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 | $0.00076 | $0.03374 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00030 | $0.01350 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00015 | $0.00675 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00008 | $0.00337 |
Grade A, and why
biopython 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 1mo 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.

No licence file
A repository with no LICENSE is all rights reserved by default, so the body is not copied here. The metadata, the measurements and the link are.
What ships with it
7 files 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.

biopython is a skill published in the GitHub repository MarieLynneBlock/arcanum-artifex (4 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), with no licence file. It adds 76 tokens to every session and 3,374 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5.5. 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 2026-09-03.

biopython
Comprehensive molecular biology toolkit. Use for sequence manipulation, file parsing (FASTA/GenBank/PDB), phylogenetics, and programmatic NCBI/PubMed access (Bio.Entrez). Best for batch processing, custom bioinformatics pipelines, BLAST automation. For quick lookups use gget; for multi-service integration use…
cudaq-importing
Use when porting circuits from another framework (e.g. Qiskit) into CUDA-Q kernels while preserving the source algorithm and validation fidelity.
cuopt-numerical-optimization-api
LP, MILP, and QP (beta) with cuOpt — Python, C, and CLI. Use when the user is solving LP, MILP, or QP with any cuOpt interface.
cupynumeric-install
Install and verify cuPyNumeric for Python — requirements, commands, verification. Source builds are out of scope.
quantum-vqe
A runnable guide to the variational quantum eigensolver (VQE), a quantum algorithm that estimates the lowest energy of a mathematical system by adjusting a parameterized circuit. It uses Pauli Hamiltonians, a specified circuit form, and SciPy optimization.
quantum-vqls
A runnable guide to the variational quantum linear solver (VQLS), a quantum method that estimates a solution to a system of linear equations by optimizing a parameterized circuit. It uses Qiskit and reports the numerical residual and why optimization stopped.
