lamindb

lamindb is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from yanjumlinnb-boop/scientific-agent-skills. It costs 56 tokens per session (3,703 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of lamindb, MIT.

A workflow guide for LaminDB, an open-source system for storing and organizing biological datasets and models. It covers searchable records, data history, validation, and standard biological labels.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to register and search datasets, track notebook and pipeline inputs and outputs, validate biological data formats, and organize collections and branches.
Why use it?
Biology projects often need to know where data came from, whether it is valid, and which analyses or models used it.

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

lamindb 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 12d 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.

LaminDB

Overview

LaminDB is an open-source, lineage-native lakehouse for biology. It makes datasets and models queryable, traceable, validated, reproducible, and FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable) while storing data in open formats across local filesystems, S3, GCS, Hugging Face, SQLite, and Postgres.

Core Value Proposition:

  • Queryability: Search and filter artifacts, records, runs, features, schemas, and collections
  • Traceability: Track inputs, outputs, parameters, source code, and environments for notebooks, scripts, functions, and pipelines
  • Validation: Curate DataFrame, AnnData, SpatialData, TileDB-SOMA, Parquet, Zarr, and other biological formats with schemas
  • FAIR Compliance: Standardize annotations with Bionty-backed ontologies and custom registries
  • Change management: Organize work with projects, branches, spaces, collections, and saved notes or plans

When to Use This Skill

Use this skill when:

  • Managing biological datasets: scRNA-seq, bulk RNA-seq, spatial transcriptomics, flow cytometry, multi-modal data, EHR data
  • Tracking computational workflows: Notebooks, scripts, functions, shell scripts, and pipeline execution (Nextflow, Snakemake, Redun)
  • Curating and validating data: Schema validation, standardization, ontology-based annotation
  • Working with biological ontologies: Genes, proteins, cell types, tissues, diseases, pathways (via Bionty)
  • Building data lakehouses: Unified query interface across multiple datasets
  • Ensuring reproducibility: Automatic versioning, lineage tracking, environment capture
  • Integrating ML pipelines: Connecting with Weights & Biases, MLflow, Hugging Face, Lightning, scVI-tools
  • Deploying data infrastructure: Setting up local or cloud-based data management systems
  • Collaborating on datasets: Sharing curated, annotated data with standardized metadata

Core Capabilities

LaminDB provides six interconnected capability areas, each documented in detail in the references folder.

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.
