Check before installing. Some of what it can do is expected: a coding skill usually runs build and test commands.

Python API for RCSB PDB 3D structures (search, fetch coordinates, metadata). Input MUST be a protein/gene name (e.g. 'KRAS', 'EGFR', 'BTK') or a 4-character PDB ID (e.g. '6OIM'). Returns zero results for drug/chemistry phrases such as 'covalent inhibitors' or 'warhead selectivity'. Strip all drug qualifiers — pass only the target protein name or PDB accession.

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/'pdb-database' ] || [ -L ~/.agents/skills/'pdb-database' ]; then echo 'A skill folder named pdb-database already exists — not replacing it' >&2; false; else d=$(mktemp -d) && git clone --quiet --filter=blob:none --no-checkout 'https://github.com/lamm-mit/scienceclaw' "$d" && git -C "$d" checkout --quiet '894598cd3a90891a077c254566276bd379038bad' -- 'skills/pdb-database' && mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills && cp -R "$d"/'skills/pdb-database' ~/.agents/skills/'pdb-database' && 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/'pdb-database' ~/.claude/skills/'pdb-database' (other agents: ~/.cursor/skills, ~/.copilot/skills, ~/.gemini/skills, ~/.gemini/config/skills, ~/.config/opencode/skills). Or install through the finder skill, which does both.
