What it does

Bulkrna Enrichment is an agent skill from TianGzlab/OmicsClaw. Load when running pathway / GO term enrichment on a bulk RNA-seq DE result list. Skip when the input is single-cell (use sc-enrichment); the input is spatial (use spatial-enrichment); metabolite pathways (use metabolomics-pathway-enrichment).

Its SKILL.md is about 860 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 13 other files, including reference files (for example `_api.py`, `bulkrna_enrichment.py` and `examples/example_step.py`).

It sits in Research & Science, covering Bioinformatics. The repository describes itself as: Conversational & memory-enabled AI research partner for multi-omics analysis. CLI + Desktop App (installers in Releases). From biological idea to full research paper. The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Bioinformatics

Example prompts

  • “/bulkrna-enrichment”

Requirements

  • Python 3

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 90a3bec. 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 script files (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

    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

Bulkrna Enrichment loads about 860 tokens when it runs, and up to ~1.5k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 65 tokens; SKILL.md has 305 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~65
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~860
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~1.5k

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.

Bulk pathway enrichment

Purpose

Test differential-expression results against explicit pathway gene sets. ORA uses the union of those sets as its background; GSEA ranks all input genes. Gene identifiers must use the same namespace. R adapters are not implemented.

Inputs & Outputs

CLI input is a CSV with gene, log2FoldChange, pvalue, padj; --gene-set-file is a JSON mapping from pathway names to gene lists. The library accepts the table and mapping directly. CLI writes tables/enrichment_results.csv, tables/enrichment_significant.csv, report/result files and method-dependent figures.

API

<!-- api:begin generated from _api.py; regenerate with run.py api <skill dir> --write -->
enrich(de_results, *, gene_sets, method='ora', padj_cutoff=0.05, lfc_cutoff=1.0, random_state=42)

Test pathway enrichment without choosing a reference database.

:param de_results: DataFrame with gene, log2FoldChange, pvalue and padj. :param gene_sets: Nonempty mapping from pathway names to unique gene lists. :param method: CLI default ora; gsea runs GSEApy prerank. :param padj_cutoff: CLI significance threshold, default 0.05. :param lfc_cutoff: Strict absolute fold-change threshold, default 1.0. :param random_state: Local permutation seed, legacy default 42. :returns: Enrichment DataFrame with execution diagnostics in attrs. :raises ValueError: Missing reference, invalid values or unsupported method.

run_info(result, *, keep=True)

Read tested terms, pathway universe and requested/executed methods.

:param result: DataFrame returned by enrich. :param keep: Default True; False removes diagnostic attrs. :returns: Diagnostic dictionary; empty after removal.

enrichment_figure(result)

Plot pathway adjusted significance without saving it.

:param result: Enrichment DataFrame with term and padj columns. :returns: matplotlib Figure. :raises KeyError: Required columns are missing.

<!-- api:end -->

Key CLI

bash
python skills/bulkrna/bulkrna-enrichment/bulkrna_enrichment.py --demo --output /tmp/bulkrna-enrichment
python skills/bulkrna/bulkrna-enrichment/bulkrna_enrichment.py --input de.csv --gene-set-file pathways.json --output results/enrichment --method ora

Gotchas

  • run_info(result)['background_genes'] is the pathway-union background, not all measured genes. Choose reference sets accordingly.
  • run_info(result)['executed_method'] and fallback_reason disclose fallback calculations. The built-in GSEA fallback is a mean-rank permutation test, not GSEA; fallback emits a warning.
  • tables/enrichment_results.csv may be empty when no terms overlap. Demo pathways are available only with --demo; real input requires an explicit reference.
  • run_info(result)['method_used'] distinguishes GSEApy and built-in calculations. The legacy ora_r and gsea_r flags now reject an unimplemented backend rather than silently changing it.

Dependencies
