Individual skill
anndata
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.

# 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
