What it does

Proteomics Quantification is an agent skill from TianGzlab/OmicsClaw. Load when computing per-protein abundance from a peptide / PSM table via LFQ (intensity summation), iBAQ (intensity / tryptic peptide count), or spectral counting (PSMs per protein). Skip when the input is already protein-level (use proteomics-ms-qc); label-based TMT / iTRAQ workflows (search upstream first).

Its SKILL.md is about 1.3k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 6 other files, including reference files (for example `proteomics_quantification.py`, `references/methodology.md` and `references/output_contract.md`).

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 MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Bioinformatics

Example prompts

  • “/proteomics-quantification”

Requirements

  • Python 3

Workflow steps

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

  1. Load CSV (--input ) or generate a demo (--demo).
  2. Dispatch on --method (proteomics_quantification.py:156); validate required columns per method.
  3. Aggregate per protein
  4. Write tables/protein_abundance.csv (proteomics_quantification.py:277) + report.md + result.json (:283).

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 6fbd79f. 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 Quantification loads about 1.3k tokens when it runs, and up to ~1.8k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 84 tokens; SKILL.md has 384 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~84
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.3k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~1.8k

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

The user has a peptide / PSM table and wants protein-level abundance via one of:

  • lfq (default) — Label-Free Quantification by intensity summation. Requires an intensity column.
  • ibaq — intensity-Based Absolute Quantification (intensity / theoretical tryptic peptide count). Requires an intensity column AND ONE OF: a per-protein sequence column (in-silico digested by the script) OR a pre-computed n_theoretical_peptides integer column. Without either, the script silently estimates unique_peptides × 1.5.
  • spectral_count — PSM count per protein (no intensity needed).

Pick with --method {lfq,spectral_count,ibaq} (default lfq). For TMT / iTRAQ label-based workflows, perform the search-engine quant first; this skill is intensity- / count-only.

Inputs & Outputs

<!-- AUTO-GENERATED from skill.yaml (interface) — do not edit by hand. Regenerate: python scripts/generate_skill_md.py <skill_dir> -->

Inputs

  • Modalities: lfq
  • File types: .csv
  • Accepts artifact proteomics.peptide_table (csv)

Outputs

  • tables/protein_abundance.csv
  • report.md
  • result.json
  • Produces artifact proteomics.abundance_matrix as tables/protein_abundance.csv (csv)

Flow

  1. Load CSV (--input <peptides.csv>) or generate a demo (--demo).
  2. Dispatch on --method (proteomics_quantification.py:156); validate required columns per method.
  3. Aggregate per protein:
    • lfq: sum intensity per protein.
    • ibaq: sum intensity per protein, divide by n_theoretical_peptides. Source order at proteomics_quantification.py:115-130: sequence (compute on the fly) → n_theoretical_peptides (use as-is) → unique_peptides × 1.5 (silent estimate with warning).
    • spectral_count: count PSMs per protein.
  4. Write tables/protein_abundance.csv (proteomics_quantification.py:277) + report.md + result.json (:283).

Gotchas

  • lfq and ibaq require an intensity column; method enforces this. proteomics_quantification.py:77 raises ValueError("Input requires an 'intensity' column for LFQ"); :109 raises the same for iBAQ. spectral_count only needs row counts (no intensity).
  • ibaq requires either sequence OR n_theoretical_peptides; otherwise it SILENTLY ESTIMATES. proteomics_quantification.py:115-130 checks for sequence first (in-silico digest at :42-72, K/R not before P, length 7-30), then n_theoretical_peptides, otherwise falls back to unique_peptides × 1.5 with only a logger warning. The wrong column name (theoretical_peptides instead of n_theoretical_peptides) silently triggers the estimate path — always pass one of the two correct columns.
  • Unknown --method raises ValueError. proteomics_quantification.py:156 rejects values outside ("lfq", "spectral_count", "ibaq"). The argparse choices= already enforces this — the :156 raise is defence-in-depth for direct library calls.
  • --input REQUIRED unless --demo. proteomics_quantification.py:269 raises ValueError("--input required").
  • Missing intensities in lfq are summed as 0. pd.Series.sum(skipna=True) is the default — proteins with all-NaN intensities yield 0, indistinguishable from "all detected as zero". Pre-filter or impute upstream if NaN-vs-zero matters.
