bio-causal-genomics-mediation-analysis

bio-causal-genomics-mediation-analysis is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from PKU-YuanGroup/OpenAI4S. It costs 116 tokens per session (9,023 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of bio-causal-genomics-mediation-analysis, MIT.

A guide to mediation analysis, a statistical method for separating a total effect into direct and indirect paths through intermediate variables. It focuses on molecular data such as gene expression, methylation, and protein levels.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to plan or implement mediation analyses with methods such as CMAverse, HIMA, BAMA, Mendelian-randomization mediation, or double-machine-learning approaches in R.
Why use it?
It helps investigate whether an intermediate biological measurement explains part of the relationship between a treatment and an outcome.

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-mediation-analysis 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 13d 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.

Origin

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 477 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Version Compatibility

Reference examples tested with: R 4.3+, mediation 4.5.0+, CMAverse 0.1.0+ (GitHub BS1125/CMAverse), HIMA >= 2.3.0 (GitHub YinanZheng/HIMA; archived from CRAN 2026-07), bama 1.3+, causalweight 1.0.5+ (medDML), MVMR 0.4+, TwoSampleMR 0.6+, EValue 4.1+, gesttools 1.3+, ipw 1.0.11+.

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

  • R: packageVersion('<pkg>') then ?function_name to verify parameters
  • HIMA must be pinned at >= 2.3.0 for the code patterns below; the formula interface hima(formula, data.pheno, data.M, mediator.type, penalty, ...) was introduced in 2.3.0. On HIMA 2.2.x the classic engine is the top-level hima(X, Y, M, COV.XM=, COV.MY=, Y.family=, penalty=) (positional order X, Y, M) with no formula interface; HIMA 2.2.x is NOT API-compatible with the examples here.
  • In 2.3+ the classic engine is hima_classic(X, M, Y, COV.XM=, COV.MY=, Y.type=) (positional order X, M, Y; outcome type via Y.type, not Y.family); use it only to reproduce the original 2016-2021 SIS+penalty pipelines.

If code throws an error, introspect the installed package (?hima, args(cmest)) and adapt the example to match the actual API rather than retrying.

Mediation Analysis

"Does expression of GENE_X mediate the SNP-to-disease effect?" -> Decompose the total effect of a treatment (genotype, exposure) on an outcome into direct and indirect paths through one or more mediators, with explicit handling of exposure-mediator interaction, sensitivity to unmeasured confounding, and high-dimensional mediator screening.

  • R (single-mediator, observational, sequential-ignorability assumed): mediation::mediate(med_model, out_model, treat='X', mediator='M', boot=TRUE, sims=5000)
  • R (4-way decomposition with exposure-mediator interaction): CMAverse::cmest(...EMint=TRUE, estimation='paramfunc', inference='bootstrap', nboot=1000)
  • R (high-dimensional / EWAS mediators): HIMA::hima(Y ~ X + covariates, data.pheno, data.M, mediator.type='gaussian', penalty='DBlasso') (modern v2.3+ formula interface)
  • R (MR-based mediation): two-step TwoSampleMR with independent instruments OR MVMR::ivw_mvmr for joint direct effect
  • R (doubly-robust double-ML): causalweight::medDML(y, d, m, x)

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.
