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.

A badge with what this costs and how it scanned, read live from this page, so it follows the numbers instead of freezing them. Markdown for a README, HTML for a documentation site or a project page.

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 | $0.00055 | $0.03396 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00028 | $0.01698 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00011 | $0.00679 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00006 | $0.00340 |
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 3d 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.
sudo apt install samtools bcftools ncbi-blast+ minimap2 bedtools This is a copy
94% identical to bioinformatics — 4 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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 236 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
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.

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.
- 3d ago First seen · 236 lines · 55 tokens per session scan B 36ae22f7783a
bioinformatics is a skill published in the GitHub repository chemany/Mente (11 stars, last pushed 3mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 55 tokens to every session and 3,396 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it B with 1 finding (asks for root). It is 94% identical to bioinformatics, differing in 4 lines, and is treated as a copy.
