dismech: Skill for Claude Code

.claude/skills/disease-classification/SKILL.md

disease-classification is a skill for Claude Code from monarch-initiative/dismech. It costs 70 tokens per session (7,131 once invoked), scanned A, original, BSD-3-Clause.

A curation tool for adding controlled disease-classification fields to DisMech, a disease knowledge base. It covers medical taxonomy labels such as disease mechanisms, immune deficiencies, lysosomal storage disorders, and tumor morphology.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to assign Harrison's medical-text sections, disease-mechanism categories, immune-deficiency categories, lysosomal-storage categories, channelopathy categories, and ICD-O morphology values.
Why use it?
It helps curators use the allowed classification terms instead of free text that could fail validation. It also explains which classification fields appear on a disease page.

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

disease-classification 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 4d 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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 536 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Adding classifications

The classifications block carries multiple disease-taxonomy assignments, each ranged by its own enum. Curators populate the slot(s) most relevant to the disease — most entries will set harrisons_chapter plus zero or more of the more specific category slots (mechanistic_category, lysosomal_storage_category, etc.).

classifications:
  harrisons_chapter:
  - classification_value: ENDOCRINOLOGY_METABOLISM
  - classification_value: GENETICS_ENVIRONMENT_DISEASE
  mechanistic_category:
  - classification_value: tauopathy

All classification_value slots are enum-typed: free-text values will fail schema validation. Use the controlled keys below.

Every slot in DiseaseClassifications renders on the disorder page automatically — the Classifications card is generated from the schema, labelled by each slot's LinkML title, and grouped by slot_group. You do not need to touch the template when curating, and a slot you populate will never silently fail to appear.

Harrison's Part (harrisons_chapter)

Despite the slot name, the controlled vocabulary lives at the Part level of Harrison's Principles of Internal Medicine (21st edition), not at individual chapter granularity. The full enum is defined in src/dismech/schema/dismech.yaml as HarrisonsChapterEnum. The slot is multivalued — assign every Part that contains a relevant chapter.

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.

disease-classification is a skill published in the GitHub repository monarch-initiative/dismech (58 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed BSD-3-Clause. It adds 70 tokens to every session and 7,131 once invoked, about $0.0003 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.
