Alterlab Flowio

alterlab-ieu/alterlab-flowio

Parse and write FCS (Flow Cytometry Standard) files v2.0-3.1 with FlowIO — extract event data as NumPy arrays, read $-keyword metadata and channel/parameter definitions, and convert events to CSV or pandas DataFrame. Use when loading raw .fcs flow-cytometry files, inspecting channels and metadata, or preprocessing cytometry data for downstream gating and analysis. Part of the AlterLab Academic Skills suite.

How to use it

Copy the folder

Take alterlab-ieu/alterlab-flowio 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.
