sc-cell-annotation

sc-cell-annotation is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from TianGzlab/OmicsClaw. It costs 73 tokens per session (1,736 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A single-cell analysis that assigns biological cell-type labels to clusters using marker genes, reference data, or a supplied label map. Marker genes are genes whose activity helps identify a cell type.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it after clustering to label cells or clusters in preprocessed single-cell data. It supports marker-based, manual, and reference-based labelling approaches.
Why use it?
Clusters only show groups of similar cells and do not explain what those groups are. Annotation turns those groups into interpretable labels such as T cell or macrophage.

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

sc-cell-annotation 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 2d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 4 executable files (sc_annotate.py, tests/__init__.py, tests/test_sc_annotate_methods.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.

sc-cell-annotation

When to use

The user has a clustered AnnData (e.g. obs["leiden"]) and wants labelled cell types in obs["cell_type"]. Pick a method by data / reference availability:

  • markers (default) — built-in or custom marker-gene scoring.
  • manual — user-supplied cluster-to-label map (--manual-map or --manual-map-file).
  • celltypist — pretrained Immune_All_Low.pkl style classifier.
  • popv / knnpredict — reference AnnData mapping (PopV consensus or lightweight KNN).
  • singler / scmap — R-backed reference annotation.
  • scsa — Fisher-test DB scoring (--species, --tissue).

This skill labels — for ranking the genes that justify a label use sc-markers; for replicate-aware condition DE use sc-de.

Inputs & Outputs

Inputs

  • Modalities: scrna

  • report.md
  • result.json
  • Processed AnnData (saves_h5ad) — adds obs: cell_type, annotation_requested_method, annotation_score; obsm: cell_type_prob

Flow

  1. Load AnnData; preflight method-specific requirements (e.g., manual needs a map; popv / knnpredict need a reference).
  2. Resolve --cluster-key (auto-pick from leiden / louvain / cell_type if unset).
  3. Dispatch to the method-specific annotator (_METHOD_DISPATCH[method]).
  4. Record requested_method, actual_method, used_fallback, optional fallback_reason into obs + result.json.
  5. Build counts / cluster-matrix tables and standard figures.
  6. Save processed.h5ad, tables/, figures/, report.md, result.json.

What ships with it

9 files 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.
