+## Workflow to perform gene panel selection (CRITICAL — STRICT COMPLIANCE REQUIRED)
+
+When performing gene panel selection, you are the **sole executor** of the entire selection pipeline.
+You must work **independently** using the detailed steps below. The leader provides only high-level context
+(dataset path, biological context, panel size, criteria). You execute ALL steps in order without skipping or abbreviating any.
+
+Before starting, read the full skill file: `.pantheon/skills/omics/gene_panel_selection.md` (or use `glob` with `pattern="**/omics/gene_panel_selection.md"`).
+**Re-read it before each major step** to ensure strict compliance.
+
+### Step 0: Dataset
+If no AnnData path was provided, you **must** search and retrieve a relevant dataset before proceeding.
+
+> [!IMPORTANT]
+> Before searching, read the database access skill index:
+> `.pantheon/skills/omics/database_access/SKILL.md` (or use `glob` with `pattern="**/database_access/SKILL.md"`)
+> Then read the specific skill files: `cellxgene_census.md` (PRIMARY) and `gget.md` (fallback).
+
+**Search strategy** (follow the detailed sub-steps in the gene_panel_selection skill, Step 0):
+1. **Parse the user query** — extract organism, tissue, disease, cell types of interest from the leader's context.
+   **Critically, determine the task scope**: is it focused (single tissue/disease) or broad (multi-tissue/cross-disease)?
+2. **Search CELLxGENE Census first** — largest curated single-cell collection (217M+ cells), returns AnnData directly.
+   Always filter `is_primary_data == True`. First look for existing atlases matching the task scope,
+   then explore metadata and download with refined filters.
+   **Match dataset scope to task scope** — for a broad task, the dataset must cover ALL relevant
+   tissues/diseases/contexts; do NOT narrow to a single one. Downsample per category if too large.
+3. **Fallback to gget.cellxgene / GEO** — if Census lacks suitable data (rare tissue, spatial data needed, etc.)
+4. **Validate** — ensure sufficient cells (>10k), relevant cell types, appropriate biological diversity, and save to workdir
+
+If a dataset path was provided, use it directly and skip to Step 1.
+
+### Step 1: Dataset Understanding & Splitting
+
+#### 1.1 Basic structure
+Inspect file format, cell/gene counts, batches/conditions, `.obs`/`.var`/`.obsm`/`.uns`.
+Identify `label_key` (true cell type recommended if present), batch/condition columns, and whether `adata.X` is raw counts or normalized.
+
+#### 1.2 Downsampling (CRITICAL)
+- If > 500k cells: downsample preserving all cell types (stratified by `label_key`)
+- If > 30000 genes: reduce to <= 30000 via QC/HVG
+- Save downsampled adata via `file_manager`
+- This downsampled dataset becomes the **only input** for algorithmic selection methods
+- Keep full gene list available for biological lookup during curation
+
+#### 1.3 Splitting
+Split into: **1 training dataset** (diversified) + **at least 5 test batches**.
+Constraint: each split **< 50k cells**. Preserve all cell type distribution. Maximize non-redundancy.
+
+#### 1.4–1.5 Preprocessing
+Check normalization/PCA/UMAP/clustering status. Recompute only if missing or invalid.
+If needed: QC → normalize/log1p/scale → PCA → neighbors → UMAP → batch correction (if needed) → Leiden clustering → DEG & marker detection → cell type annotation → marker plots (dotplots, heatmaps).
+
+> [!IMPORTANT]
+> If notebook kernel crashes due to scale, use `python_interpreter` without reducing data complexity. Report this explicitly.
+
+---
+
+### Step 2: Algorithmic Gene Panel Selection 
+
+Run ALL of these methods (unless user requests specific ones): **HVG, DE, Random Forest, scGeneFit, SpaPROS**
+
+- Use true cell type as `label_key` whenever available
+- Implement HVG / DE via Scanpy in code
+- For advanced methods, **always use** `gene_panel_selection_tool` toolset:
+  - `select_scgenefit` (**ALWAYS**: `max_constraints <= 1000`)
+  - `select_spapros` (**ALWAYS**: `n_hvg < 3000`)
+  - `select_random_forest`
+- **Always request gene scores** from each method
+- **Save each method's score table to CSV** on disk
+
+---
+
+### Step 3: Optimal SEED Panel Discovery (Algorithmic)
+
+For **each method independently** (HVG, DE, scGeneFit, RF, SpaPROS):
+
+Let N be the target final panel size requested by the leader.
+
+1. Load the method-specific gene score CSV and rank genes by score (descending)
+2. Build candidate sub-panels of sizes K ∈ {100, 200, …, N} by taking the top-K ranked genes
+3. For each K:
+   - Subset dataset to panel genes: `adata_K = adata[:, panel_genes]`
+   - Recompute neighbors + Leiden on `adata_K` (same preprocessing policy across K)
+   - Compute **ARI** between Leiden clusters and true cell types (`label_key`)
+4. Plot **ARI vs K** for each method
+5. Identify stable ARI plateau and consistently high performance
+6. Pick the **seed panel** = (method, K*) with the best ARI
+
+> [!CRITICAL]
+> You **MUST** investigate ARI vs panel size for **ALL** methods to find the truly best one.
+> This step uses the **training** adata only.
+
+---
+
+### Step 4: Curation Logic (STRICT ORDER)
+
+#### Phase 1 — Seed Panel (Algorithmic)
+- Use the optimal seed panel identified in Step 3
+- Do **NOT** modify genes in the seed
+
+#### Phase 2 — Completion (Biological lookup is the PRIMARY mechanism)
+
+> [!CRITICAL]
+> **Biological curation is the MAIN completion mechanism, NOT consensus fill.**
+> The purpose of completion is to add biologically meaningful genes that algorithmic methods may have missed.
+> Consensus fill is ONLY a small last-resort gap filler.
+
+
+**4.0 Completion Rule**:
+Before adding a batch of genes to the panel:
+- Test whether the additions make ARI drop considerably or become less stable (on training data)
+- If completing the panel up to size **N** degrades performance substantially (eg ARI drop >5%), propose:
+  - An optimal stable panel (< N)
+  - A supplemental gene list to reach N if the user requires it
+- A modest ARI drop is acceptable if it adds important biological coverage
+
+**4.1 Assess Seed Coverage First**:
+Before doing biological lookup, inspect genes already in the seed panel:
+- Map seed gene IDs to gene symbols
+- Identify which biological categories from the leader's context are already partially covered
+- Note which categories are MISSING or under-represented
+
+**4.2 Exhaustive Biological Lookup (CRITICAL — MUST BE THOROUGH)**:
+Derive the relevant biological categories from the **leader-provided context** (e.g., cell type markers, signaling pathways, functional states, disease-specific genes — whatever the user's goal requires).
+
+Call `browser_use` **MULTIPLE times**, once per major biological category identified.
+For **each category**, collect **all** well-established marker genes (typically 10-30+ per category, not just 3-5).
+Sources: GeneCards, GO, UniProt, KEGG, Reactome, MSigDB, published marker gene lists, review articles.
+
+> [!IMPORTANT]
+> A single `browser_use` call returning a handful of genes for an entire panel is INSUFFICIENT.
+> The number of biologically curated genes should scale with the gap between seed size and target N.
+> Do multiple rounds of lookup — breadth across ALL relevant categories AND depth within each.
+
+**4.3 Add Biologically Relevant Genes**:
+For each candidate gene from the biological lookup:
+- Check it is not already in the seed panel
+- Ensure no redundancy with genes already added
+- Categorize it into a relevant biological category
+- Add it to the panel
+- After each batch of additions, check the Completion Rule (ARI stability on training)
+- If ARI drops sharply after a batch, remove that batch and try a different set
+- Continue until all important biological genes are added or panel reaches size N
+
+**4.4 Consensus Fill (LAST RESORT ONLY — small gap filler)**:
+Only if after exhaustive biological lookup, `{seed + biological genes} < N`:
+1. Normalize scores per method (same scale, no method dominates)
+2. Aggregate into a consensus table
+3. Fill the small remaining gap by consensus score priority
+
+
+
+**Deliverable**: a gene × {method where it comes from, biological category, biological function, source/reference} table.
+
+> [!IMPORTANT]
+> Every accepted gene must be **justified**, assigned a **biological category**, and referenced with a source
+> (seed/method, literature, or website reference) and a gene function description.
+
+---
+
+### Step 5: Benchmarking (MANDATORY)
+
+#### 5.0 Panel Comparison
+Create an **UpSet plot** for all N-size algorithmic panels to visualize overlap.
+
+#### 5.1 Dataset
+Benchmarking is performed on **test datasets** (from Step 1.3).
+
+#### 5.2 Metrics
+For each test split, compute metrics for:
+1. All algorithmic **N**-size panels
+2. Final curated **N**-size panel
+3. If curated N was not optimal per Completion Rule: also benchmark the optimal stable (< N) panel
+4. Full gene set baseline
+
+Compute:
+- Leiden over-clustering on panel genes
+- **ARI, NMI** between Leiden and true labels
+- **Silhouette Index** using Leiden assignments
+
+Plots: **one figure per metric**, boxplots, high-quality formatting.
+
+#### 5.3 UMAP Comparison
+Compute UMAPs for: full genes (reference), each algorithmic N-size panel, curated panel, and optimal stable panel if applicable.
+Compare vs reference: qualitatively + quantitatively (distance correlation / Procrustes-like metrics).
+
+---
+
+### Step 6: Summarizing & Reporting
+
+Write `report_analysis.md` including the full workflow (Steps 0–5) with at minimum:
+
+- **Objective & context** (from leader instructions, with your interpretation)
+- **Dataset description** (adata structure, labels, preprocessing status)
+- **Algorithmic methods run** (HVG/DE/RF/scGeneFit/SpaPROS): what each optimizes (detailed)
+- **Sub-panel selection**:
+  - ARI vs size curves per method
+  - UpSet plot of different panels (overlaps)
+  - Selection decision (method + size) and why
+- **Consensus table construction**:
+  - Score normalization choice
+  - Aggregation rule
+  - Resulting ranked list
+- **Curation & completion reasoning (step-by-step)**:
+  - Per added gene: lookup → match to context → accept/reject
+  - Redundancy checks + biological category balance
+  - **All biological references** (links/citations)
+- **Benchmarking results**:
+  - UpSet plot comparing algorithmic panels and curated panel
+  - ARI/NMI/SI boxplots across test subsets
+  - UMAP comparisons + quantitative similarity metrics
+  - Interpretation of performance differences
+
+**Mandatory tables**:
+1. Recap of final panel (all N genes):
+
+| Gene | Methods where it appears | Biological Function | Relevance score |
+|------|--------------------------|----------------------|-----------------|
+
+2. Per-category count recap table based on the biological context.
+
+**Mandatory figures**: ARI vs size curves, UpSet plot, ARI/NMI/SI boxplots, UMAP comparisons.
+
+Then call `reporter` to generate a well-written PDF as final deliverable.
