What it does

Sc Drug Response is an agent skill from TianGzlab/OmicsClaw. Load when scoring drug sensitivity per cluster on an annotated scRNA AnnData via simple-correlation against drug-target signatures or via CaDRReS-Sc pretrained models (GDSC / PRISM). Skip when the AnnData has no cluster labels yet (use sc-clustering); predicting genetic-perturbation effects (use sc-in-silico-perturbation).

Its SKILL.md is about 1.3k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 11 other files, including reference files (for example `_api.py`, `examples/example_step.py` and `references/methodology.md`).

It sits in Research & Science, covering Bioinformatics. It works with AnnData. 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

  • “/sc-drug-response”

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

Sc Drug Response 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 85 tokens; SKILL.md has 511 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~85
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.

sc-drug-response

Summarize drug-associated gene expression or apply supplied CaDRReS models. The default does not predict drug sensitivity or recommend treatment.

Key CLI

bash
python skills/singlecell/scrna/sc-drug-response/sc_drug_response.py --demo --output /tmp/sc_drug_demo
python skills/singlecell/scrna/sc-drug-response/sc_drug_response.py --input clustered.h5ad --cluster-key leiden --output results/drug_expression
python skills/singlecell/scrna/sc-drug-response/sc_drug_response.py --input clustered.h5ad --cluster-key leiden --method cadrres --drug-db gdsc --model-dir /path/to/trusted/models --output results/cadrres

Methods and Workflow

simple_correlation is a legacy CLI name for mean expression, not correlation. It averages available genes in each drug-associated gene set and cell group, reports mean_target_expression, and ranks those descriptive means. Built-in sets include targets, resistance and response-associated genes with no signed weights. More expression does not imply more sensitivity or clinical benefit.

cadrres requires the omicverse adapter, a local CaDRReS-Sc checkout and trusted pretrained model files. No models are bundled or downloaded. The old release download links are unavailable; no replacement source is claimed here. Returned Score is model output: inspect its units and direction, not just rank.

Upstream: sc-preprocessing and cluster/cell-type annotation. Downstream: inspect gene overlap and expression patterns before any experimental follow-up.

Inputs & Outputs

Input: normalized expression in .h5ad with gene symbols and a group column. PCA/neighbours are not required for scoring. The CLI writes processed.h5ad, tables/drug_rankings.csv, report.md, result.json and reproducibility/commands.sh. Bar/heatmap figures are written when scores are available; figures/drug_sensitivity_umap.png is a legacy filename and requires UMAP. obs['drug_score_<drug>'] are legacy names for the same group-level values, not per-cell response predictions. Temporary CaDRReS CSV files are not public outputs.

Gotchas

  • tables/drug_rankings.csv has mean_target_expression for the default and Score for CaDRReS. Do not compare their units.
  • result.json → summary.n_drugs_scored is zero if no gene set overlaps; review TargetGenes, TotalTargets and OverlapPct in the table.
  • Pass --cluster-key on real data; automatic selection can choose an unintended categorical column. The API accepts cluster_key=None to summarize all cells.
  • --method cadrres --demo generates explicitly synthetic plumbing scores without a real model. The API never substitutes synthetic predictions for a missing model.
  • report.md includes the SDK's OmicsClaw research-use disclaimer unchanged.

score_drug_targets(adata, *, cluster_key=None, drug_targets=None)

Return mean_target_expression for each drug-associated gene set and group.

Averages X over available genes and cells, rounding to four decimals to preserve the CLI table. No model is fitted; this is neither correlation nor drug sensitivity, and high expression does not establish benefit. Pass normalized expression and a group key; None summarizes all cells together.

builtin_drug_targets()

Return a copy of 15 illustrative drug-associated gene sets.

These include targets, resistance and response-associated genes without direction or potency weights. They are not a validated response signature.

cadrres(adata, *, cluster_key, model_dir, drug_db='gdsc', n_drugs=10)

Return CaDRReS model scores using explicitly supplied trusted local models.

Requires omicverse's Drug_Response adapter and a CaDRReS-Sc checkout beside model_dir or under the home directory. Models are not bundled or downloaded; upstream download locations have not been validated. Temporary predictions do not modify model_dir. Score units and direction depend on the model.

run_info(table, *, keep: bool=True)

Return score interpretation; keep=False removes the table's run record.

top_drugs(table, *, n_top=10)

Return drug means across groups, ordered by decreasing descriptive/model score.

Ranking model scores this way preserves the CLI order, not clinical benefit.

top_drugs_figure(table, *, n_top=10)

Return a Figure labelled with expression or model-score units, without saving.

<!-- api:end -->

Dependencies

anndata, matplotlib, numpy, omicverse, pandas, scanpy, scipy, seaborn

omicverse is needed only for the model-backed method. The default and notebook example use local expression means without CaDRReS.
