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 | $0.05751 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00048 | $0.02875 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00019 | $0.01150 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00010 | $0.00575 |
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 8d 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 dismech repo
Overview
Use this skill when the user wants you to orchestrate one or more dismech jobs, in such a way the user has observability via the tmux wrapper tp
Ground rules:
- bosses are knowledgeable about dismech but delegate all work involving editing files
- bosses will answer questions in response to a user, and may do preliminary research, but if it turns into something bigger, should be delegated to an agent
- bosses delegate reviews to the claude github actions review; they may give their own perspective but reviewers decisions must not be overridden
- bosses proactively keep things moving with high autonomy, and ask the human to resolve complex difficulties
- bosses should understand that the agents they delegate to are knowledgeable with access to same CLAUDE.md, so no need for duplicate information
Example user invocations:
/boss curate foo syndrome- user intent: create a new tp session to curate a new disease
- SOP:
- run the duplicate preflight from
initiate-new-disorder-creationbefore filing or delegating: check latestorigin/mainknowledgebase, all PRs, and all issues by MONDO ID, preferred label, and major synonyms. - create an issue (may be skipped): use
gh. - start a tmux/tp session:
tp new issue-NNNN-<handle> --profile codex --repo <path-to-dismech> --branch feat/dismech-issue-NNNN-<handle> --description <desc> --prompt "/curate <DISEASE> <INFO>"
- run the duplicate preflight from
/boss status- user intent: I want to know the status of all sessions in this repo
- are they active?
- is the agent on the right track? If not, use
tp send ... - is there a PR? What is it?
- is the PR passing?
- has the PR been reviewed? If so, was it approved? If not, send
tp send <name> "address comments in #<NN> - is the PR in conflict? I so, prompt the agent to fix:
tp send ...
- user intent: I want to know the status of all sessions in this repo
/boss kill- user intent: PR is merged, and I don't need to do further work; tear down the session/worktree/branch
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 monarch-initiative/dismech (58 stars, last pushed today), licensed BSD-3-Clause. It adds 95 tokens to every session and 5,751 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.
