148 Scientific Research Agent Skills
tom_doerr · x · 2026-07-20
This is a collection of scientific research skills designed for AI agents, focusing on "plug-and-play" research workflow extensions.
- The repository provides 148 ready-to-use scientific research skills, covering scenarios like cancer genomics, drug target binding, molecular dynamics, RNA velocity, geospatial science, time-series forecasting, and scientific machine learning resource discovery.
- It supports the Agent Skills standard and is compatible with tools like Cursor, Claude Code, Codex, and Google Antigravity.
- The graphic also mentions a new local version of K-Dense BYOK: it runs on desktop, uses your own API key, and connects to Web search, file processing, 100+ scientific databases, and all 148 skills; heavy workloads can also leverage cloud compute scaling via Modal.
- The goal is to turn AI agents into research assistants capable of executing multi-step scientific workflows, applicable in fields like biology, chemistry, and medicine.
