anndata SKILL.md skillA

This file is byte-identical to the first copy the registry indexed. Same content hash, so the same checks give both the same grade.

anndata from fridrichmethod/awesome-skills is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add fridrichmethod/awesome-skills/anndata@v1.4

Pins v1.4 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Handles annotated matrices in single-cell analysis, .h5ad and Zarr files, and integration with the scverse ecosystem. This is the data format skill—for analysis workflows use scanpy; for probabilistic models use scvi-tools; for population-scale queries use cellxgene-census.

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

# AnnData

## Overview

AnnData is a Python package for handling annotated data matrices, storing experimental measurements (X) alongside observation metadata (obs), variable metadata (var), and multi-dimensional annotations (obsm, varm, obsp, varp, uns). Originally designed for single-cell genomics through Scanpy, it now serves as a general-purpose framework for any annotated data requiring efficient storage, manipulation, and analysis.

## When to Use This Skill

Use this skill when:
- Creating, reading, or writing AnnData objects
- Working with h5ad, zarr, or other genomics data formats
- Performing single-cell RNA-seq analysis
- Managing large datasets with sparse matrices or backed mode
- Concatenating multiple datasets or experimental batches
- Subsetting, filtering, or transforming annotated data
- Integrating with scanpy, scvi-tools, or other scverse ecosystem tools

## Installation

Targets AnnData 0.13.4 (current PyPI release reviewed 2026-09-30), requiring Python
3.12+. Small synthetic checks cover dense/sparse matrices, native I/O, metadata,
concatenation, and lazy reads. File paths, biological analysis, remote stores, and

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add fridrichmethod/awesome-skills/anndata@sha256:a619c4088e1be6f6

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.4, 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.
