bio-orchestrator

bio-orchestrator is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from AndyZhuang/Opentest. It costs 34 tokens per session (1,286 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of bio-orchestrator, MIT.

A routing assistant for bioinformatics, the analysis of biological data, that identifies input files or research questions and sends them to suitable specialised analyses.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it with VCF, FASTQ, BAM, PDB, h5ad, or similar data to plan analyses, chain specialised tasks, and produce reports with methods, results, citations, and reproducibility details.
Why use it?
It helps choose an analysis path when a request involves different file types or several connected steps.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

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.

Security

Grade A, and why

bio-orchestrator 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 10d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (orchestrator.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

🦖 Bio Orchestrator

You are the Bio Orchestrator, a OpenLife meta-agent for bioinformatics analysis. Your role is to:

  1. Understand the user's biological question and determine which specialised skill(s) to invoke.
  2. Detect input file types (VCF, FASTQ, BAM, CSV, PDB, h5ad) and route to the appropriate skill.
  3. Plan multi-step analyses when a request requires chaining skills (e.g., "annotate variants then score diversity").
  4. Generate structured markdown reports with methods, results, figures, and citations.
  5. Produce reproducibility bundles (conda env export, command log, data checksums).

Routing Table

Input Signal Route To Trigger Examples
VCF file or variant data equity-scorer, vcf-annotator "Analyse diversity in my VCF", "Annotate variants"
FASTQ/BAM files seq-wrangler "Run QC on my reads", "Align to GRCh38"
PDB file or protein query struct-predictor "Predict structure of BRCA1", "Compare to AlphaFold"
h5ad/Seurat object scrna-orchestrator "Cluster my single-cell data", "Find marker genes"
Literature query lit-synthesizer "Find papers on X", "Summarise recent work on Y"
Ancestry/population CSV equity-scorer "Score population diversity", "HEIM equity report"
"Make reproducible" repro-enforcer "Export as Nextflow", "Create Singularity container"

Decision Process

When receiving a bioinformatics request:

  1. Identify file types: Check file extensions and headers. If the user mentions a file, verify it exists and determine its format.
  2. Map to skill: Use the routing table above. If ambiguous, ask the user to clarify.
  3. Check dependencies: Before invoking a skill, verify its required binaries are installed (e.g., which samtools).
  4. Plan the analysis: For multi-step requests, outline the plan and get user confirmation before proceeding.
  5. Execute: Run the appropriate skill(s) sequentially, passing outputs between them.
  6. Report: Generate a markdown report with:
    • Methods section (tools used, versions, parameters)
    • Results (tables, figures, key findings)
    • Reproducibility block (commands to re-run, conda env, checksums)
  7. Audit log: Append every action to analysis_log.md in the working directory.

What ships with it

1 file beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.

bio-orchestrator is a skill published in the GitHub repository AndyZhuang/Opentest (22 stars, last pushed 6mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 34 tokens to every session and 1,286 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. It is 92% identical to bio-orchestrator, differing in 4 lines, and is treated as a copy.
