bio-copy-number-cnvkit-analysis

bio-copy-number-cnvkit-analysis is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from PKU-YuanGroup/OpenAI4S. It costs 152 tokens per session (4,245 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of bio-copy-number-cnvkit-analysis, MIT.

A sequencing analysis workflow for finding extra or missing DNA copies in tumor or germline samples. It uses read coverage from targeted panels, exomes, or whole genomes and compares it with a reference.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to build reference samples, normalize coverage, divide the genome into copy-number regions, and call amplifications or deletions with CNVkit.
Why use it?
It turns uneven sequencing coverage into estimated copy-number gains and losses. It does not by itself determine tumor purity, ploidy, or which allele changed.

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-copy-number-cnvkit-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 9d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/run_cnvkit.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 — 246 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Version Compatibility

Reference examples tested with: CNVkit 0.9.10+, samtools 1.19+, bedtools 2.31+, Python 3.10+, R 4.3+ with DNAcopy 1.76+.

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

  • CLI: cnvkit.py version then cnvkit.py batch --help to confirm flags
  • Python: pip show cnvkit then python3 -c "import cnvlib; help(cnvlib.read)"
  • R: packageVersion('DNAcopy') (CBS backend)

If a command throws an unrecognized-argument or AttributeError, introspect the installed version and adapt the example rather than retrying. CNVkit segmentation methods (hmm, hmm-tumor, hmm-germline) depend on pomegranate; CBS depends on Bioconductor DNAcopy.

CNVkit Copy Number Analysis

"Detect copy number variants from my exome / panel data" -> Run a read-depth pipeline: normalize on-target and off-target coverage against a reference, segment the log2-ratio profile, and call gains/losses. CNVkit is a depth-only caller — it estimates relative copy number and cannot, on its own, resolve tumor purity, ploidy, or allele-specific state. Choosing CNVkit is a decision that the experiment does not require allelic resolution.

  • CLI: cnvkit.py batch tumor.bam --normal normal.bam --targets panel.bed --fasta ref.fa
  • Python API: cnvlib.read('sample.cnr') for downstream filtering

Where CNVkit Sits — Caller Taxonomy

Caller Signal used Output Purity/ploidy aware Fails when
CNVkit Depth (on + off-target) Relative log2, threshold-called CN No (manual --purity) Sample purity < ~40%; hyper-aneuploid genome breaks median centering; balanced events invisible
GATK gCNV / somatic CNV Depth (PCA/tangent denoised) Copy-ratio segments, +/-/0 call No (somatic); ploidy prior (germline) Recurrent CNV in the PoN normalized away; ModelSegments gives no integer ASCN
ASCAT / Sequenza / FACETS Depth + B-allele frequency Integer allele-specific CN, purity, ploidy Yes (jointly fit) Near-diploid genome cannot anchor purity; low het-SNP density
ExomeDepth / GATK gCNV (cohort) Depth across a cohort Germline CN genotype Germline ploidy only < ~30-100 technically matched samples; common CNV

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.
