What it does

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.

When your agent uses it

  • Recording which code and inputs produced a dataset in a biology project
  • Validating single-cell data against gene or cell type ontologies
  • Versioning and annotating AnnData or Parquet artifacts with typed features
  • Setting up a local or cloud LaminDB instance for a lab

Example prompts

  • “Track this notebook with LaminDB and register the output AnnData file as a versioned artifact.”
  • “Validate the cell type column in my dataset against the Bionty ontology and list the terms that fail.”
  • “Show the lineage graph for the artifact we saved after the clustering step.”

Requirements

  • A Python environment with LaminDB
  • A local or cloud LaminDB instance

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 14680ec. 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

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • uv

    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):

    • docs.lamin.ai
    • github.com

    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

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.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~165
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~3.6k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~22k

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.

description
This skill should be used when working with LaminDB, an open-source data framework for biology that makes data queryable, traceable, reproducible, and FAIR. Use when managing biological datasets (scRNA-seq, spatial, flow cytometry, etc.), tracking computational workflows, curating and validating data with biological ontologies, building data lakehouses, or ensuring data lineage and reproducibility in biological research. Covers data management, annotation, ontologies (genes, cell types, diseases, tissues), schema validation, integrations with workflow managers (Nextflow, Snakemake) and MLOps platforms (W&B, MLflow), and deployment strategies.

LaminDB

Overview

LaminDB is an open-source data framework for biology designed to make data queryable, traceable, reproducible, and FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable). It provides a unified platform that combines lakehouse architecture, lineage tracking, feature stores, biological ontologies, LIMS (Laboratory Information Management System), and ELN (Electronic Lab Notebook) capabilities through a single Python API.

Core Value Proposition:

  • Queryability: Search and filter datasets by metadata, features, and ontology terms
  • Traceability: Automatic lineage tracking from raw data through analysis to results
  • Reproducibility: Version control for data, code, and environment
  • FAIR Compliance: Standardized annotations using biological ontologies

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, 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, HuggingFace, 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.

1. Core Concepts and Data Lineage

Core entities:

  • Artifacts: Versioned datasets (DataFrame, AnnData, Parquet, Zarr, etc.)
  • Records: Experimental entities (samples, perturbations, instruments)
  • Runs & Transforms: Computational lineage tracking (what code produced what data)
  • Features: Typed metadata fields for annotation and querying

Key workflows:

  • Create and version artifacts from files or Python objects
  • Track notebook/script execution with ln.track() and ln.finish()
  • Annotate artifacts with typed features
  • Visualize data lineage graphs with artifact.view_lineage()
  • Query by provenance (find all outputs from specific code/inputs)

Reference: references/core-concepts.md - Read this for detailed information on artifacts, records, runs, transforms, features, versioning, and lineage tracking.

2. Data Management and Querying

Query capabilities:

  • Registry exploration and lookup with auto-complete
  • Single record retrieval with get(), one(), one_or_none()
  • Filtering with comparison operators (__gt, __lte, __contains, __startswith)
  • Feature-based queries (query by annotated metadata)
  • Cross-registry traversal with double-underscore syntax
  • Full-text search across registries
  • Advanced logical queries with Q objects (AND, OR, NOT)
  • Streaming large datasets without loading into memory

Key workflows:

  • Browse artifacts with filters and ordering
  • Query by features, creation date, creator, size, etc.

  • Minimal required schemas: Specify essential columns, permit extras
  • Strict schemas: Complete control over structure and values

Supported data types:

  • DataFrames (Parquet, CSV)
  • AnnData (single-cell genomics)
  • MuData (multi-modal)
  • SpatialData (spatial transcriptomics)
  • TileDB-SOMA (scalable arrays)

Key workflows:

  • Define features and schemas for data validation
  • Use DataFrameCurator or AnnDataCurator for validation
  • Standardize values with .cat.standardize()

# Start tracking
ln.track(params={"analysis": "scRNA-seq QC and annotation"})

# Import cell type ontology
bt.CellType.import_source()

# Load data
adata = ad.read_h5ad("raw_counts.h5ad")

# Validate and standardize cell types
adata.obs["cell_type"] = bt.CellType.standardize(adata.obs["cell_type"])

# Curate with schema
curator = ln.curators.AnnDataCurator(adata, schema)
curator.validate()
artifact = curator.save_artifact(key="scrna/validated.h5ad")

# Link ontology annotations
cell_types = bt.CellType.from_values(adata.obs.cell_type)
artifact.feature_sets.add_ontology(cell_types)

ln.finish()
Use Case 2: Building a Queryable Data Lakehouse
python
import lamindb as ln

# Register multiple experiments
for i, file in enumerate(data_files):
    artifact = ln.Artifact.from_anndata(
        ad.read_h5ad(file),
        key=f"scrna/batch_{i}.h5ad",
        description=f"scRNA-seq batch {i}"
    ).save()

    # Annotate with features
    artifact.features.add_values({
        "batch": i,
        "tissue": tissues[i],
        "condition": conditions[i]
    })

# Query across all experiments
immune_datasets = ln.Artifact.filter(
    key__startswith="scrna/",
    tissue="PBMC",
    condition="treated"
).to_dataframe()

# Load specific datasets
for artifact in immune_datasets:
    adata = artifact.load()
    # Analyze
Use Case 3: ML Pipeline with W&B Integration

import lamindb as ln
import wandb

# Initialize both systems
wandb.init(project="drug-response", name="exp-42")
ln.track(params={"model": "random_forest", "n_estimators": 100})

# Load training data from LaminDB
train_artifact = ln.Artifact.get(key="datasets/train.parquet")
train_data = train_artifact.load()

# Train model
model = train_model(train_data)

# Log to W&B
wandb.log({"accuracy": 0.95})

# Save model in LaminDB with W&B linkage
import joblib
joblib.dump(model, "model.pkl")
model_artifact = ln.Artifact("model.pkl", key="models/exp-42.pkl").save()
model_artifact.features.add_values({"wandb_run_id": wandb.run.id})

ln.finish()
wandb.finish()
Use Case 4: Nextflow Pipeline Integration
python
# In Nextflow process script
import lamindb as ln

ln.track()

# Load input artifact
input_artifact = ln.Artifact.get(key="raw/batch_${batch_id}.fastq.gz")
input_path = input_artifact.cache()

# Process (alignment, quantification, etc.)
# ... Nextflow process logic ...

# Save output
output_artifact = ln.Artifact(
    "counts.csv",
    key="processed/batch_${batch_id}_counts.csv"
).save()

Key Principles

Follow these principles when working with LaminDB:

  1. Track everything: Use ln.track() at the start of every analysis for automatic lineage capture

  2. Validate early: Define schemas and validate data before extensive analysis

  3. Use ontologies: Leverage public biological ontologies for standardized annotations

  4. Organize with keys: Structure artifact keys hierarchically (e.g., project/experiment/batch/file.h5ad)

  5. Query metadata first: Filter and search before loading large files

  6. Version, don't duplicate: Use built-in versioning instead of creating new keys for modifications

  7. Annotate with features: Define typed features for queryable metadata

  8. Document thoroughly: Add descriptions to artifacts, schemas, and transforms

  9. Leverage lineage: Use view_lineage() to understand data provenance

  10. Start local, scale cloud: Develop locally with SQLite, deploy to cloud with PostgreSQL
