spatial-microenvironment-subset

spatial-microenvironment-subset is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from TianGzlab/OmicsClaw. It costs 66 tokens per session (1,023 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A spatial transcriptomics tool that extracts a local microenvironment around selected centre cells or spots. It keeps the centres and every nearby location within a chosen radius.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it with labelled Visium or Xenium data to select a niche around a cell type or tissue-domain label and save a smaller AnnData dataset.
Why use it?
It lets you study a focused neighbourhood instead of analysing the whole tissue at once.

These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →

    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.
    Fix: Prevent the skill from modifying its own code, SKILL.md, or configuration files. Treat skill files as read-only at runtime.

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

spatial-microenvironment-subset 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 14d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 5 executable files (_api.py, examples/example_step.py, spatial_microenvironment_subset.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.

When to use

Extract centers and nearby observations. Use spatial-domains for global regions and spatial-condition for condition comparisons.

Use from a step

from skills._sdk.notebook import load_skill, read_input, write_output
library = load_skill("spatial-microenvironment-subset")
data = read_input("input.h5ad")
data = library.subset(data, center_key="cell_type", center_values=["Tumor"], radius_native=50)
write_output(library.selection_table(data), "tables/results.csv")

Run examples/example_step.py through the step runner.

API

subset(adata, *, center_values: list[str], center_key: str | None=None, radius_native: float | None=None, radius_microns: float | None=None, microns_per_coordinate_unit: float | None=None, data_type: str | None=None, include_centers: bool=True, target_key: str | None=None, target_values: list[str] | None=None)

Return a new neighborhood AnnData; expression matrices remain unchanged.

:param adata: Labelled AnnData with spatial coordinates; X, layers and raw are sliced. :param center_values: Labels defining centers, required as in the CLI. :param center_key: Label column; None selects the first recognized label column. :param radius_native: Positive coordinate-unit radius; default None requires radius_microns. :param radius_microns: Positive micron radius, exclusive with radius_native. :param microns_per_coordinate_unit: Explicit positive scale; None uses platform metadata. :param data_type: Optional platform hint used to resolve units, as in the CLI. :param include_centers: True retains centers regardless of the target-label filter. :param target_key: Optional neighbor label column; None uses the center column. :param target_values: Optional allowed neighbor labels; None admits all labels. :returns: A new AnnData with role, distance and JSON diagnostics. :raises ValueError: Invalid radius, labels, units, coordinates or an empty selection.

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.

spatial-microenvironment-subset is a skill published in the GitHub repository TianGzlab/OmicsClaw (161 stars, last pushed 14d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 66 tokens to every session and 1,023 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-03.
