Science Skills is a collection of add-ons that give AI agents structured instructions, scripts, and references for scientific research, including genomics, structural biology, cheminformatics, and literature search. Researchers use it to guide agents through specialized scientific tasks with information from databases and tools such as AlphaGenome, AFDB, and UniProt. The catalogue entries are individual skills from this collection.
Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

A badge with what this costs and how it scanned, read live from this page, so it follows the numbers instead of freezing them. Markdown for a README, HTML for a documentation site or a project page.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00034 | $0.00449 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00017 | $0.00225 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00007 | $0.00090 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00003 | $0.00045 |
Grade C, and why
uv scanned grade C with 2 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 6d 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.

uv (Python Package Manager)
uv is a fast Python package manager used by Science Skills to run their Python
CLI scripts. Many skills depend on uv being installed and on
PATH.
Ensure uv is available before running any skill that depends on it.
Setup
-
Check if
uvis already available:uv --version(or& uv --versionin PowerShell). If this succeeds,uvis ready — skip the remaining steps. -
Check whether
uvis installed at its default location but not on PATH:- Unix/macOS:
"$HOME/.local/bin/uv" --version - Windows (PowerShell):
& "$HOME\.local\bin\uv.exe" --version
If either succeeds, skip to step 4.
- Unix/macOS:
-
If uv is not installed do these steps in order:
(a) Tell the user that uv is a tool for creating a consistent and reliable Python environment used for running the Science Skills, and that you need to install it now.
(b) Install
uv:- **Unix/macOS**: `curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh` - **Windows (PowerShell)**: `powershell -ExecutionPolicy ByPass -c "irm https://astral.sh/uv/install.ps1 | iex"` -
Add
uvto PATH and verify (run as a single command):- Unix/macOS:
export PATH="$HOME/.local/bin:$PATH" && uv --version - Windows (PowerShell):
$env:PATH = "$HOME\.local\bin;" + $env:PATH; uv --version
- Unix/macOS:
After setup, bare uv commands should work without repeating the export.
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.

uv is a skill published in the GitHub repository google-deepmind/science-skills (2,845 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 34 tokens to every session and 449 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it C with 2 findings (downloads and executes remote code, makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
