biological-function-mapping

biological-function-mapping is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from yogsoth-ai/de-anthropocentric-research-engine. It costs 30 tokens per session (466 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A biology-inspired problem-solving workflow that translates a technical function into a biological question, finds organisms that perform a similar function, and models how they do it.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to find organisms with relevant abilities and map their biological mechanisms to technical functions.
Why use it?
It gives technical teams a structured way to look for ideas in nature instead of relying only on familiar engineering solutions.

These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →

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

biological-function-mapping 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 9d 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.

What it actually says

Biological Function Mapping

Map technical functions to biological systems via biologize→discover→model pipeline.

Stages

Stage 1: Problem Biologization

Translate the technical problem into a biological function need statement using problem-biologization SOP. Frame in terms of what function nature must achieve, not how.

Stage 2: Organism Discovery

Search for organisms that solve the biologized problem using organism-discovery SOP. Identify champion organisms across multiple phyla/kingdoms for diversity.

Stage 3: Functional Modeling

For each promising organism, build a functional model (energy/matter/information flows) using functional-model-biology SOP. Identify the mechanism that achieves the target function.

Minimum Yield

Metric Floor
Biological function statements ≥2
Organisms discovered ≥5
Biological systems mapped to technical functions ≥3
Functional models completed ≥3

Available SOPs

SOP Role
problem-biologization Stage 1 — translate technical→biological
organism-discovery Stage 2 — find champion organisms
functional-model-biology Stage 3 — build functional models
biological-strategy-extraction Post — extract transferable strategies
web-search Support — search for biological solutions
paper-overview Support — find academic biology sources

Available SOPs

Optional, no fixed order; the final leaf is always a sop.

SOP When to use
functional-model-biology Build biological system functional model. Map energy, matter, and information flows.
organism-discovery Find organisms solving similar problems. Search across kingdoms for biological champions.
problem-biologization Restate technical problem as biological question. Translate engineering challenges into nature's language.

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.
