Overview

Rare-disease DomainOS: ACMG classification, de novo / compound-het calling, Mendelian trio analysis, and exome diagnosis. Graduated 2026-04-12 (ADR-009) with ~15 skills and 887 passing tests.

Scientific approach

rare-os structures every run as 5 phases. Gates marked HITL require an explicit human-in-the-loop approval before the run advances.

# Phase Gate HITL
1 Trio Assembly Assemble proband and parental samples. No
2 Variant Calling Call and joint-genotype exome variants. No
3 Inheritance Filtering Filter de novo / compound-het / recessive. No
4 ACMG Classification Classify variants per ACMG criteria. No
5 Diagnostic Report Approve the diagnostic interpretation. Yes

Capabilities & evidence objects

Domain tools / skills

  • acmg-classifier
  • de-novo-caller
  • compound-het
  • trio-analysis

Evidence objects

Object Role Consumer
result.json produces co-writer
provenance.json produces evidence-audit

Canonical artifacts (5-artifact contract)

Planned

The 5-artifact contract below is the target shape. Canonical-artifact emission is tracked as inherited debt (Wave 3C) and is not yet guaranteed.

Artifact Description
result.json Structured primary result payload for the domain run.
report.md Human-readable narrative summary of the analysis.
provenance.json Tool versions, reference data, and algorithm lineage for reproducibility.
gate_status.json Per-phase gate pass/fail decisions.
session_summary.json Session metadata for replay and audit.

Standalone quickstart

Zero platform dependency

This quickstart runs the DomainOS standalone. The Hordago platform is not required; platform composition is opt-in (see Composition below).

  1. Install the standalone rare-os plugin (Hordago-Labs/rare-os) -- no Hordago platform required.
  2. Invoke the domain skill with a rare-os intent (see the intent keywords below).
  3. Review the emitted artifacts under the run's output directory.

Worked example

Exome trio diagnosis with ACMG classification

A user submits a proband-parents exome trio for a diagnostic odyssey. rare-os calls variants, filters by inheritance model, classifies candidates against ACMG criteria, and drafts a diagnostic report for sign-off.

Validation & benchmarks

Benchmarks

  • ACMG classification concordance
  • De novo precision/recall

Reproducibility. provenance.json pins transcript set and ACMG rule versions.

Composition

Platform opt-in

rare-os runs standalone. When composed under the Hordago platform it gains cross-domain routing, the Shared Compiler gate, and evidence-audit provenance enforcement. Platform composition is opt-in; the quickstart above has zero platform dependency.
