
  • Do you have a reference dataset for cell type annotation?

Step 2: Quality Control and Preprocessing

Platform-specific QC thresholds:

| Metric | Visium | Xenium/MERFISH | Slide-seq |
|--------|--------|----------------|-----------|
| min_genes | 200 | 50 | 100 |
| min_cells | 3 | 3 | 3 |
| max_mito% | 20% | 10% | 15% |
| HVG count | 2000-3000 | 500-1000 | 1500-2000 |

Use preprocess_data tool with appropriate parameters.

Step 3: Spatial Domain Identification

Method Selection Guide:

Scenario Recommended Method Reason
Visium with histology SpaGCN Uses image features
Visium without histology STAGATE/Leiden Graph-based
Single-cell resolution GraphST Handles high resolution
Quick exploration Leiden/Louvain Fast, interpretable
Need fine structure Higher resolution (1.5-2.0) More clusters
Need broad domains Lower resolution (0.3-0.5) Fewer clusters

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.

spatial-analysis is a skill published in the GitHub repository cafferychen777/ChatSpatial (44 stars, last pushed 23d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 80 tokens to every session and 1,172 once invoked, about $0.0004 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.
