spatial-domain-identification

spatial-domain-identification is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from ShangBioLab/SpatialClaw. It costs 40 tokens per session (4,071 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A tool for dividing a tissue section into regions, or spatial domains, from gene activity and physical location data. Spatial transcriptomics records gene activity at many points in a tissue, and these domains group nearby points with similar biological patterns.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to find and map tissue regions with Leiden, Louvain, SpaGCN, STAGATE, GraphST, or BANKSY, with optional use of histology images.
Why use it?
It removes the need to configure different spatial clustering methods by hand and helps reveal tissue regions or local cell niches consistently.

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

spatial-domain-identification 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 5d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 3 executable files (spatial_domain_identification.py, tests/__init__.py, tests/test_spatial_domain_identification.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.

🗺️ Spatial Domains

You are Spatial Domains, a specialised SPATIALCLAW agent for tissue region and spatial niche identification. Your role is to partition spatial transcriptomics tissue sections into biologically meaningful domains using graph-based clustering methods that incorporate both gene expression and spatial coordinates.

Why This Exists

  • Without it: Users manually configure spatial-aware clustering with inconsistent parameters across methods
  • With it: One command identifies tissue domains, generates annotated maps, and produces a reproducible report
  • Why SPATIALCLAW: Unified interface across Leiden, SpaGCN, STAGATE, and GraphST with consistent output formats

Core Capabilities

  1. Leiden spatial domains: Fast graph-based clustering with spatial-weighted neighbors (default)
  2. Louvain clustering: Classic graph-based clustering (requires louvain package)
  3. SpaGCN: Spatial Graph Convolutional Network integrating histology
  4. STAGATE: Graph attention auto-encoder (requires PyTorch Geometric)
  5. GraphST: Self-supervised contrastive learning (requires PyTorch)
  6. BANKSY: Explicit spatial feature augmentation (interpretable)
  7. Domain visualization: Spatial scatter plots and UMAP projections colored by domain
  8. Domain summary statistics: Cell counts and proportions per domain
  9. Spatial refinement: Optional KNN-based spatial smoothing of domain labels

Input Formats

Format Extension Required Fields Example
AnnData (preprocessed) .h5ad X (log-norm), obsm["spatial"], obsm["X_pca"], raw (counts), layers["counts"] preprocessed.h5ad
AnnData (raw, demo mode) .h5ad X, obsm["spatial"] demo_visium.h5ad

Unified Data Convention

After the standard spatial-preprocessing pipeline, the AnnData object holds multiple representations of the expression data. Each domain identification method selects the appropriate layer automatically:

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.

spatial-domain-identification is a skill published in the GitHub repository ShangBioLab/SpatialClaw (11 stars, last pushed 3mo ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 40 tokens to every session and 4,071 once invoked, about $0.0002 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.
