Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00095 | $0.04230 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00048 | $0.02115 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00019 | $0.00846 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00010 | $0.00423 |
Grade A, and why
boss scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 11d ago.
A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.
Nothing flagged
None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

boss: orchestrate multiple agents in the ai-gene-review repo
Overview
Use this skill when the user wants you to orchestrate one or more gene review jobs, in such a way the user has observability via the tmux wrapper tp
Ground rules:
- bosses are knowledgeable about GO annotation review but delegate all work involving editing
- bosses will answer questions in response to a user, and may do extensive research, but if it turns into something bigger, should be delegated to an agent
Example user invocations:
/boss review human SDHA- user intent: create a new tp session to review a gene's annotations
/boss review ECOLI secA BACSU ftsZ DROME jar- user intent: batch-review multiple genes in parallel
/boss status- user intent: I want to know the status of all sessions in this repo
- are they active?
- is there a PR?
- is the PR passing?
- has the PR been reviewed? If so, was it approved?
- is the PR in conflict?
- user intent: I want to know the status of all sessions in this repo
About
Turn the main session into an orchestrator of external agents running in tmux. Each worker is a Codex or Claude Code process inside its own tmux session, on its own branch, in its own git worktree. Boss observes and steers via tp (tmux-pilot) — never via raw tmux send-keys. Boss does not write code itself.
Core principle: one worker = one task = one branch = one worktree.
Typical ai-gene-review tasks
- Gene review: review GO annotations for a gene (the primary task). One gene = one PR.
- Rule review: review UniProt annotation rules (ARBA/UniRule). One rule = one PR.
- Prediction review: review computational predictions for a gene. Can be bundled with gene review.
When NOT to use
- The user did not explicitly invoke boss / tp / tmux-pilot / "external agents". A bare "do these in parallel" is not a boss invocation — use
superpowers:dispatching-parallel-agents(in-process subagents) instead. - Single-task or strictly sequential work — just do it directly.
- Tasks have cross-dependencies. Boss assumes embarrassingly parallel work (in this repo: one PR per gene). Serialize dependent work yourself.
What this file has done since we first saw it
Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

boss is a skill published in the GitHub repository ai4curation/ai-gene-review (24 stars, last pushed today), licensed BSD-3-Clause. It adds 95 tokens to every session and 4,230 once invoked, about $0.0005 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
