About claude-scientific-skills

claude-scientific-skills
125+ scientific skills for bioinformatics, cheminformatics, clinical research
Scientific Agent Skills is a library of 177 research skills for AI agents, made by K-Dense. Each skill gives an agent guidance for one package, data source or workflow in fields such as biology, chemistry, medicine, physics, engineering, Earth science, data analysis and scientific communication, together with the validation checks needed to use it correctly. The skills follow the open Agent Skills standard, so they work with Cursor, Claude Code, Codex, Google Antigravity and other compatible hosts. The collection is also packaged as a plugin with a plugin.json file and a skills folder, so clients that support that format can load all of it in one step. K-Dense also offers K-Dense BYOK, a free, open-source desktop co-scientist that runs on your own computer, uses your own API keys and draws on the same skills. It is aimed at researchers, engineers and open-source contributors who want their AI agent to follow real scientific workflows rather than generic ones.
