dismech: Skill for Claude Code

.claude/skills/boss/SKILL.md

boss is a skill for Claude Code from monarch-initiative/dismech. It costs 95 tokens per session (5,751 once invoked), scanned A, original, BSD-3-Clause.

An orchestration guide for coordinating multiple coding agents in tmux sessions, which are terminal workspaces that can keep several processes visible and running. It is tailored to jobs in the dismech repository.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when explicitly acting as an orchestrator for parallel Codex or Claude Code tasks in dismech.
Why use it?
It provides a defined way to delegate work while keeping the agent sessions observable and organized.

Skill for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: installed under .claude/. Also seen: mentions CLAUDE.md; mentions subagents; names the TodoWrite tool.

This is monarch-initiative/dismech's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on dismech itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything dismech configures →

Not installable: its command points at a path on the author’s own machine, so it runs nowhere else. The line is /Users/cjm/worktrees/dismech-curate-prpf31.

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

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-creation before filing or delegating: check latest origin/main knowledgebase, 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>"
  • /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 ...
  • /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.
