reading-proteomics-data

reading-proteomics-data is a skill for Claude Code from MannLabs/proteomics-agent-skills. It costs 61 tokens per session (957 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

Instructions for importing output tables from proteomics search engines, which identify proteins and peptides from mass-spectrometry data. It covers peptide-match tables and protein-by-sample matrices from tools such as DIA-NN, MaxQuant, and Spectronaut.

In plain words
What is it for?
Recognizing common search-engine file formats, mapping their columns to standard names, and loading peptide-spectrum-match or protein-group data.
Why use it?
It helps turn differently named output columns into a consistent structure and apply suitable initial filters. This makes the data ready for later protein or peptide analysis.

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

reading-proteomics-data 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.

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.

Reading Proteomics Search Engine Outputs

1. Context

Table Types

Type Format Feature level Use When
Peptide spectrum match (PSM) table Long (one row per match) Precursor, Peptides (optional), Proteins, Genes (optional) Peptide-level analysis, PTMs, custom aggregation
Protein Group (PG) matrix Wide (proteins × samples) Proteins, Genes (Optional) Protein-level analysis

Use PG matrices for protein- and gene-level analyses, if available

Engine Detection Signatures

Column Mapping References contain the mapping of search-engine columns to standardized columns. Multiple column names might map to the same standardized column name, depending on the search engine version

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.
