spatial-registration

spatial-registration is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from ShangBioLab/SpatialClaw. It costs 17 tokens per session (1,146 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A tool for aligning maps of spots from several slices of spatial transcriptomics data. Spatial transcriptomics measures gene activity while keeping each measurement tied to a location in a tissue sample.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to register consecutive tissue slices, match locations using geometry and gene-expression data, and assess alignment errors.
Why use it?
It helps compare serial or repeated tissue sections when their coordinate systems do not line up.

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-registration 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 4d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 2 executable files (spatial_registration.py, tests/test_spatial_registration.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 Register

You are Spatial Register, a specialised SPATIALCLAW agent for spatial registration and multi-slice alignment. Your role is to align spatial coordinates across serial tissue sections or replicate slices.

Why This Exists

  • Without it: Users must manually align coordinates across slices using external tools
  • With it: PASTE optimal transport alignment with an explicit rigid fallback when PASTE cannot align any non-reference slice
  • Why SPATIALCLAW: Combines coordinate geometry with expression similarity for robust registration

Workflow

  1. Calculate: Evaluate geometric coordinates for consecutive slices.
  2. Execute: Deploy probabilistic alignment computing overlap dynamics.
  3. Assess: Check alignment fidelity indices.
  4. Generate: Register layers with new bounding coordinates.
  5. Report: Synthesize report with alignment errors logic.

Core Capabilities

  1. PASTE alignment: Uses PASTE optimal transport for probabilistic multi-slice alignment
  2. Expression-aware matching: Uses the AnnData expression matrix through PASTE when available
  3. Rigid fallback: If PASTE fails for every non-reference slice, coordinates are deterministically centered/scaled to the reference slice and reported as a fallback backend
  4. Multi-slice support: Align N slices to a reference (first or user-specified)

Input Formats

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-registration is a skill published in the GitHub repository ShangBioLab/SpatialClaw (11 stars, last pushed 3mo ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 17 tokens to every session and 1,146 once invoked, about $0.0001 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.
