bio-atac-seq-atac-qc

bio-atac-seq-atac-qc is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from GPTomics/bioSkills. It costs 96 tokens per session (5,340 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

Quality-control checks for ATAC-seq libraries, which are experiments that measure open chromatin. It measures signals such as transcription-start-site enrichment, the fraction of reads in called peaks, fragment-size patterns, library complexity, and mitochondrial reads.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to assess libraries, diagnose transposition and sequencing problems, compare experimental protocols, and create quality-control summaries across samples.
Why use it?
It helps show whether an ATAC-seq library is usable and whether technical problems may have distorted the data. The results can be compared with ENCODE acceptance thresholds.

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

bio-atac-seq-atac-qc 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 338 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Version Compatibility

Reference examples tested with: deepTools 3.5+, Picard 3.1+, samtools 1.19+, bedtools 2.31+, ATACseqQC 1.26+, pysam 0.22+, pyBigWig 0.3+, numpy 1.26+, pandas 2.2+, MultiQC 1.21+.

Before using code patterns, verify installed versions match. If versions differ:

  • Python: pip show <package> then help(module.function) to check signatures
  • R: packageVersion('<pkg>') then ?function_name to verify parameters
  • CLI: <tool> --version then <tool> --help to confirm flags

If code throws ImportError, AttributeError, or TypeError, introspect the installed package and adapt.

ATAC-seq Quality Control

"Does my ATAC library pass ENCODE quality criteria?" -> Compute the seven canonical metrics (depth, alignment rate, mitochondrial fraction, library complexity, fragment-size periodicity, TSS enrichment, FRiP) and compare against ENCODE 4 thresholds, then diagnose failures.

  • CLI: picard CollectInsertSizeMetrics, samtools flagstat, samtools idxstats
  • CLI: deeptools plotFingerprint, computeMatrix reference-point + plotProfile
  • R: ATACseqQC::TSSEscore, ATACseqQC::fragSizeDist, ATACseqQC::PTscore
  • Python: custom NRF/PBC from coordinate hash; pyBigWig for TSS enrichment

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.
