lamindbManages biological datasets with LaminDB: versioned artifacts, run lineage, ontology-based annotation, schema validation and links to workflow managers and ML tools.
LaminDB is an open-source Python data framework for biology that aims to make datasets queryable, traceable, reproducible and FAIR. The skill covers its core entities (artifacts, records, runs and transforms, and typed features), tracking notebooks and scripts with `ln.track()` and `ln.finish()`, and viewing lineage graphs with `artifact.view_lineage()`.
It also covers curating and validating data against biological ontologies for genes, proteins, cell types, tissues and diseases through Bionty, building a lakehouse-style query layer across datasets, and connecting to Nextflow, Snakemake, Weights & Biases, MLflow, HuggingFace and scVI-tools. Six reference files split the material into core concepts, data management, annotation and validation, ontologies, integrations, and setup and deployment.
6 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 14680ec. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
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.
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
uvFrom the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):
docs.lamin.aigithub.comFrom URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
LaminDB Biological Data Management loads about 3.6k tokens when it runs, and up to ~22k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 165 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,207 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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.
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.

ln.finish()To start using LaminDB effectively:
Installation & Setup (references/setup-deployment.md)
lamin loginlamin init --storage ...Learn Core Concepts (references/core-concepts.md)
ln.track() and ln.finish() in workflowsMaster Querying (references/data-management.md)
Set Up Validation (references/annotation-validation.md)
Integrate Ontologies (references/ontologies.md)
Connect Tools (references/integrations.md)
Follow these principles when working with LaminDB:
Track everything: Use ln.track() at the start of every analysis for automatic lineage capture
Validate early: Define schemas and validate data before extensive analysis
Use ontologies: Leverage public biological ontologies for standardized annotations
Organize with keys: Structure artifact keys hierarchically (e.g., project/experiment/batch/file.h5ad)
Query metadata first: Filter and search before loading large files
Version, don't duplicate: Use built-in versioning instead of creating new keys for modifications
Annotate with features: Define typed features for queryable metadata
Document thoroughly: Add descriptions to artifacts, schemas, and transforms
Leverage lineage: Use view_lineage() to understand data provenance
Start local, scale cloud: Develop locally with SQLite, deploy to cloud with PostgreSQL

Run `npx skills add davila7/claude-code-templates --skill lamindb -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (cli-tool/components/skills/scientific/lamindb in davila7/claude-code-templates) into .claude/skills/lamindb in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.
Run `npx skills add davila7/claude-code-templates --skill lamindb -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (cli-tool/components/skills/scientific/lamindb in davila7/claude-code-templates) into .agents/skills/lamindb in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.
Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add davila7/claude-code-templates --skill lamindb -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/lamindb, .gemini/skills/lamindb, .github/skills/lamindb and .opencode/skills/lamindb in your project.
Going by SKILL.md and its folder, LaminDB Biological Data Management needs the command-line tools its instructions call (uv). Our summary lists: A Python environment with LaminDB; A local or cloud LaminDB instance.
SKILL.md names 2 domains. As links in the text: docs.lamin.ai and github.com. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.
Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. Review the folder before installing.
LaminDB Biological Data Management is published under the MIT licence (the repository's licence). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.
About 3.6k tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 14k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full. Its references folder adds about 19k tokens, read only when the agent opens those files.
