bio-pose-validation

bio-pose-validation is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from GPTomics/bioSkills. It costs 74 tokens per session (3,776 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A quality checker for protein–drug poses produced by molecular docking, which predicts how a drug molecule fits into a protein. It tests whether each pose is physically and chemically plausible.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps check docking and AI-generated docking results, compare docking methods, and select poses for drug-design analyses or model training.
Why use it?
Docking scores or distance-based accuracy alone can accept poses with clashes, distorted bonds, incorrect ring shapes, or unreasonable energy. This helps filter out such unreliable results.

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-pose-validation 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 4d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (examples/validate_poses.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: PoseBusters 0.6+, RDKit 2024.09+, pandas 2.2+, posecheck 0.5+ (optional).

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

  • Python: pip show <package> then help(module.function) 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.

Pose Validation

Test docked or AI-generated protein-ligand poses for physical plausibility. PoseBusters (Buttenschoen et al. 2024) provides geometric, chemical, and energetic checks that flag implausible poses, including non-planar aromatic rings, van der Waals clashes, broken bonds, altered stereochemistry, and unfavorable internal energies. On the Astex Diverse Set, DiffDock achieved 72% RMSD success but only 47% combined RMSD-and-PB-valid success; the size of this gap is dataset- and method-dependent. PB-valid status complements RMSD for downstream SAR, FEP setup, or generative-model training.

PoseBusters Test Suite

PoseBusters runs ~20 individual checks grouped into:

The thresholds below are the benchmark criteria reported by Buttenschoen et al. (2024). Installed PoseBusters defaults may differ by version and configuration, so record the package version and resolved configuration.

Sanity Ligand chemical sanity RDKit sanitization passes
Bond lengths Bond lengths within reference 0.75–1.25 times RDKit distance-geometry bounds
Bond angles 1–3 distances within reference 0.75–1.25 times RDKit distance-geometry bounds
Internal steric No intra-ligand clash Pair distance > 0.70 times the RDKit lower bound
Aromatic ring planarity Aromatic rings planar Maximum deviation from fitted plane <= 0.25 Å

Internal energy Energy relative to generated conformers UFF energy ratio <= 100 versus the mean of 50 generated, relaxed conformers
Volume overlap vdW overlap with protein < 7.5% of ligand vdW volume

Chirality R/S preserved from input Match input SMILES

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.

bio-pose-validation is a skill published in the GitHub repository GPTomics/bioSkills (1,199 stars, last pushed 19d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 74 tokens to every session and 3,776 once invoked, about $0.0004 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
