structure-based-drug-design

structure-based-drug-design is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from awslabs/hcls-agent-skills. It costs 150 tokens per session (4,214 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT-0.

A reasoning guide for structure-based drug design, which uses a 3D model of a biological target to help design possible medicines. It covers choices such as docking, binding sites, molecular dynamics, and free-energy calculations.

In plain words
What is it for?
Assessing whether a target can bind a drug, choosing docking and scoring methods, defining binding sites, interpreting docking results, planning molecular dynamics or FEP studies, and designing virtual screening steps.
Why use it?
It helps organize the many technical decisions involved in predicting how a drug molecule may fit and interact with a target. It also helps interpret results and plan a screening strategy.

About the project

awslabs/hcls-agent-skills is a collection of reusable instructions that help AI agents handle healthcare and life sciences work, including genomics, medical imaging, claims, and drug discovery. It is intended for agents running on Agent Skills-compatible platforms, and the catalogue entries are its individual domain skills.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

structure-based-drug-design scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2mo ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
