bio-crispr-screens-batch-correction

bio-crispr-screens-batch-correction is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from PKU-YuanGroup/OpenAI4S. It costs 185 tokens per session (3,969 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of bio-crispr-screens-batch-correction, MIT.

A statistical workflow for correcting batch effects in CRISPR screens. A batch effect is a technical difference between experiments, such as separate sequencing runs or infection days, that can look like a biological result.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to diagnose batch sources, apply methods such as ComBat, RUV, or SVA, normalise against control guides, or include batch as a model variable.
Why use it?
It helps prevent technical variation from being mistaken for a gene effect while preserving real differences between experimental conditions.

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-crispr-screens-batch-correction 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.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/batch_correct.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.

This is a copy

98% identical to bio-crispr-screens-batch-correction — 12 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 290 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Version Compatibility

Reference examples tested with: pyComBat 0.3.3+ (epigenelabs/pyComBat), MAGeCK 0.5.9+, R/limma 3.58+, sva 3.50+, RUVSeq 1.36+, pandas 2.2+, numpy 1.26+, scikit-learn 1.4+, scipy 1.12+.

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

  • Python: pip show combat; from combat.pycombat import pycombat
  • R: packageVersion('sva'); ?ComBat; packageVersion('RUVSeq'); ?RUVg

If code throws ImportError, AttributeError, or TypeError, introspect the installed package and adapt the example to match the actual API rather than retrying.

Batch Correction for CRISPR Screens

"Correct batch effects in my CRISPR screens" -> Diagnose the batch source, decide whether to remove via empirical-Bayes (ComBat), explicit covariate modeling (MAGeCK MLE / Chronos design matrix), control-guide-anchored normalization, or unwanted-variation decomposition (RUV, SVA), then apply only the correction that preserves biological condition signal.

  • Python: pyComBat.pycombat for empirical-Bayes correction
  • Python: explicit batch covariates in mageck mle --design-matrix
  • R: sva::ComBat, RUVSeq::RUVg, limma::removeBatchEffect
  • Python: Chronos (crispr_chronos) natively handles screen-batch covariates

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.
