bio-pharmacophore-modeling

bio-pharmacophore-modeling is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from GPTomics/bioSkills. It costs 138 tokens per session (4,410 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A toolkit for building three-dimensional pharmacophore models: descriptions of the spatial arrangement of features a molecule needs to interact with a protein. Features can include hydrogen-bond donors and acceptors, hydrophobic regions, aromatic groups, and charges.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for scaffold hopping (finding different core structures), virtual-screening prefilters, and transferring structure–activity insights between related targets.
Why use it?
It lets researchers search for molecules with the right interaction pattern even when their overall chemical structures differ. This supports comparing known active molecules with new chemical shapes.

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-pharmacophore-modeling 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 10d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (examples/pharmacophore.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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 294 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Version Compatibility

Reference examples tested with: RDKit 2024.09+, Pharmit web service, and PLIP 2.4+ (interaction analysis). Verify the deployed Pharmit/Pharmer interface and query format before automation.

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

  • Python: pip show rdkit then help(rdkit.Chem.Pharm3D) to check signatures

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

Pharmacophore Modeling

Build 3D pharmacophore queries that capture the essential interaction features of a ligand-target binding event. A pharmacophore is the spatial arrangement of pharmacophore features (donor, acceptor, hydrophobe, aromatic, charged) sufficient for activity, abstracted from any specific chemotype. Use pharmacophores for scaffold hopping, virtual-screening prefilters, and cross-target SAR transfer. Derive interaction features directly from a co-crystal when available, use apo2ph4 to derive models from an apo pocket (Heider et al. 2023), or align known actives for a ligand-based model. PharmacoForge generates candidate 3D pharmacophores conditioned on a protein pocket; those pharmacophores can then retrieve matching molecules from a library (Flynn et al. 2025).

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.
