What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 82c862c. 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:

    • pip

    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):

    • doi.org
    • scanpy.readthedocs.io
    • scanpy-tutorials.readthedocs.io
    • training.galaxyproject.org
    • 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 Scrna Seq loads about 4.7k tokens when it runs, and up to ~9.6k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 52 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,023 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~52
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~4.7k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~9.6k

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.

Scanpy Single-Cell RNA-seq Analysis

Overview

Scanpy is a scalable Python toolkit for analyzing single-cell RNA-seq data built on the AnnData format. This skill covers the end-to-end standard workflow: quality control, normalization, highly variable gene selection, dimensionality reduction, clustering, marker gene identification, and cell type annotation. It produces annotated datasets and publication-quality visualizations.

When to Use

  • Analyzing single-cell RNA-seq count matrices (10X Genomics, h5ad, CSV, loom)
  • Performing quality control filtering on scRNA-seq datasets (mitochondrial %, gene counts)
  • Running dimensionality reduction: PCA, UMAP, t-SNE
  • Identifying cell clusters via Leiden community detection
  • Finding differentially expressed marker genes per cluster (Wilcoxon, t-test, logistic regression)
  • Annotating cell types from known marker gene panels
  • Conducting trajectory inference and pseudotime analysis (PAGA, diffusion pseudotime)
  • Generating publication-quality single-cell plots (dot plots, heatmaps, stacked violins)
  • Comparing gene expression across experimental conditions within cell types
  • Use omics-plotting SKILL for generic figures (volcano/heatmap/bar/KM) from exported tables; single-cell views stay in scanpy sc.pl.*
  • Use Seurat (R/Bioconductor) instead for scRNA-seq analysis in an existing R workflow or when Seurat-specific assay types are required

Prerequisites

  • Python packages: scanpy>=1.10, leidenalg, igraph, anndata
  • Data requirements: Gene expression count matrix (cells x genes). Common formats: 10X Cell Ranger output (filtered_feature_bc_matrix/), .h5ad, .h5, .csv
  • Environment: Python 3.9+; 16GB+ RAM recommended for >50k cells
bash
pip install "scanpy[leiden]" anndata

D5 hangs on D4 because the elbow is read off a PCA computed over the selected variable genes — a different gene count moves where it sits. D2 shapes the pipeline rather than a single call: naming a batch adds a correction stage (harmony-batch-correction or ComBat) before the neighbor graph.

Workflow

Step 1: Setup and Data Loading

Configure scanpy settings and read the count matrix into an AnnData object. Ensure gene names are unique.

python
import scanpy as sc
import numpy as np
import pandas as pd

# Configure settings
sc.settings.verbosity = 3  # errors=0, warnings=1, info=2, hints=3
sc.settings.set_figure_params(dpi=80, facecolor="white")

# Load data — pick the reader matching your format
adata = sc.read_10x_mtx(
    "path/to/filtered_feature_bc_matrix/",
    var_names="gene_symbols",
    cache=True,
)
# Alternatives:
# adata = sc.read_h5ad("data.h5ad")
# adata = sc.read_10x_h5("data.h5")

adata.var_names_make_unique()
print(f"Loaded: {adata.n_obs} cells x {adata.n_vars} genes")
print(f"Sparsity: {1 - adata.X.nnz / (adata.n_obs * adata.n_vars):.1%}")
Step 2: Quality Control

Annotate mitochondrial/ribosomal genes, compute QC metrics, visualize distributions, and filter low-quality cells.

python
# Annotate gene groups
adata.var["mt"] = adata.var_names.str.startswith("MT-")    # human; use "mt-" for mouse
adata.var["ribo"] = adata.var_names.str.startswith(("RPS", "RPL"))

# Calculate QC metrics
sc.pp.calculate_qc_metrics(
    adata, qc_vars=["mt", "ribo"], percent_top=None, log1p=False, inplace=True
)

# Visualize QC distributions
sc.pl.violin(
    adata,
    ["n_genes_by_counts", "total_counts", "pct_counts_mt"],
    jitter=0.4,
    multi_panel=True,
)
sc.pl.scatter(adata, x="total_counts", y="pct_counts_mt")
sc.pl.scatter(adata, x="total_counts", y="n_genes_by_counts")

# Filter — adjust thresholds based on the QC plots above
sc.pp.filter_cells(adata, min_genes=200)
sc.pp.filter_genes(adata, min_cells=3)
adata = adata[adata.obs.n_genes_by_counts < 5000, :]  # remove potential doublets
adata = adata[adata.obs.pct_counts_mt < 20, :]         # remove dying cells

print(f"After QC: {adata.n_obs} cells x {adata.n_vars} genes")
Step 3: Normalization and Feature Selection

Normalize library sizes, log-transform, and identify highly variable genes (HVGs). Store raw counts for later differential expression.

python
# Preserve raw counts in a layer
adata.layers["counts"] = adata.X.copy()

# Normalize to 10,000 counts per cell, then log-transform
sc.pp.normalize_total(adata, target_sum=1e4)
sc.pp.log1p(adata)

# Save normalized data as .raw for visualization
adata.raw = adata

# Identify highly variable genes
sc.pp.highly_variable_genes(adata, n_top_genes=2000, flavor="seurat_v3", layer="counts")
sc.pl.highly_variable_genes(adata)

# Subset to HVGs
adata = adata[:, adata.var.highly_variable]
print(f"HVG subset: {adata.n_obs} cells x {adata.n_vars} genes")
Step 4: Scaling and Regression

Regress out confounders and scale gene expression values. This prepares data for PCA.

python
# Regress out unwanted sources of variation
sc.pp.regress_out(adata, ["total_counts", "pct_counts_mt"])

# Scale to unit variance, clip extreme values
sc.pp.scale(adata, max_value=10)

print(f"Scaled matrix: mean={adata.X.mean():.4f}, std={adata.X.std():.4f}")
Step 5: Dimensionality Reduction

Compute PCA, inspect the variance ratio elbow plot, then build a neighborhood graph and embed with UMAP.

python
# PCA
sc.tl.pca(adata, svd_solver="arpack", n_comps=50)
sc.pl.pca_variance_ratio(adata, log=True, n_pcs=50)

# Determine n_pcs from elbow plot (typically 30-50)
n_pcs = 40

# Compute k-nearest neighbor graph
sc.pp.neighbors(adata, n_neighbors=15, n_pcs=n_pcs)

# UMAP embedding
sc.tl.umap(adata)
sc.pl.umap(adata, color=["n_genes_by_counts", "total_counts", "pct_counts_mt"])

print(f"UMAP shape: {adata.obsm['X_umap'].shape}")
Step 6: Clustering

Run Leiden clustering at multiple resolutions and select the best granularity by visual inspection.

python
# Test multiple resolutions
for res in [0.3, 0.5, 0.8, 1.0, 1.2]:
    sc.tl.leiden(adata, resolution=res, key_added=f"leiden_res{res}", flavor="igraph", n_iterations=2)

# Compare resolutions side-by-side
sc.pl.umap(
    adata,
    color=["leiden_res0.3", "leiden_res0.5", "leiden_res0.8", "leiden_res1.0"],
    ncols=2,
    legend_loc="on data",
)

# Pick final resolution based on biological plausibility
adata.obs["leiden"] = adata.obs["leiden_res0.5"]
n_clusters = adata.obs["leiden"].nunique()
print(f"Selected resolution=0.5: {n_clusters} clusters")
Step 7: Marker Gene Identification

Find differentially expressed genes per cluster using Wilcoxon rank-sum test on raw counts.

python
# Rank genes per cluster
sc.tl.rank_genes_groups(adata, groupby="leiden", method="wilcoxon", use_raw=True)

# Visualization
sc.pl.rank_genes_groups(adata, n_genes=20, sharey=False)
sc.pl.rank_genes_groups_dotplot(adata, n_genes=5)
sc.pl.rank_genes_groups_heatmap(adata, n_genes=10, use_raw=True, show_gene_labels=True)

# Extract as DataFrame
markers_df = sc.get.rank_genes_groups_df(adata, group=None)
top_markers = markers_df[markers_df["pvals_adj"] < 0.05].groupby("group").head(10)
print(f"Significant markers: {len(top_markers)} genes across {top_markers['group'].nunique()} clusters")
print(top_markers[["group", "names", "logfoldchanges", "pvals_adj"]].head(15))
Step 8: Cell Type Annotation and Export

Assign cell types based on canonical marker genes, visualize, and save all results.

python
# Define canonical markers (example: human PBMC)
marker_genes = {
    "CD4 T cells":      ["CD3D", "CD3E", "IL7R"],
    "CD8 T cells":      ["CD8A", "CD8B", "GZMK"],
    "B cells":          ["MS4A1", "CD79A", "CD79B"],
    "NK cells":         ["NKG7", "GNLY", "KLRD1"],
    "CD14+ Monocytes":  ["CD14", "LYZ", "S100A9"],
    "FCGR3A+ Monocytes":["FCGR3A", "MS4A7"],
    "Dendritic cells":  ["FCER1A", "CST3"],
    "Platelets":        ["PPBP", "PF4"],
}

# Dot plot — rows = clusters, columns = markers
sc.pl.dotplot(adata, var_names=marker_genes, groupby="leiden", use_raw=True)

# Map clusters → cell types (adjust based on your dot plot)
cluster_to_celltype = {
    "0": "CD4 T cells",
    "1": "CD14+ Monocytes",
    "2": "B cells",
    "3": "CD8 T cells",
    "4": "NK cells",
    "5": "FCGR3A+ Monocytes",
    "6": "Dendritic cells",
    "7": "Platelets",
}
adata.obs["cell_type"] = adata.obs["leiden"].map(cluster_to_celltype).fillna("Unknown")
sc.pl.umap(adata, color="cell_type", legend_loc="on data", frameon=False)

# Save results
adata.write("results/annotated_data.h5ad", compression="gzip")
adata.obs.to_csv("results/cell_metadata.csv")
markers_df.to_csv("results/marker_genes.csv", index=False)
print(f"Saved: {adata.n_obs} cells with {adata.obs['cell_type'].nunique()} cell types")

Common Recipes

Recipe: Batch Correction with ComBat

When to use: multiple samples/batches with visible batch effects on the UMAP.

python
# Requires 'batch' column in adata.obs
sc.pp.combat(adata, key="batch")
# Re-run PCA, neighbors, UMAP, clustering after correction
sc.tl.pca(adata, svd_solver="arpack")
sc.pp.neighbors(adata, n_pcs=40)
sc.tl.umap(adata)
sc.pl.umap(adata, color=["batch", "leiden"])
Recipe: Trajectory Inference with PAGA + Diffusion Pseudotime

When to use: cells follow a developmental continuum rather than discrete clusters.

python
# PAGA graph abstraction
sc.tl.paga(adata, groups="leiden")
sc.pl.paga(adata, color="leiden", threshold=0.03)

# Reinitialize UMAP with PAGA layout
sc.tl.umap(adata, init_pos="paga")

# Diffusion pseudotime — set root cell
adata.uns["iroot"] = np.flatnonzero(adata.obs["leiden"] == "0")[0]
sc.tl.diffmap(adata)
sc.tl.dpt(adata)
sc.pl.umap(adata, color=["dpt_pseudotime", "leiden"])
Recipe: Publication-Quality Figures

When to use: generating figures for manuscripts or presentations.

python
sc.settings.set_figure_params(dpi=300, frameon=False, figsize=(5, 5))

# UMAP with custom palette
sc.pl.umap(
    adata, color="cell_type",
    palette="Set2",
    legend_loc="on data",
    legend_fontsize=10,
    legend_fontoutline=2,
    title="",
    save="_celltype_publication.pdf",
)

# Stacked violin plot of top markers
flat_markers = [g for genes in marker_genes.values() for g in genes[:2]]
sc.pl.stacked_violin(
    adata, var_names=flat_markers, groupby="cell_type",
    use_raw=True, swap_axes=True,
    save="_markers_violin.pdf",
)
Recipe: Differential Expression Between Conditions

When to use: comparing treated vs control within a specific cell type.

python
# Subset to cell type of interest
adata_t = adata[adata.obs["cell_type"] == "CD4 T cells"].copy()

# DE between conditions
sc.tl.rank_genes_groups(adata_t, groupby="condition", groups=["treated"], reference="control", method="wilcoxon", use_raw=True)
sc.pl.rank_genes_groups_volcano(adata_t, groups=["treated"])

de_results = sc.get.rank_genes_groups_df(adata_t, group="treated")
sig_genes = de_results[de_results["pvals_adj"] < 0.05]
print(f"Significant DE genes: {len(sig_genes)}")
