At a glance

Statial is a suite of functions for identifying changes in cell state.

  • Tasks that involve Internationalization
  • SKILL.md covers Workflows, When to Use, When NOT to Use and Data Requirements, plus 6 more sections
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md
  • Tasks that involve Bioinformatics

What it does

Bioconductor Statial is an agent skill from bioMate-AI/biomate-bioconductor-kb. Statial is a suite of functions for identifying changes in cell state. The functionality provided by Statial provides robust quantification of cell type localisation which are invariant to changes in tissue structure. In addition to this Statial uncovers changes in marker expression associated with varying levels of localisation. These features can be used to explore how the structure and function of different cell types may be altered by the agents they are surrounded with.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.5k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Frontend & Design, covering Internationalization and Bioinformatics. The repository describes itself as: BioMate-KB Bioconductor Skills — 200 packages (top 100 by downloads + 100 rising stars) as vignette-grounded Claude/agent skills, with per-package workflow recipes.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Internationalization
  • Tasks that involve Bioinformatics

Example prompts

  • “/bioconductor-statial”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit c9bd4d8. 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

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are r).

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

  • Network

    Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):

    • bioconductor.org

    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

Bioconductor Statial loads about 1.5k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 125 tokens; SKILL.md has 394 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~125
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.5k

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); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 394 words (~1,464 tokens).

“Quantify context-aware spatial relationships between cell types using hierarchies and associate them with survival outcomes.”
