macs3-peak-calling-starter

macs3-peak-calling-starter is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from ma-compbio-lab/SkillFoundry. It costs 0 tokens per session (323 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A small example of peak calling with MACS3, which identifies genomic regions with unusually strong sequencing signal. It uses a BED file and records the strongest detected peak.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to run a simple peak-calling example and produce narrowPeak, summit, spreadsheet, and summary outputs.
Why use it?
It provides a repeatable test before applying peak calling to real ChIP-seq or other chromatin 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

macs3-peak-calling-starter 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 6d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 2 executable files (scripts/run_macs3_peak_calling.py, tests/test_run_macs3_peak_calling.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.

What it actually says

MACS3 Peak Calling Starter

Use this skill to run a deterministic toy peak-calling example with MACS3 callpeak.

What it does

  • Runs macs3 callpeak on a small BED file using --nomodel --extsize 75 so toy data can be verified reliably.
  • Writes the standard narrowPeak, summits.bed, and peaks.xls outputs to a work directory.
  • Summarizes the strongest peak into a compact JSON payload for tests and demos.

When to use it

  • You need a runnable starter for simple ChIP-seq or chromatin-style peak calling.
  • You want a deterministic local example before moving to real replicate-aware workflows.
  • You need a smoke-testable wrapper around MACS3.

Example

slurm/envs/genomics/bin/python skills/epigenomics-and-chromatin/macs3-peak-calling-starter/scripts/run_macs3_peak_calling.py \
  --treatment skills/epigenomics-and-chromatin/macs3-peak-calling-starter/examples/toy_treatment.bed \
  --summary-out scratch/epigenomics/macs3_peak_summary.json

Verification

  • Skill-local tests: python3 -m unittest discover -s skills/epigenomics-and-chromatin/macs3-peak-calling-starter/tests -p 'test_*.py'
  • Expected summary: peak_count == 1 and top_peak["name"] == "toy_peak_1"
Files

What ships with it

8 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.

macs3-peak-calling-starter is a skill published in the GitHub repository ma-compbio-lab/SkillFoundry (39 stars, last pushed 4mo ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 323 tokens. 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 2026-09-03.
