pathml

pathml is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from dralkh/seerai. It costs 69 tokens per session (1,514 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of pathml, MIT.

A Python toolkit for analysing whole-slide pathology images, which are very large digital scans of tissue samples. It supports image preparation, cell detection and segmentation, spatial graphs, and machine-learning workflows.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to process and tile slides, normalize H&E stains, detect and classify nuclei, build cell or tissue graphs, and analyse CODEX, Vectra, and MERFISH data.
Why use it?
It brings varied pathology image formats and analysis steps into one workflow. This helps when studying tissue structure, cell locations, stains, or multiplexed imaging data.

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

pathml 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 26d 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.

PathML

Overview

PathML is a comprehensive Python toolkit for computational pathology workflows, designed to facilitate machine learning and image analysis for whole-slide pathology images. The framework provides modular, composable tools for loading diverse slide formats, preprocessing images, constructing spatial graphs, training deep learning models, and analyzing multiparametric imaging data from technologies like CODEX and multiplex immunofluorescence.

When to Use This Skill

Apply this skill for:

  • Loading and processing whole-slide images (WSI) in various proprietary formats
  • Preprocessing H&E stained tissue images with stain normalization
  • Nucleus detection, segmentation, and classification workflows
  • Building cell and tissue graphs for spatial analysis
  • Training or deploying machine learning models (HoVer-Net, HACTNet) on pathology data
  • Analyzing multiparametric imaging (CODEX, Vectra, MERFISH) for spatial proteomics
  • Quantifying marker expression from multiplex immunofluorescence
  • Managing large-scale pathology datasets with HDF5 storage
  • Tile-based analysis and stitching operations

Core Capabilities

PathML provides six major capability areas documented in detail within reference files:

1. Image Loading & Formats

Load whole-slide images from 160+ proprietary formats including Aperio SVS, Hamamatsu NDPI, Leica SCN, Zeiss ZVI, DICOM, and OME-TIFF. PathML automatically handles vendor-specific formats and provides unified interfaces for accessing image pyramids, metadata, and regions of interest.

See: references/image_loading.md for supported formats, loading strategies, and working with different slide types.

2. Preprocessing Pipelines

Build modular preprocessing pipelines by composing transforms for image manipulation, quality control, stain normalization, tissue detection, and mask operations. PathML's Pipeline architecture enables reproducible, scalable preprocessing across large datasets.

Key transforms:

  • StainNormalizationHE - Macenko/Vahadane stain normalization
  • TissueDetectionHE, NucleusDetectionHE - Tissue/nucleus segmentation
  • MedianBlur, GaussianBlur - Noise reduction
  • LabelArtifactTileHE - Quality control for artifacts

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.
