computational-pathology-agent is a Claude skill that analyzes Whole Slide Images for digital pathology using deep-learning models for tissue segmentation and feature extraction.
About
This skill analyzes Whole Slide Images for digital pathology using deep-learning models such as ResNet, ViT, and HoverNet. A developer uses it to read and tile gigapixel histology files, separate tissue from background, extract patches for ML training or inference, and generate slide-level feature vectors. It integrates OpenSlide/TiffSlide for WSI handling and StarDist/HoverNet for cellular analysis.
- Analyzes Whole Slide Images (.svs, .ndpi, .tiff) for digital pathology
- Handles tissue segmentation, patch extraction, and nuclei segmentation via deep learning
- Extracts slide-level feature vectors for downstream ML clustering

Computational Pathology Agent
Version: 1.0.0 Author: MD BABU MIA, PhD Date: February 2026
Overview
This agent specializes in the analysis of Whole Slide Images (WSIs) for digital pathology. It leverages Deep Learning models (ResNet, ViT, HoverNet) to perform segmentation, classification, and feature extraction from gigapixel histology images.
Capabilities
1. WSI Handling: Efficient reading/tiling of .svs, .ndpi, .tiff files (using OpenSlide/TiffSlide). 2. Tissue Segmentation: Separation of tissue from background. 3. Patch Extraction: Automated generation of patches for ML training/inference. 4. Nuclei Segmentation: Integration with StarDist/HoverNet for cellular analysis. 5. Feature Extraction: Generating feature vectors for slide-level clustering.
Usage
