What it does

Proteomics Identification is an agent skill from TianGzlab/OmicsClaw. Load when summarising peptide identifications (PSM count, unique peptide count, distinct protein count, score / charge distributions) from a peptide-level CSV produced by MaxQuant / FragPipe / DIA-NN. Skip when raw spectra are the input (run a search engine first); working with protein-quantification tables (use proteomics-ms-qc).

Its SKILL.md is about 1.1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 10 other files, including reference files (for example `_api.py`, `examples/example_step.py` and `proteomics_identification.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

  • “/proteomics-identification”

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

Proteomics Identification loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs, and up to ~1.3k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 90 tokens; SKILL.md has 431 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~90
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.1k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~1.3k

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.

When to use

Confidence filtering uses qvalue, q-value, q_value, PEP, pep or fdr in that order. The default threshold is 0.01. Use existing search-engine tables; this skill does not search raw spectra.

Use from a step

python
from skills._sdk.notebook import load_skill, write_output
library = load_skill('proteomics-identification')
data = library.demo_data(random_state=42)
result = library.filter_identifications(data, n_spectra=1000)
write_output(result, 'tables/peptides.csv')

For real data, use read_input and pass any read_table helper as reader=. The executable examples/example_step.py also checks the result and writes a Figure.

API

<!-- api:begin generated from _api.py; regenerate with run.py api <skill dir> --write -->
read_table(path: str | Path) -> pd.DataFrame

Read peptide CSV/TSV; pass this function as reader= to read_input.

:param path: Peptide table; txt and tsv suffixes select tab separation. :returns: Table with common MaxQuant column names normalized. :raises OSError: The file cannot be read.

filter_identifications(data: pd.DataFrame, *, fdr_threshold: float=0.01, n_spectra: int | None=None) -> pd.DataFrame

Filter peptide confidence values and return a new table.

:param data: Existing peptide/protein rows with optional qvalue, q-value, q_value, PEP, pep or fdr. :param fdr_threshold: CLI default 0.01; PEP thresholding is not a global FDR estimate. :param n_spectra: Total spectra; CLI default None uses retained PSM count, not an observed identification rate. :returns: Filtered rows with the actual confidence column and summary in attrs. :raises ValueError: Threshold or spectrum count is invalid.

run_info(table: pd.DataFrame, *, keep: bool=True) -> dict

Read identification diagnostics.

:param table: Filtered peptide table. :param keep: True preserves attrs; False removes diagnostics. :returns: A separate dictionary with filter provenance and summary. :raises TypeError: The input is not a DataFrame.

score_figure(table: pd.DataFrame)

Plot peptide identification scores.

:param table: Peptide table including score. :returns: A matplotlib Figure without writing files. :raises KeyError: score is absent.

Show full SKILL.md (189 more words)Show less
demo_data(*, random_state: int=42) -> pd.DataFrame

Simulate identifications for one thousand spectra.

:param random_state: CLI seed 42; change for another simulation. :returns: Synthetic peptide identifications, not a search-engine result. :raises ValueError: The seed is invalid.

<!-- api:end -->

Methods and parameters

Confidence filtering uses qvalue, q-value, q_value, PEP, pep or fdr in that order. The default threshold is 0.01. Functions return new DataFrames. run_info(result) reads diagnostic attrs; use keep=False before serialization when those attrs are not needed.

Gotchas

  • filter_identifications warns and records an unfiltered result without confidence columns. PEP thresholding is not global FDR control. run_info marks inferred spectrum totals.
  • demo_data uses seed 42, matching the CLI; every demo is synthetic.
  • run_info lives in DataFrame attrs and is not preserved by CSV serialization.

Inputs and outputs

The CLI reads CSV tables and writes:

  • tables/peptides.csv
  • report.md
  • result.json
  • reproducibility/commands.sh records the CLI invocation template.

Functions return data and Figures without writing files. Steps own their outputs. Demo mode also writes its synthetic input when the original CLI used a file.

CLI

bash
python skills/proteomics/proteomics-identification/proteomics_identification.py --demo --output /tmp/proteomics_identification

For real input replace --demo with --input <table>.
