First-time setup for protein design tools. Use this skill when: (1) User is new and hasn't run any tools yet, (2) Commands fail with "file not found" or "modal: command not found", (3) Modal authentication errors occur, (4) User asks how to get started or set up the environment, (5) biomodals directory is missing or tools aren't working.
Works with any agent that supports SKILL.md skills.

Install
Paste this into your terminal. It downloads exactly the version we scanned, not whatever is newest.
if [ -e ~/.agents/skills/'setup' ] || [ -L ~/.agents/skills/'setup' ]; then echo 'A skill folder named setup already exists — not replacing it' >&2; false; else d=$(mktemp -d) && git clone --quiet --filter=blob:none --no-checkout 'https://github.com/adaptyvbio/protein-design-skills' "$d" && git -C "$d" checkout --quiet '59dd63374314baa2fb1f9864f190775bd7466647' -- 'skills/setup' && mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills && cp -R "$d"/'skills/setup' ~/.agents/skills/'setup' && rm -rf "$d"; fi
Codex reads ~/.agents/skills directly. For Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Antigravity or OpenCode, also link it. For Claude Code: ln -s ~/.agents/skills/'setup' ~/.claude/skills/'setup' (other agents: ~/.cursor/skills, ~/.copilot/skills, ~/.gemini/skills, ~/.gemini/config/skills, ~/.config/opencode/skills). Or install through the finder skill, which does both.
