What it does

Multiomics Statistics is an agent skill from VectorSpaceLab/AREX-Skill. Use for OmicVerse bulk RNA-seq, enrichment/signature scoring, metabolomics, proteomics, microbiome, and statistical table workflows.

Its SKILL.md is about 1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 7 other files, including scripts and reference files (for example `references/api-reference.md`, `references/data-formats.md` and `references/statistical-workflows.md`).

It sits in Research & Science, covering Bioinformatics and Statistics. It works with Model Context Protocol and AnnData. The repository describes itself as: A Skill Library for Automated Machine Learning. The licence is GPL-3.0.

When your agent uses it

  • OmicVerse bulk RNA-seq
  • Enrichment/signature scoring
  • Statistical table workflows

Example prompts

  • “/multiomics-statistics”

Requirements

  • Python 3

Workflow steps

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

  1. Identify the omics family and validate orientation before loading data. Most ov.metabol, ov.protein, and ov.micro APIs expect AnnData with…
  2. Check sample IDs and design columns before any statistical call. Run the bundled checker for matrix-plus-metadata workflows
  3. Choose a conservative local workflow first. Do not assume KEGG, HMDB, ChEBI, LION, Enrichr, or other remote resources are safe or…
  4. Use optional backends deliberately. If pydeseq2, pymfuzz, pydeqms, pyimputelcmd, pyproda, pylipidr, pygoslin, or scikit-bio is missing…
  5. Keep outputs as explicit tables. Record result column semantics such as pvalue, padj, qvalue, log2FC, P.Value, adj.P.Val, score_, and…

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit ac3fe1a. 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 1 file in scripts/ (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

Multiomics Statistics loads about 1k tokens when it runs, and up to ~11k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 39 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
~39
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~11k

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); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

Multiomics Statistics

Use this sub-skill when the task is table-centric rather than single-cell, spatial, alignment, genetics, AIRR, molecular, CLI, or MCP runtime work. Start at the root routing skill if the task crosses domains.

When to Use

  • Bulk RNA-seq differential expression, offline ORA/GSEA, WGCNA-style modules, or time-course statistics with ov.bulk.
  • Gene-set/signature scoring on AnnData or data frames with ov.es.aucell, ov.es.ucell, ov.es.ora, ov.es.decouple, ov.es.decoupler, or ov.es.consensus.
  • Metabolomics workflows from wide peak tables or MetaboAnalyst-style CSVs through QC, normalization, differential testing, PLS-DA, pathway enrichment, and biomarker panels.
  • Proteomics workflows from MaxQuant, DIA-NN, FragPipe, Olink, or wide intensity tables through QC, normalization, imputation, and differential testing.
  • Microbiome workflows using samples-by-taxa AnnData for alpha/beta diversity, ordination, differential abundance, meta-analysis, and paired microbe-metabolite statistics.

Safe Operating Pattern

  1. Identify the omics family and validate orientation before loading data. Most ov.metabol, ov.protein, and ov.micro APIs expect AnnData with samples in rows and features in columns; many ov.bulk.pyDEG inputs use genes in rows and samples in columns.

  2. Check sample IDs and design columns before any statistical call. Run the bundled checker for matrix-plus-metadata workflows:

    bash
    python sub-skills/multiomics-statistics/scripts/check_multiomics_table.py matrix.tsv --metadata metadata.tsv --sample-id-column sample --required-metadata-cols group,batch
  3. Choose a conservative local workflow first. Do not assume KEGG, HMDB, ChEBI, LION, Enrichr, or other remote resources are safe or available unless the user explicitly authorizes network access.

  4. Use optional backends deliberately. If pydeseq2, pymfuzz, pydeqms, pyimputelcmd, pyproda, pylipidr, pygoslin, or scikit-bio is missing, either install the narrow extra required by the workflow or switch to a pure-Python fallback documented in the API reference.

  5. Keep outputs as explicit tables. Record result column semantics such as pvalue, padj, qvalue, log2FC, P.Value, adj.P.Val, score_<method>, and padj_<method> before handing off to plotting or reporting.
