bio-data-visualization-heatmaps-clustering

bio-data-visualization-heatmaps-clustering is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from thesecondfox/skill. It costs 57 tokens per session (1,837 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of methods for making clustered heatmaps, which use color to show values and dendrograms to group similar rows or columns.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to visualize gene-expression or distance matrices with row and column annotations in R or Python.
Why use it?
Large expression or measurement tables are hard to compare directly. Clustering groups similar genes or samples so patterns and co-expressed groups are easier to see.

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-heatmaps-clustering 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.

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

Version Compatibility

Reference examples tested with: ggplot2 3.5+, matplotlib 3.8+, pandas 2.2+, scanpy 1.10+, scipy 1.12+, seaborn 0.13+

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

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

Heatmaps and Clustering

"Create a clustered heatmap" → Visualize expression matrices or distance matrices with hierarchical clustering dendrograms.

  • R: pheatmap::pheatmap(mat), ComplexHeatmap::Heatmap(mat)
  • Python: seaborn.clustermap(df), scanpy.pl.heatmap(adata)

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.
