performing-proteomics-quality-control

performing-proteomics-quality-control is a skill for Claude Code from MannLabs/proteomics-agent-skills. It costs 58 tokens per session (1,107 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A quality-control workflow for protein-level proteomics data, which measures the amounts of many proteins in biological samples. It filters unreliable samples and weakly supported protein features before further analysis.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to check technical replicates, detect unusual samples, remove decoy or artifact records, and filter features by evidence or missing-value completeness.
Why use it?
It helps remove outliers, measurement artifacts, and overly incomplete data that could distort later results.

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

performing-proteomics-quality-control 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.

Performing Proteomics Quality Control

Goal: Remove outlier samples and unsupported features from protein-level quantification matrices.

Context and Definitions

Key Metrics

  • Decoy prefixes: REV_, DECOY_, or boolean decoy indicator column
  • Quality Control (QC) for technical replicates: Remove technical replicates when coefficient of Variation (CV) > 20-30% or Pearson Correlation R < 0.9
  • Median absolute deviation (MAD)-based outlier detection: An observation x from a set of observations X is flagged as an outlier when |x - median(X)| > N × MAD(X), where N is a user-defined factor. MAD is calculated as the median of absolute deviations from the median: MAD(X) = median(|X - median(X)|).
  • Feature Completeness: Feature-wise fraction of samples with non-missing values.

Study Types

Type Min features/sample Completeness Intensity metric
Single-cell >500-600 proteins 10-15% Total intensity
Bulk tissue No strict minimum 50-70% Total intensity
Plasma/serum No strict minimum 20-50% Median intensity

Defaults

Parameter Default Adjust when
False discovery threshold 0.01 Standard value
MAD multiplier (N) 3 Lower (<3) strict, higher (>3) more permissive
Min unique peptides 2 >2 for validation studies
Feature Completeness Study-dependent, typically between 10% - 70% Must find a compromise between robustness and expected biological prevalence. If an effect is expected in a small subset of samples (e.g. a rare cell type) it should not be removed by feature completeness filters

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.

performing-proteomics-quality-control is a skill published in the GitHub repository MannLabs/proteomics-agent-skills (14 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 58 tokens to every session and 1,107 once invoked, about $0.0003 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.
