flowio SKILL.md skillA

flowio from k-dense-ai/scientific-agent-skills is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add k-dense-ai/scientific-agent-skills/flowio@v2.3

Pins v2.3 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Reads, inspects, and writes Flow Cytometry Standard (FCS) 2.0, 3.0, and 3.1 files with FlowIO. Use for low-level FCS metadata and channel inspection, NumPy event extraction, multi-dataset files, table export, and FCS 3.1 creation; use FlowKit for compensation, cytometry transforms, gating, or FlowJo workspaces.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# FlowIO

## Purpose

Use FlowIO as a lightweight, low-level reader and writer for Flow Cytometry
Standard files. Examples in this skill target **FlowIO 1.4.0**, the current
stable release verified on 2026-09-30.
Standalone FlowIO checks used Python 3.13, NumPy 2.5.3, and pandas 3.0.6.

FlowIO is appropriate for:

- Reading FCS 2.0, 3.0, and 3.1 files
- Inspecting HEADER, TEXT, ANALYSIS, and channel metadata
- Retrieving event data as a two-dimensional NumPy array
- Reading legacy files that contain multiple datasets
- Writing list-mode, single-precision FCS 3.1 files
- Preparing data for pandas, machine-learning, or downstream cytometry tools

FlowIO does **not** perform compensation, logicle/biexponential transforms,
gating, clustering, or FlowJo workspace processing. Use FlowKit or another
analysis package for those tasks.

## Install

Create or activate a Python environment, then install the verified release:

```bash
uv pip install "flowio==1.4.0"
```

Confirm the runtime version:

```bash
uv run python -c "import flowio; print(flowio.__version__)"
```

FlowIO 1.4.0 supports Python 3.9 through 3.13 and depends on NumPy.

## Operating Workflow
…

Read the whole file at its exact version.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add k-dense-ai/scientific-agent-skills/flowio@sha256:24247696d4e9455f

The line at the top of this page pins the label v2.3, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
