polaris: Skill for Claude Code

.claude/skills/foldseek_structural_search/SKILL.md

foldseek-structural-search is a skill for Claude Code from BeyondTheProtocol/polaris. It costs 97 tokens per session (1,286 once invoked), scanned A, original, AGPL-3.0.

A tool for searching protein databases by three-dimensional shape using Foldseek. It compares a supplied structure file, such as PDB or mmCIF, with structures from sources including PDB and AlphaFold.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when you have a protein coordinate file and want structurally similar proteins from public structure databases.
Why use it?
It helps find proteins with similar shapes when sequence similarity is not enough or is not the question being asked.

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

foldseek-structural-search 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 yesterday.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/search.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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 ships with it

2 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

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.
