sc-differential-abundance

sc-differential-abundance is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from TianGzlab/OmicsClaw. It costs 68 tokens per session (1,676 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A single-cell RNA sequencing analysis that tests whether cell-type proportions or neighbourhood densities differ between experimental conditions. It compares how common cell populations or local groups are across samples.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to compare cell-type proportions, neighbourhood abundance, and condition effects across multi-sample single-cell datasets.
Why use it?
It answers whether a condition changes the makeup or abundance of cell populations, rather than only changing gene expression inside individual cells.

    Skill modifies its own code, configuration, or behavior at runtime. Self-modification enables an agent to escalate privileges, disable safety constraints, or install persistent backdoors.

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-differential-abundance 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 2 executable files (sc_differential_abundance.py, tests/test_sc_differential_abundance_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-differential-abundance

When to use

The user has a multi-sample, multi-condition scRNA AnnData and asks "Did the relative abundance of these cell states change between conditions?" — distinct from per-cell DE. Four methods:

  • milo (default) — neighbourhood-level DA, replicate-aware (pertpy).
  • sccoda — Bayesian compositional analysis with a reference cell type (pertpy).
  • simple — exploratory proportion screen, no pertpy needed.
  • proportion_test_r — base-R Monte-Carlo permutation; lollipop plots with bootstrap 95% CI.

For per-cell expression changes between conditions, use sc-de. For ranking what defines a cluster, use sc-markers.

Flow

  1. Load AnnData; validate --method, --fdr, --n-neighbors, --prop, --n-permutations.
  2. Run preflight on --condition-key, --sample-key, --cell-type-key — fail fast on missing columns or under-replication.
  3. Build the universal composition summary (counts / proportions / condition means) and save them.
  4. Dispatch to the method-specific runner (run_milo_da / run_sccoda_da / simple proportion test / R proportion test).
  5. Append method-specific summary fields to result.json (n_nhoods / n_effect_rows / n_cell_types / n_significant, plus backend for milo/sccoda).
  6. Save figures, report.md, result.json.

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.
