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

biomni 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 10d 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.

Biomni

Overview

Biomni is an open-source biomedical AI agent framework from Stanford's SNAP lab that autonomously executes complex research tasks across biomedical domains. Use this skill when working on multi-step biological reasoning tasks, analyzing biomedical data, or conducting research spanning genomics, drug discovery, molecular biology, and clinical analysis.

Core Capabilities

Biomni excels at:

  1. Multi-step biological reasoning - Autonomous task decomposition and planning for complex biomedical queries
  2. Code generation and execution - Dynamic analysis pipeline creation for data processing
  3. Knowledge retrieval - Access to ~11GB of integrated biomedical databases and literature
  4. Cross-domain problem solving - Unified interface for genomics, proteomics, drug discovery, and clinical tasks

When to Use This Skill

Use biomni for:

  • CRISPR screening - Design screens, prioritize genes, analyze knockout effects
  • Single-cell RNA-seq - Cell type annotation, differential expression, trajectory analysis
  • Drug discovery - ADMET prediction, target identification, compound optimization
  • GWAS analysis - Variant interpretation, causal gene identification, pathway enrichment
  • Clinical genomics - Rare disease diagnosis, variant pathogenicity, phenotype-genotype mapping
  • Lab protocols - Protocol optimization, literature synthesis, experimental design

Quick Start

Installation and Setup

Install Biomni and configure API keys for LLM providers:

uv pip install biomni --upgrade

Configure API keys (store in .env file or environment variables):

export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY="your-key-here"
# Optional: OpenAI, Azure, Google, Groq, AWS Bedrock keys

Use scripts/setup_environment.py for interactive setup assistance.

Basic Usage Pattern

from biomni.agent import A1

# Initialize agent with data path and LLM choice
agent = A1(path='./data', llm='claude-sonnet-4-20250514')

# Execute biomedical task autonomously
agent.go("Your biomedical research question or task")

# Save conversation history and results
agent.save_conversation_history("report.pdf")

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.

biomni is a skill published in the GitHub repository Zaoqu-Liu/ScienceClaw (60 stars, last pushed 5mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 82 tokens to every session and 2,445 once invoked, about $0.0004 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.
