Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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 | $0.00015 | $0.03372 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00008 | $0.01686 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00003 | $0.00674 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00002 | $0.00337 |
Grade B, and why
bioinformatics scanned grade B with 1 finding 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 7d 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.
Asks for rootmediumPrivilege escalation
A mod that escalates privileges can change anything on the machine, not only the project.

100% identical to bioinformatics — 0 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

Bioinformatics Skills Gateway
Use when asked about bioinformatics, genomics, sequencing, variant calling, gene expression, single-cell analysis, protein structure, pharmacogenomics, metagenomics, phylogenetics, or any computational biology task.
This skill is a gateway to two open-source bioinformatics skill libraries. Instead of bundling hundreds of domain-specific skills, it indexes them and fetches what you need on demand.
Sources
◆ bioSkills — 385 reference skills (code patterns, parameter guides, decision trees) Repo: https://github.com/GPTomics/bioSkills Format: SKILL.md per topic with code examples. Python/R/CLI.
◆ ClawBio — 33 runnable pipeline skills (executable scripts, reproducibility bundles) Repo: https://github.com/ClawBio/ClawBio Format: Python scripts with demos. Each analysis exports report.md + commands.sh + environment.yml.
How to fetch and use a skill
- Identify the domain and skill name from the index below.
- Clone the relevant repo (shallow clone to save time):
# bioSkills (reference material) git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/GPTomics/bioSkills.git /tmp/bioSkills # ClawBio (runnable pipelines) git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/ClawBio/ClawBio.git /tmp/ClawBio - Read the specific skill:
# bioSkills — each skill is at: <category>/<skill-name>/SKILL.md cat /tmp/bioSkills/variant-calling/gatk-variant-calling/SKILL.md # ClawBio — each skill is at: skills/<skill-name>/ cat /tmp/ClawBio/skills/pharmgx-reporter/README.md - Follow the fetched skill as reference material. These are NOT Hermes-format skills — treat them as expert domain guides. They contain correct parameters, proper tool flags, and validated pipelines.

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.
- 7d ago First seen · 238 lines · 15 tokens per session scan B cebf83e4740b
bioinformatics is a skill published in the GitHub repository aivrar/portable-hermes-agent (217 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 15 tokens to every session and 3,372 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it B with 1 finding (asks for root). It is 100% identical to bioinformatics, differing in 0 lines, and is treated as a copy.
