sc-pseudotime

sc-pseudotime is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from TianGzlab/OmicsClaw. It costs 72 tokens per session (2,019 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A tool that orders cells along a possible biological trajectory using a value called pseudotime. Pseudotime is an inferred progression, such as cells developing from an early state to a later one, not a clock measurement.

In plain words
What is it for?
Building trajectory orderings, lineage curves, and fate-probability summaries from clustered, normalised single-cell data.
Why use it?
It helps study gradual state changes and branching lineages when cells were measured at one point rather than followed over time.

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-pseudotime 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 (sc_pseudotime.py, tests/test_sc_pseudotime_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-pseudotime

When to use

The user has a clustered, normalised scRNA AnnData and wants a trajectory / pseudotime ordering across the cells. Six methods:

  • dpt (default) — diffusion pseudotime (Scanpy native).
  • palantir — Palantir waypoint-based pseudotime + fate probabilities.
  • via — VIA, scalable lineage with branching.
  • cellrank — CellRank macrostates + fate probabilities (optionally velocity-coupled with --cellrank-use-velocity).
  • slingshot_r — R-backed Slingshot lineage curves.
  • monocle3_r — R-backed Monocle3 trajectory graph.

Required: a normalised AnnData with a cluster column (leiden by default) and a low-D representation (obsm["X_pca"] / X_harmony / etc.). For per-cluster marker ranking use sc-markers; for velocity vector fields (kinetics, not ordering) use sc-velocity.

  • input.h5ad
  • processed.h5ad
  • report.md
  • result.json
  • Processed AnnData (saves_h5ad) — adds obs: pseudotime; obsm: trajectory_fate_probabilities

Flow

  1. Load AnnData (--input) or auto-build a demo with the largest cluster as the root.
  2. Validate cluster_key exists; require X = normalized_expression.
  3. Resolve representation (--use-rep) — auto-pick from obsm if unset.
  4. Resolve root cell from --root-cluster or --root-cell (integer index or obs_name).
  5. Dispatch to the method-specific runner; the R-backed methods exec via RScriptRunner against the bundled R scripts.
  6. Build trajectory-gene correlations (--n-genes, --corr-method).
  7. Save processed.h5ad, tables, figures, report.md, result.json (incl. backend, n_clusters, n_trajectory_genes).

What ships with it

7 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.
