| compute-env-setup | Prepare reproducible setup instructions and validate a user-managed named software environment on an Open-Science SSH Compute Host, including direct SSH and Slurm hosts. Use when a remote job needs packages, modules, cache variables, or a repeatable activation that the host does not already provide. |
| customize | Use when the user wants to create or manage a Specialist agent or create, revise, publish, or delete a Skill through the conversational `/Customize` entry. Routes Skill work to the internal skill-creator and handles Specialist work through the JavaScript host.agents SDK. |
| diffdock | Predict small-molecule binding poses with DiffDock-L (Corso et al. 2023/2024, github.com/gcorso/DiffDock) — blind diffusion docking that places a ligand into a protein pocket without a predefined search box and ranks the samples with a learned confidence model. Reach for this skill to dock a… |
| env-management | Use when a notebook run fails on a missing package (ImportError, ModuleNotFoundError, "there is no package called"), when you need to inspect an installed package version, or when you need to install, add, or manage Python or R packages for the notebook runtime. Covers inspect_packages, routing… |
| esmfold2 | Biohub ESMFold2 / ESMFold2-Fast all-atom co-folding (Candido et al. 2026, github.com/Biohub/esm). Single-sequence and MSA modes; protein, DNA, RNA, ligand (CCD/SMILES), modified residues. FoldBench Ab-Ag 50-55%, PPI 70-77% DockQ-pass. Also covers the ESMC-{300M,600M,6B} protein language models… |
| evo2 | Score, embed, and generate DNA sequences with Evo 2, a long-context genomic foundation model. Use this skill when: (1) Computing per-nucleotide or per-sequence likelihoods for variant effect scoring, (2) Embedding genomic windows for downstream classification, (3) Generating DNA conditioned on a… |
| fair-esm2 | Embed proteins with Meta AI's ESM-2 (`fair-esm` package). Use this skill when: (1) Extracting per-residue or per-sequence embeddings for downstream ML, (2) Masked-LM likelihood / mutation effect scoring, (3) Contact prediction from a sequence. |
| figure-composer | Compose one publication-grade multi-panel figure. Start from a one-line claim plus immutable data Artifact Version references, or inspect an existing figure and draft its outline directly. Plan a 12-column panel outline, delegate one worker per panel, compose and inspect the result, then run at… |
| figure-style | Publication-grade correctness and legibility rules for final-deliverable scientific figures, not exploratory plots. Use for a figure that will ship in a report, paper, export, or kept artifact. Covers data fidelity, label economy, color threading, chart choice, layout, and render-then-verify QA… |
| indication-dossier | Generate a therapeutic indication dossier. Covers the patient population, epidemiology, disease biology, standard of care, regulatory precedent, and landmark clinical trials. |
| ligandmpnn | Inverse-fold a backbone with ligand, nucleic-acid, and metal context using LigandMPNN (Dauparas et al. 2023, github.com/dauparas/LigandMPNN). Reach for this skill to redesign the residues lining a binding pocket around a bound small molecule or cofactor, to design metal-coordinating sites where… |
| literature-review | Find, verify, and synthesize scientific literature — from "what's the seminal paper for X" through full multi-source reviews. Covers grounding claims in real retrieved sources, avoiding fabricated citations, handling retractions, and calibrating confidence to evidence strength. |
| openfold3 | Structure prediction using OpenFold3, an open-weights PyTorch reproduction of AlphaFold3 from the AlQuraishi Lab. Use this skill when predicting protein/nucleic-acid/ligand complex structures with an Apache-2.0-licensed AF3 reimplementation. |
| paper-narrative | Judge and reshape the story told by an entire paper figure deck. Use when writing or revising a paper to derive a grounded brief from the manuscript and captions, review the full deck as a handling editor, and hand an ordered figure arc to `figure-composer`. |
| proteinmpnn | Inverse-fold a protein backbone (PDB structure) into amino-acid sequence with ProteinMPNN (Dauparas et al. 2022, github.com/dauparas/ProteinMPNN). Reach for this skill to run sequence design on RFdiffusion backbones, to redesign one chain of a PDB while holding interface residues fixed, or to… |
| remote-compute-ssh | Evaluate and use SSH Remote Compute before choosing where to run GPU, high-memory, parallel, batch, model-inference, bioinformatics, or other long-running scientific work; supports short remote commands and asynchronous jobs with automatic harvest and analysis. |
| scgpt | Embed and annotate single-cell expression data with scGPT, a foundation model for single-cell biology.

| self-awareness | Inspect Open-Science's JavaScript control REPL, discover managed Project files, Sessions, and Agent Frames, and safely feature-gate host.* calls with host.capabilities(). Use when an Agent needs to discover available host APIs, locate an Artifact or Upload Version, diagnose a Session, or read a… |
| skill-creator | Create, revise, evaluate, publish, and improve Open-Science Skills through the native JavaScript host.skills composer. Use when the user wants a reusable workflow, an existing Skill changed, test cases or benchmarks for a Skill, or better Skill triggering. |
| solublempnn | Inverse-fold a backbone with SolubleMPNN — ProteinMPNN retrained on a soluble-PDB subset (Dauparas et al. 2022) — for sequences biased toward cytosolic expression and reduced aggregation. Reach for this skill when designs from vanilla ProteinMPNN are aggregating or going to inclusion bodies, when… |
