dismech: Skill for Claude Code

.claude/skills/somatic-mosaicism/SKILL.md

somatic-mosaicism is a skill for Claude Code from monarch-initiative/dismech. It costs 146 tokens per session (985 once invoked), scanned A, original, BSD-3-Clause.

A data-curation guide for recording somatic mosaicism, where a genetic change occurs after fertilisation and is present in only some cells, in Disease entries. It defines the terms and evidence fields needed to make these disorders searchable.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when curating disorders such as Proteus syndrome, CLOVES, VEXAS, or Sturge-Weber syndrome, including whether the causal change is somatic, germline, or both.
Why use it?
It prevents the same medical fact from being stored inconsistently as free text, a pedigree label, or an unrelated category. Consistent records let queries find mosaic disorders reliably.

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

somatic-mosaicism 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 20d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 75 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Somatic Mosaicism

A disorder whose causal variant arose after fertilization is encoded through its mode of inheritance, the way a digenic one is, so the set can be recovered by query. Before this convention the flagship entries said the same thing four ways (an HP term, a block bound to Sporadic, a free-text "Not applicable" block, prose only) and none of them could be found.

The convention

  1. Add an inheritance block whose inheritance_term is bound to HP:0001442 Typified by somatic mosaicism, with its own snippet-backed evidence. The usual quote is the paired lesion-versus-blood sequencing sentence or a tissue-restricted allele-fraction sentence.
  2. Set variant_origin: SOMATIC on the causal genetic: row, or GERMLINE_AND_SOMATIC for a two-hit repressor. DE_NOVO is for a germline de novo variant present in every cell.
  3. Keep category in the standard vocabulary (Genetic). Never Mendelian for an obligate-mosaic disorder, and never an ad hoc Somatic mosaic; the mosaic claim lives in the bound term.

HP:0003745 Sporadic is not a substitute: it describes the pedigree, not the mechanism.

Worked example: VEXAS_Syndrome (acquired clonal); Sturge-Weber_Syndrome (congenital obligate mosaic); Tuberous_Sclerosis_Complex (mosaic arm beside an autosomal dominant block).

Two tiers, and what is not a tier

Situation Encode Grouping member?
The disease is the mosaic (no germline form exists) one HP:0001442 block yes
A germline disease has a recognized mosaic arm described in the literature a second HP:0001442 block beside the germline block; do not replace it yes
One mosaic proband in a case report bind HP:0001442 on that block if curated; it is a true observation no
Parental or gonadal mosaicism explaining recurrence bind HP:0001442 if curated; the child's disease is constitutional no
Functional mosaicism from X inactivation do not bind HP:0001442; free-text preferred_term and say why (CHILD_Syndrome) no
Mosaic aneuploidy as a downstream phenotype of a germline gene (mosaic variegated aneuploidy) ordinary germline inheritance no

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.

somatic-mosaicism is a skill published in the GitHub repository monarch-initiative/dismech (69 stars, last pushed today), licensed BSD-3-Clause. It adds 146 tokens to every session and 985 once invoked, about $0.0006 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 2026-10-05.
