spatial-transcriptomics

spatial-transcriptomics is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from zamushwani/biomedical-ai-skills. It costs 0 tokens per session (11,824 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for processing and analysing spatial transcriptomics data, which records gene activity together with where it was measured in tissue. It covers sequencing-based and imaging-based platforms, using Python and R tools.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to process Visium, Slide-seq, Stereo-seq, Xenium, MERSCOPE, or CosMx data, detect quality problems, find spatially variable genes, and convert between spatial data formats.
Why use it?
It helps choose suitable loading, quality-control, normalization, and analysis steps for different spatial data formats and measurement scales.

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-transcriptomics 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 9d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 4 executable files (tests/run_all.py, tests/validate_loading.py, tests/validate_neighbors.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.

Spatial Transcriptomics

Processing and analysis of spatially resolved transcriptomics across sequencing-based (Visium, Visium HD, Slide-seq, Stereo-seq) and imaging-based (Xenium, MERSCOPE, CosMx) platforms. Covers loading, QC, normalization, and spatially variable gene detection. Dual-language: Python (squidpy/SpatialData) and R (SpatialExperiment/Seurat v5).

When to Use This Skill

Activate when the user requests:

  • Visium or Visium HD data loading and quality control
  • Xenium, MERSCOPE, CosMx, or Stereo-seq processing
  • Spatial quality control and artifact detection
  • Spatially variable gene (SVG) detection
  • Spatial autocorrelation (Moran's I, Geary's C)
  • Conversion between spatial data containers
  • Any analysis where transcript measurements carry coordinates

Platform Types

The single most important distinction. It determines every downstream choice.

Sequencing-based (spot/bin resolution, whole transcriptome):
  Visium        55 um spots, ~1-10 cells per spot, ~18k genes
  Visium HD     2 um bins (binned to 8/16 um), subcellular grid, whole transcriptome
  Slide-seq V2  10 um beads
  Stereo-seq    220 nm DNB, binned
  -> Spots mix cell types. You need DECONVOLUTION.

Imaging-based (single-cell/subcellular, targeted panel):
  Xenium        ~5k genes max (Prime 5K), segmented cells
  MERSCOPE      ~500-1000 genes
  CosMx         ~1000-6000 genes
  -> Cells are already segmented. You need CELL TYPING, not deconvolution.
     Segmentation quality is the dominant error source.

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-transcriptomics is a skill published in the GitHub repository zamushwani/biomedical-ai-skills (1 stars, last pushed 10d ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 11,824 tokens. 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 2026-08-31.
