spatial-histology

spatial-histology is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from ShangBioLab/SpatialClaw. It costs 30 tokens per session (327 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A Python API for analysing tissue images alongside spatial transcriptomics data. It supports finding tissue areas, nuclei, cells, and image patches.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for tissue segmentation with Otsu or watershed, nucleus or cell detection with optional Cellpose or StarDist, and patch-level image analysis.
Why use it?
It gathers common histology image tasks in one reusable interface for spatial biology workflows instead of requiring separate image-processing code for each task.

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-histology 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 6d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (spatial_histology.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.

What it actually says

Spatial Histology

Spatial Histology provides downstream image analysis for spatial transcriptomics and spatial pathology datasets. It wraps reusable functions from skills.spatial._lib.histology.

Interface

Python API only. This skill is intentionally not registered for spatialclaw run or other CLI execution routing.

Python API

from skills.spatial._lib.histology import run_histology

result = run_histology(image, task="tissue_segmentation", method="otsu")

Capabilities

  • Tissue segmentation with Otsu or watershed methods.
  • Nucleus detection with optional Cellpose or StarDist backends.
  • Cell segmentation with optional Cellpose-compatible backends.
  • Patch-level histology analysis for downstream spatial workflows.

Validation

Covered by tests/spatial/test_library_only_skills.py::test_spatial_histology_smoke.

Files

What ships with it

1 file beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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-histology is a skill published in the GitHub repository ShangBioLab/SpatialClaw (11 stars, last pushed 3mo ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 30 tokens to every session and 327 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.
