At a glance

Walks through single-cell RNA-seq analysis with Scanpy: loading .h5ad and 10X data, QC, normalization, PCA and UMAP, Leiden clustering, marker genes and cell type annotation.

  • Works in 7 steps: Quality Control → Normalization and Preprocessing → Dimensionality Reduction → …
  • Analyzing scRNA-seq data from 10X Genomics or .h5ad files
  • SKILL.md covers Overview, When to Use This Skill, Quick Start and Standard Analysis Workflow, plus 4 more sections
  • Runs Python scripts from its folder; calls python

What it does

The skill covers a standard workflow built on AnnData: load data from 10X Genomics, h5ad or CSV, run quality control that flags mitochondrial genes and filters low-quality cells and genes, normalize to 10,000 counts per cell, reduce dimensions with PCA, UMAP or t-SNE, cluster with Leiden, find marker genes per cluster with a Wilcoxon test, and annotate cell types from known markers. Trajectory and pseudotime analysis and publication-quality plots are also in scope.

Bundled files include scripts/qc_analysis.py, which takes an input h5ad file and writes a filtered output file, an analysis_template.py asset, and reference notes on the API, plotting and the standard workflow.

When your agent uses it

  • Analyzing scRNA-seq data from 10X Genomics or .h5ad files
  • Running quality control and filtering on a single-cell dataset
  • Clustering cells and finding marker genes
  • Annotating cell types from marker gene expression
  • Making UMAP, t-SNE or PCA figures for a paper

Example prompts

  • “Load the 10X folder in ./pbmc/ and run QC, filtering and normalization with Scanpy.”
  • “Cluster the cells with Leiden and plot the UMAP colored by cluster.”
  • “Find marker genes for each cluster and suggest cell type labels.”
  • “Run scripts/qc_analysis.py on my h5ad file and tell me how many cells were filtered out.”

Requirements

  • Python with Scanpy and AnnData

Workflow steps

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

  1. Quality Control
  2. Normalization and Preprocessing
  3. Dimensionality Reduction
  4. Clustering
  5. Marker Gene Identification
  6. Cell Type Annotation
  7. Save Results

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

    Ships 1 file in scripts/ (Python), which the agent can run.

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • python

    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):

    • scanpy.readthedocs.io
    • scanpy-tutorials.readthedocs.io
    • scverse.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

Scanpy Single-Cell Analysis loads about 2.8k tokens when it runs, and up to ~8.4k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 46 tokens; SKILL.md has 615 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~46
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~2.8k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~8.4k

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.

Scanpy: Single-Cell Analysis

Overview

Scanpy is a scalable Python toolkit for analyzing single-cell RNA-seq data, built on AnnData. Apply this skill for complete single-cell workflows including quality control, normalization, dimensionality reduction, clustering, marker gene identification, visualization, and trajectory analysis.

When to Use This Skill

This skill should be used when:

  • Analyzing single-cell RNA-seq data (.h5ad, 10X, CSV formats)
  • Performing quality control on scRNA-seq datasets
  • Creating UMAP, t-SNE, or PCA visualizations
  • Identifying cell clusters and finding marker genes
  • Annotating cell types based on gene expression
  • Conducting trajectory inference or pseudotime analysis
  • Generating publication-quality single-cell plots

Quick Start

Basic Import and Setup
python
import scanpy as sc
import pandas as pd
import numpy as np

# Configure settings
sc.settings.verbosity = 3
sc.settings.set_figure_params(dpi=80, facecolor='white')
sc.settings.figdir = './figures/'
Loading Data
python
# From 10X Genomics
adata = sc.read_10x_mtx('path/to/data/')
adata = sc.read_10x_h5('path/to/data.h5')

# From h5ad (AnnData format)
adata = sc.read_h5ad('path/to/data.h5ad')

# From CSV
adata = sc.read_csv('path/to/data.csv')
Understanding AnnData Structure

The AnnData object is the core data structure in scanpy:

python
adata.X          # Expression matrix (cells × genes)
adata.obs        # Cell metadata (DataFrame)
adata.var        # Gene metadata (DataFrame)
adata.uns        # Unstructured annotations (dict)
adata.obsm       # Multi-dimensional cell data (PCA, UMAP)
adata.raw        # Raw data backup

# Access cell and gene names
adata.obs_names  # Cell barcodes
adata.var_names  # Gene names

Standard Analysis Workflow

1. Quality Control

Identify and filter low-quality cells and genes:

python
# Identify mitochondrial genes
adata.var['mt'] = adata.var_names.str.startswith('MT-')

# Calculate QC metrics
sc.pp.calculate_qc_metrics(adata, qc_vars=['mt'], inplace=True)

# Visualize QC metrics
sc.pl.violin(adata, ['n_genes_by_counts', 'total_counts', 'pct_counts_mt'],
             jitter=0.4, multi_panel=True)

# Filter cells and genes
sc.pp.filter_cells(adata, min_genes=200)
sc.pp.filter_genes(adata, min_cells=3)
adata = adata[adata.obs.pct_counts_mt < 5, :]  # Remove high MT% cells

Use the QC script for automated analysis:

bash
python scripts/qc_analysis.py input_file.h5ad --output filtered.h5ad
2. Normalization and Preprocessing
python
# Normalize to 10,000 counts per cell
sc.pp.normalize_total(adata, target_sum=1e4)

# Log-transform
sc.pp.log1p(adata)

# Save raw counts for later
adata.raw = adata

# Identify highly variable genes
sc.pp.highly_variable_genes(adata, n_top_genes=2000)
sc.pl.highly_variable_genes(adata)

# Subset to highly variable genes
adata = adata[:, adata.var.highly_variable]

# Regress out unwanted variation
sc.pp.regress_out(adata, ['total_counts', 'pct_counts_mt'])

# Scale data
sc.pp.scale(adata, max_value=10)
3. Dimensionality Reduction
python
# PCA
sc.tl.pca(adata, svd_solver='arpack')
sc.pl.pca_variance_ratio(adata, log=True)  # Check elbow plot

# Compute neighborhood graph
sc.pp.neighbors(adata, n_neighbors=10, n_pcs=40)

# UMAP for visualization
sc.tl.umap(adata)
sc.pl.umap(adata, color='leiden')

# Alternative: t-SNE
sc.tl.tsne(adata)
4. Clustering
python
# Leiden clustering (recommended)
sc.tl.leiden(adata, resolution=0.5)
sc.pl.umap(adata, color='leiden', legend_loc='on data')

# Try multiple resolutions to find optimal granularity
for res in [0.3, 0.5, 0.8, 1.0]:
    sc.tl.leiden(adata, resolution=res, key_added=f'leiden_{res}')
5. Marker Gene Identification
python
# Find marker genes for each cluster
sc.tl.rank_genes_groups(adata, 'leiden', method='wilcoxon')

# Visualize results
sc.pl.rank_genes_groups(adata, n_genes=25, sharey=False)
sc.pl.rank_genes_groups_heatmap(adata, n_genes=10)
sc.pl.rank_genes_groups_dotplot(adata, n_genes=5)

# Get results as DataFrame
markers = sc.get.rank_genes_groups_df(adata, group='0')
6. Cell Type Annotation
python
# Define marker genes for known cell types
marker_genes = ['CD3D', 'CD14', 'MS4A1', 'NKG7', 'FCGR3A']

# Visualize markers
sc.pl.umap(adata, color=marker_genes, use_raw=True)
sc.pl.dotplot(adata, var_names=marker_genes, groupby='leiden')

# Manual annotation
cluster_to_celltype = {
    '0': 'CD4 T cells',
    '1': 'CD14+ Monocytes',
    '2': 'B cells',
    '3': 'CD8 T cells',
}
adata.obs['cell_type'] = adata.obs['leiden'].map(cluster_to_celltype)

# Visualize annotated types
sc.pl.umap(adata, color='cell_type', legend_loc='on data')
7. Save Results
python
# Save processed data
adata.write('results/processed_data.h5ad')

# Export metadata
adata.obs.to_csv('results/cell_metadata.csv')
adata.var.to_csv('results/gene_metadata.csv')

Common Tasks

Creating Publication-Quality Plots
python
# Set high-quality defaults
sc.settings.set_figure_params(dpi=300, frameon=False, figsize=(5, 5))
sc.settings.file_format_figs = 'pdf'

# UMAP with custom styling
sc.pl.umap(adata, color='cell_type',
           palette='Set2',
           legend_loc='on data',
           legend_fontsize=12,
           legend_fontoutline=2,
           frameon=False,
           save='_publication.pdf')

# Heatmap of marker genes
sc.pl.heatmap(adata, var_names=genes, groupby='cell_type',
              swap_axes=True, show_gene_labels=True,
              save='_markers.pdf')

# Dot plot
sc.pl.dotplot(adata, var_names=genes, groupby='cell_type',
              save='_dotplot.pdf')

Refer to references/plotting_guide.md for comprehensive visualization examples.

Trajectory Inference
python
# PAGA (Partition-based graph abstraction)
sc.tl.paga(adata, groups='leiden')
sc.pl.paga(adata, color='leiden')

# Diffusion pseudotime
adata.uns['iroot'] = np.flatnonzero(adata.obs['leiden'] == '0')[0]
sc.tl.dpt(adata)
sc.pl.umap(adata, color='dpt_pseudotime')
Differential Expression Between Conditions
python
# Compare treated vs control within cell types
adata_subset = adata[adata.obs['cell_type'] == 'T cells']
sc.tl.rank_genes_groups(adata_subset, groupby='condition',
                         groups=['treated'], reference='control')
sc.pl.rank_genes_groups(adata_subset, groups=['treated'])
Gene Set Scoring
python
# Score cells for gene set expression
gene_set = ['CD3D', 'CD3E', 'CD3G']
sc.tl.score_genes(adata, gene_set, score_name='T_cell_score')
sc.pl.umap(adata, color='T_cell_score')
Batch Correction
python
# ComBat batch correction
sc.pp.combat(adata, key='batch')

# Alternative: use Harmony or scVI (separate packages)

Key Parameters to Adjust

Quality Control
  • min_genes: Minimum genes per cell (typically 200-500)
  • min_cells: Minimum cells per gene (typically 3-10)
  • pct_counts_mt: Mitochondrial threshold (typically 5-20%)
Normalization
  • target_sum: Target counts per cell (default 1e4)
Feature Selection
  • n_top_genes: Number of HVGs (typically 2000-3000)
  • min_mean, max_mean, min_disp: HVG selection parameters
Dimensionality Reduction
  • n_pcs: Number of principal components (check variance ratio plot)
  • n_neighbors: Number of neighbors (typically 10-30)
Clustering
  • resolution: Clustering granularity (0.4-1.2, higher = more clusters)

Common Pitfalls and Best Practices

  1. Always save raw counts: adata.raw = adata before filtering genes
  2. Check QC plots carefully: Adjust thresholds based on dataset quality
  3. Use Leiden over Louvain: More efficient and better results
  4. Try multiple clustering resolutions: Find optimal granularity
  5. Validate cell type annotations: Use multiple marker genes
  6. Use use_raw=True for gene expression plots: Shows original counts
  7. Check PCA variance ratio: Determine optimal number of PCs
  8. Save intermediate results: Long workflows can fail partway through

  2. Run QC script first: Use scripts/qc_analysis.py for initial filtering
  3. Consult references as needed: Load workflow and API references into context
  4. Iterate on clustering: Try multiple resolutions and visualization methods
  5. Validate biologically: Check marker genes match expected cell types
  6. Document parameters: Record QC thresholds and analysis settings
  7. Save checkpoints: Write intermediate results at key steps
