Run ESM protein language models — ESMC for embeddings and representations, ESMFold2 for structure prediction, and ESM3 for generative multimodal protein design across sequence, structure, and function — locally or through the hosted Biohub Platform API (formerly Forge).

What this skill can do

Install

Paste this into your terminal. It downloads exactly the version we scanned, not whatever is newest.

if [ -e ~/.agents/skills/'alterlab-esm' ] || [ -L ~/.agents/skills/'alterlab-esm' ]; then echo 'A skill folder named alterlab-esm already exists — not replacing it' >&2; false; else d=$(mktemp -d) && git clone --quiet --filter=blob:none --no-checkout 'https://github.com/AlterLab-IEU/AlterLab-Academic-Skills' "$d" && git -C "$d" checkout --quiet '3ab6d034385ec4fedc3f6f4099292d4e91f60300' -- 'skills/bioinformatics/alterlab-esm' && mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills && cp -R "$d"/'skills/bioinformatics/alterlab-esm' ~/.agents/skills/'alterlab-esm' && 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/'alterlab-esm' ~/.claude/skills/'alterlab-esm' (other agents: ~/.cursor/skills, ~/.copilot/skills, ~/.gemini/skills, ~/.gemini/config/skills, ~/.config/opencode/skills). Or install through the finder skill, which does both.
