What it does

Tooluniverse Spatial Transcriptomics is an agent skill from wu-yc/LabClaw. Analyze spatial transcriptomics data to map gene expression in tissue architecture. Supports 10x Visium, MERFISH, seqFISH, Slide-seq, and imaging-based platforms. Performs spatial clustering, domain identification, cell-cell proximity analysis, spatial gene expression patterns, tissue architecture mapping, and integration with single-cell data. Use when analyzing spatial transcriptomics datasets, studying tissue organization, identifying spatial expression patterns, mapping cell-cell interactions in tissue…

Its SKILL.md is about 6k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Research & Science, covering Bioinformatics. The repository describes itself as: LabClaw – Operating Layer for LabOS (Stanford-Princeton AI Co-Scientists).

When your agent uses it

  • Analyzing spatial transcriptomics datasets
  • Studying tissue organization
  • Identifying spatial expression patterns
  • Mapping cell-cell interactions in tissue context

Example prompts

  • “/tooluniverse-spatial-transcriptomics”

Requirements

  • Python 3

Workflow steps

8 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Data Import & Quality Control
  2. Preprocessing & Normalization
  3. Spatial Clustering
  4. Spatially Variable Genes
  5. Neighborhood Analysis
  6. Integration with Single-Cell RNA-seq
  7. Spatial Cell Communication
  8. Spatial Report Generation

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit df37802. 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

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are python and markdown).

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):

    • doi.org
    • 10xgenomics.com

    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

Tooluniverse Spatial Transcriptomics loads about 6k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 175 tokens; SKILL.md has 766 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~175
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~6k

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.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 766 words (~5,976 tokens).

“Comprehensive analysis of spatially-resolved transcriptomics data to understand gene expression patterns in tissue architecture context. Combines expression profiling with spatial coordinates to reveal tissue organization, cell-cell interactions, and spatially variable genes.”
