pacsomatic

pacsomatic is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from dralkh/iktinah. It costs 103 tokens per session (1,213 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of pacsomatic, MIT.

A helper workflow for nf-core/pacsomatic, a Nextflow pipeline that analyses matched tumour and normal samples from BAM sequencing files.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to validate files, create samplesheets and parameter files, generate launch scripts, run locally, submit to LSF, Slurm, PBS, or SGE, and inspect failures.
Why use it?
It checks inputs and creates repeatable run files, reducing errors when preparing or restarting genomic analyses on a computer or cluster.

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

pacsomatic 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.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 2 executable files (scripts/run_pacsomatic.py, tests/test_run_pacsomatic.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.

pacsomatic

Overview

This skill provides a reproducible execution workflow for nf-core/pacsomatic, centered on a single helper entrypoint that handles validation, artifact generation, and optional execution.

Primary entrypoint:

  • scripts/run_pacsomatic.py

The helper script:

  • validates required identifiers, files, reference mode, and runtime prerequisites
  • writes a pacsomatic-compatible samplesheet (patient,sample,status,bam,pbi)
  • generates a params YAML and launch script for reproducible reruns
  • supports dry-run validation and run/submit execution paths

Use this skill as the default path for pacsomatic operations. Do not bypass it with manually assembled nextflow run nf-core/pacsomatic commands unless the user explicitly asks for manual command construction.

When to Use This Skill

Invoke this skill when the user asks to:

  • run matched tumor-normal analysis from BAM files
  • generate or fix pacsomatic samplesheet and launch artifacts
  • execute locally or submit to schedulers (LSF/Slurm/PBS/SGE)
  • perform dry-run validation before execution
  • troubleshoot launch failures or summarize run outputs

Do not use this skill for:

  • deep biological interpretation beyond run-level sanity checks
  • editing pipeline internals unless explicitly requested

Typical trigger phrases:

  • "run nf-core/pacsomatic for this tumor-normal pair"
  • "prepare pacsomatic samplesheet and launch script"
  • "do a dry run first and tell me what is missing"
  • "submit pacsomatic to slurm/lsf and return the job id"
  • "why did pacsomatic submission fail"

Routing and Execution Rules

  1. Always collect required run inputs first.
  2. Always route through scripts/run_pacsomatic.py for validation and artifact generation.
  3. Default to --dry-run when the user asks for checks/validation only.
  4. Use --run only when the user asks to execute/submit.
  5. For scheduler modes, include executor-specific resource arguments and return detected job ID when available.
  6. If execution fails, report first failure point and next triage target (.nextflow.log, pipeline_info, failing task logs).

Changes

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.

pacsomatic is a skill published in the GitHub repository dralkh/iktinah (77 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 103 tokens to every session and 1,213 once invoked, about $0.0005 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. It is 100% identical to pacsomatic, differing in 8 lines, and is treated as a copy.
