bio-causal-genomics-genomic-sem

bio-causal-genomics-genomic-sem is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from GPTomics/bioSkills. It costs 162 tokens per session (8,671 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A research workflow that models shared hidden genetic factors across several related GWAS results. A structural equation model is a statistical model that represents relationships among measured traits and underlying factors.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for common-factor and confirmatory models, exploratory models, factor-based GWAS, multivariate tests, and heritability partitioning by annotation.
Why use it?
It helps analyse genetic relationships among correlated traits in a single model and test whether results fit common genetic factors.

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-causal-genomics-genomic-sem 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 1 executable file (examples/mtag_pipeline.sh), 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 492 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Version Compatibility

Reference examples tested with: GenomicSEM 0.0.5+ (GitHub GenomicSEM/GenomicSEM), lavaan 0.6-17+, LDSC v1.0.1+ (Python 3; prefer abdenlab/ldsc-python3 v2.0.0 -- belowlab/ldsc v3.0.1 README states the CLI is broken; Docker jtb114/ldsc:latest is the belowlab fallback), baselineLD_v2.2 annotations (alkesgroup.broadinstitute.org/LDSCORE), MTAG 1.0.8+ (Python; JonJala/mtag), R 4.4+.

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

  • R: packageVersion('GenomicSEM') then ?ldsc, ?commonfactor, ?usermodel, ?commonfactorGWAS
  • Python (LDSC, MTAG): <tool>.py -h and inspect the source under ldsc/ or mtag/

GenomicSEM is GitHub-only (never on CRAN). If ldsc() or usermodel() throws an error about lavaan syntax or non-positive-definite covariance, introspect the installed API (getMethod('ldsc')) and adapt rather than retrying.

Genomic SEM

"Model the latent genetic architecture across several correlated GWAS" -> Treat each GWAS as a measured indicator of one or more latent genetic factors and fit a structural equation model to the LDSC-derived genetic covariance matrix S and its sampling covariance V (Grotzinger 2019 Nat Hum Behav 3:513). The framework extends naturally to a multivariate GWAS in which a SNP is regressed on a latent factor (common-factor GWAS), with Q_SNP testing whether the SNP effect is homogeneous across factor loadings. Sample overlap between input GWAS is absorbed by the off-diagonals of V; ignoring V inflates Type-I.

  • R: GenomicSEM::ldsc() produces the (S, V) covariance pair from munged sumstats
  • R: GenomicSEM::commonfactor() fits a single-factor CFA across all traits in S
  • R: GenomicSEM::usermodel() fits an arbitrary lavaan-syntax model
  • R: GenomicSEM::commonfactorGWAS() runs SNP -> factor multivariate GWAS with Q_SNP
  • R: GenomicSEM::userGWAS() runs arbitrary multivariate SNP regression with per-path Q_SNP
  • Python (alternative): mtag.py --sumstats t1,t2,t3 --out mtag_out (multi-trait power boost on individual traits)

What ships with it

3 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.

bio-causal-genomics-genomic-sem is a skill published in the GitHub repository GPTomics/bioSkills (1,199 stars, last pushed 23d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 162 tokens to every session and 8,671 once invoked, about $0.0008 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.
