Alterlab Anndata

alterlab-ieu/alterlab-anndata

Build, slice, concatenate, read, and write AnnData annotated data matrices (obs, var, X, layers, obsm, uns) — the scverse data STRUCTURE, not an analysis pipeline. Use when creating or wrangling .h5ad/zarr files, managing cell and gene annotations, concatenating batches, or handling layers/obsm/backed-mode; for the QC, normalization, clustering, UMAP, and differential-expression analysis pipeline prefer alterlab-scanpy instead, and for RNA velocity from spliced/unspliced layers prefer alterlab-scvelo instead. Part of the AlterLab Academic Skills suite.

How to use it

Copy the folder

Take alterlab-ieu/alterlab-anndata from the repository into ~/.claude/skills for personal use, or into .claude/skills inside a project.

Check the name does not clash

The agent identifies a skill by the name field in its header. Two skills with the same name cannot sit side by side — one of them will be ignored.

Install what it needs

The instructions reference pip, uv. Without those the skill loads but fails at the first command.
