bio-data-visualization-circos-plots

bio-data-visualization-circos-plots is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from thesecondfox/skill. It costs 51 tokens per session (3,101 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A circular chart for genomic data, with chromosomes arranged around a circle and additional tracks or connecting lines placed inside or outside them. It can show genes, variants, copy-number changes, and relationships between genomic locations.

In plain words
What is it for?
Making publication figures or programmatic plots of chromosome layouts, genomic data tracks, variants, copy-number changes, and links between genomic regions.
Why use it?
A circular layout gives an overview of many chromosomes and long-range connections in one figure. It is useful when relationships across distant parts of a genome matter.

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-data-visualization-circos-plots 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 3d ago.

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 — 406 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Version Compatibility

Reference examples tested with: matplotlib 3.8+, numpy 1.26+, pandas 2.2+

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

  • Python: pip show <package> then help(module.function) to check signatures
  • R: packageVersion('<pkg>') then ?function_name to verify parameters
  • CLI: <tool> --version then <tool> --help to confirm flags

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

Circos Plots

"Create a circos plot" → Visualize genomic data in a circular layout showing chromosomes, links, and data tracks.

  • Python: pycircos, pyCirclize (Python circular layout)
  • R: circlize::chordDiagram(), circlize::circos.genomicTrack()

Circular genome visualizations for displaying multiple data tracks around chromosome ideograms.

Tool Options

Tool Language Best For
Circos Perl/CLI Publication-quality, complex layouts
pyCircos Python Programmatic generation, integration
circlize R Quick plots, Bioconductor integration

Circos (Original)

Installation

conda install -c bioconda circos
# Or download from http://circos.ca

Basic Configuration

Circos requires configuration files defining the plot structure.

circos.conf (main config)
# Chromosome definitions
karyotype = data/karyotype.human.hg38.txt

<ideogram>
<spacing>
default = 0.005r
</spacing>
radius = 0.90r
thickness = 20p
fill = yes
</ideogram>

<image>
dir = output
file = circos.png
png = yes
svg = yes
radius = 1500p
</image>

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.
