At a glance

Stage 3 of the spatial transcriptomics workflow — identify spatial domains and detect spatially variable genes.

  • Works in 2 steps: Spatial domains:… → SVG detection:…
  • The user asks to find spatial domains/niches
  • SKILL.md covers Goal, Steps, Outputs and Biological Interpretation, plus 1 more section
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Spatial S3 Domains SVG is an agent skill from QING1105/ezST. Stage 3 of the spatial transcriptomics workflow — identify spatial domains and detect spatially variable genes. Use when the user asks to find spatial domains/niches, run Moran's I, or detect spatially variable genes (SVGs) in Visium data. Produces spatial domain maps and SVG rankings, then stops for review.

Its SKILL.md is about 480 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 Backend & APIs, covering File uploads and storage and Bioinformatics. The repository describes itself as: 10x Visium spatial transcriptomics analysis skills for Codex — staged workflow with human review gates and LLM biological interpretation. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • The user asks to find spatial domains/niches
  • Detect spatially variable genes (SVGs) in Visium data

Example prompts

  • “/spatial-s3-domains-svg”

Workflow steps

2 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Spatial domains: identify_spatial_domains(adata_path=..., output_path=..., plot_path=..., resolution=..., n_neighs=...)
  2. SVG detection: find_spatially_variable_genes(adata_path=..., output_path=..., plot_path=..., n_top_genes=..., n_jobs=..., genes_to_plot=...)

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 429f9fc. 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.

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    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

Spatial S3 Domains SVG loads about 476 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 83 tokens; SKILL.md has 156 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~83
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~476

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.

S3 — Spatial Domains + SVG

Goal

Identify spatial domains (tissue architecture regions) using a spatial neighborhood graph, and detect spatially variable genes with Moran's I.

Steps

  1. Spatial domains: identify_spatial_domains(adata_path=..., output_path=..., plot_path=..., resolution=..., n_neighs=...)
    • Defaults: resolution=1.0, n_neighs=6 (spatial neighbor count).
    • Output: domain assignments + spatial domain map.
  2. SVG detection: find_spatially_variable_genes(adata_path=..., output_path=..., plot_path=..., n_top_genes=..., n_jobs=..., genes_to_plot=...)
    • Defaults: n_top_genes=100, n_jobs=1.
    • genes_to_plot: optional list of specific genes to visualize on spatial coordinates (useful for marker validation, e.g., EPCAM, CD3D, VIM).
    • Output: SVG ranked CSV + spatial plots of top genes.

Outputs

  • results/05_domains/<sample>_domains.h5ad
  • results/05_domains/<sample>_domains.png
  • results/06_svg/<sample>_svg_results.csv
  • results/06_svg/<sample>_svg_*.png

Biological Interpretation

  • Report the number of spatial domains and their spatial layout.
  • Interpret domains against expected tissue architecture (e.g., tumor core, stroma, immune infiltrate, normal epithelium).
  • Check top SVGs: are they known markers for the tissue type? Do their spatial patterns align with domains?

Stop for Review

Present interpretation using the template from the parent spatial-transcriptomics skill. Wait for 通过 / 调整 / 跳过 before proceeding to S4.
