Fine to try. Some of what it can do is expected: a coding skill usually runs build and test commands.

Read, write, and edit ChemDraw CDX/CDXML files with RDKit's rdkit.Chem.rdChemDraw plus direct XML editing, always paired with a rendered PNG. Parse molecules and reactions from .cdxml/.cdx, write structures with good 2D depiction, and hand-build or modify the parts RDKit cannot write: reaction arrows, plus signs, schemes/steps, and text/labels. Use for reaction schemes, synthesis routes, mechanisms, retrosynthesis, or SI figures. Critical: RDKit writes structures only — round-tripping a reactio…

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/'rdkit-chemdraw-cdxml' ] || [ -L ~/.agents/skills/'rdkit-chemdraw-cdxml' ]; then echo 'A skill folder named rdkit-chemdraw-cdxml already exists — not replacing it' >&2; false; else d=$(mktemp -d) && git clone --quiet --filter=blob:none --no-checkout 'https://github.com/jaechang-hits/SciAgent-Skills' "$d" && git -C "$d" checkout --quiet '65d6ceb875e20b751ffb3a6d8ee19516558789e1' -- 'skills/structural-biology-drug-discovery/rdkit-chemdraw-cdxml' && mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills && cp -R "$d"/'skills/structural-biology-drug-discovery/rdkit-chemdraw-cdxml' ~/.agents/skills/'rdkit-chemdraw-cdxml' && 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/'rdkit-chemdraw-cdxml' ~/.claude/skills/'rdkit-chemdraw-cdxml' (other agents: ~/.cursor/skills, ~/.copilot/skills, ~/.gemini/skills, ~/.gemini/config/skills, ~/.config/opencode/skills). Or install through the finder skill, which does both.
