What it does

Hierarchical Clustering Plot is an agent skill from aipoch/medical-research-skills. Use when building a sample-level hierarchical clustering dendrogram from a bulk expression matrix and sample annotation table, especially for QC, batch inspection, or sample similarity assessment. Trigger keywords: hierarchical clustering, dendrogram, sample QC, batch inspection, sample similarity. NOT for: differential expression testing, gene clustering heatmaps, single-cell clustering workflows.

Its SKILL.md is about 3.1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 22 other files, including scripts and reference files (for example `eval_report_hierarchical-clustering-plot_result.json`, `references/algorithm.md` and `references/cli-guide.md`).

It sits in Research & Science, covering Bioinformatics. The repository describes itself as: Hundreds of agent skills for medical research, including protocol design, data analysis, evidence insights, and academic writing. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Building a sample-level hierarchical clustering dendrogram from a bulk expression matrix and sample annotation table
  • Especially for QC
  • Batch inspection
  • Sample similarity assessment

Example prompts

  • “/hierarchical-clustering-plot”

Workflow steps

4 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Validate Input
  2. Align Samples
  3. Build Hierarchical Clustering
  4. Save Outputs

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 686e09d. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Ships 8 files in scripts/ (R, from the files we listed), which the agent can run.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Hierarchical Clustering Plot loads about 3.1k tokens when it runs, and up to ~6.3k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 108 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,144 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~108
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~3.1k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~6.3k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

Workflow

Step 1: Validate Input

WHEN checking file or parameter validation, READ: scripts/validation_utils.R

WHEN checking expression/group CSV handling, READ: scripts/input_functions.R

  • Check file existence
  • Reject empty files before parsing
  • Read the expression matrix and sample annotation CSV files
  • Validate required columns, unique IDs, and numeric expression values
Step 2: Align Samples

WHEN checking sample matching logic, READ: scripts/input_functions.R

  • Match sample IDs between the annotation file and expression matrix
  • Reorder matrix columns to the annotation file order
  • Select the label column used for plotting
Step 3: Build Hierarchical Clustering

WHEN interpreting distance or linkage behavior, READ: references/algorithm.md

WHEN checking clustering implementation, READ: scripts/clustering_functions.R

  • Transpose the expression matrix to sample-by-feature form
  • Compute pairwise sample distances with dist()
  • Build the dendrogram with hclust()
Show full SKILL.md (469 more words)Show less
Step 4: Save Outputs

WHEN checking output staging and cleanup behavior, READ: scripts/run_analysis.R

WHEN checking PDF/CSV export behavior, READ: scripts/output_utils.R

WHEN checking timeout, session info, or final file copy behavior, READ: scripts/runtime_utils.R

  • Stage outputs in a temporary workspace
  • Export the pairwise distance matrix
  • Export the plotted leaf order
  • Render the dendrogram as PDF
  • Copy finalized outputs into the requested output directory

Methods

Distance Matrix

Sample distances are computed from the transposed expression matrix using base R dist().

Hierarchical Clustering

The clustering tree is built with base R hclust(). The default linkage method is complete, matching the source analysis script.
