bio-ml-docking-rescoring

bio-ml-docking-rescoring is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from GPTomics/bioSkills. It costs 0 tokens per session (4,151 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A toolkit for predicting how a small molecule sits in a protein binding site and for estimating its binding score with machine-learning models. This process is called docking, and rescoring means evaluating a proposed pose with another method.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for protein–ligand pose prediction, affinity scoring, rescoring docking results, and checking predicted complexes before selecting candidates for further study.
Why use it?
It provides ways to sample and rank protein–ligand poses while separating prediction from checks of physical plausibility. Hybrid workflows can combine machine-learning poses, additional scoring, and quality control.

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

bio-ml-docking-rescoring 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 8d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (examples/ml_hybrid_dock.sh), 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 277 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Version Compatibility

Reference examples tested with: DiffDock-L (Corso et al. 2024), Boltz-1 1.0+, Boltz-2 (Passaro et al. 2025), Chai-1 0.4+, AlphaFold 3 (DeepMind), EquiBind, TANKBind, GNINA 1.1+, and PoseBusters 0.6+.

Before using code patterns, verify installed versions match. If versions differ:

  • Python: pip show <package> then help(module.function) to check signatures
  • CLI: diffdock --version; boltz --version

If code throws ImportError, AttributeError, or TypeError, introspect the installed package and adapt the example to match the actual API rather than retrying.

ML Docking and Rescoring

Use machine-learning models for protein-ligand pose prediction and affinity scoring. Foundation models such as AlphaFold 3, Boltz, and Chai-1 handle protein-ligand complex prediction, while DiffDock-L extends the original DiffDock method for ligand-pose sampling (Corso et al. 2023, 2024). Boltz-2 reports affinity prediction approaching physics-based free-energy methods on its evaluated benchmarks at substantially lower computational cost. Physical plausibility remains a separate requirement: on the PoseBusters Benchmark, the original DiffDock produced a correct and physically valid pose for 12% of complexes, compared with 58% for Vina and 55% for GOLD (Buttenschoen et al. 2024). Use ML sampling with independent scoring and physical validation rather than treating model confidence as sufficient.

Chai-1 (Chai Discovery 2024) AlphaFold-style + language model GPU; hardware-dependent Open-weight complex prediction Validate ligands and cofactors independently
AlphaFold 3 (Abramson et al. 2024) Foundation model Local code/weights or public server Complex prediction with proteins and ligands Server and local distributions have different terms and limits
EquiBind Equivariant single-shot <1s GPU Fast pose Lowest accuracy on PoseBusters
TANKBind Distance + classifier <1s GPU Fast pose + score Geometric inconsistency

Glide (Schrödinger) Grid-based docking and empirical scoring License and hardware-dependent Commercial docking workflow License cost
GNINA 1.1 CNN Classical sampling + CNN scoring GPU; hardware-dependent CNN-assisted pose ranking Validate transfer to the target and chemotype

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.
