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.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00034 | $0.00448 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00017 | $0.00224 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00007 | $0.00090 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00003 | $0.00045 |
Grade A, and why
motif-for-claude-science 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 13d 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.
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 it actually says
Motif for Claude Science
Use the Motif connector for interactive molecular-biology review when its tools are available.
Open a connected workbench
Call motif_open_workbench with exactly one of:
payload: a bounded Motif inventory/workspace object; orcontent: exact FASTA, GenBank, raw sequence, or Motif JSON text.
Include filename when it provides a useful format and provenance hint. For
ambiguous raw sequence, include molecule (dna, rna, or protein). Do not
send binary AB1/ABI content through this text tool.
Verify the returned motif.mcp.workbench.v1 schema, source name, record count,
and residue count. A successful call is not proof that the host mounted the
App: confirm the visible Motif identity and intended sequence in the frame.
Current Claude Science local/custom connector builds may not register Motif as
an artifact viewer. Use the viewer chooser only when Motif is actually listed;
Sequence viewer unavailable—showing as text is a generic host fallback, not
a Motif parse error.
Create the portable fallback
If the host does not mount MCP Apps, call
motif_create_workbench_artifact with the same input. It returns an embedded,
self-contained HTML resource and motif.mcp.artifact-export.v1 metadata with a
safe filename, byte count, and SHA-256. It does not write a file; save or open
the exact resource through the host and verify it visually. The opened
workbench is interactive, but it is an immutable snapshot rather than a live
MCP App.
Safety boundary
These tools validate and render data in an ephemeral workbench. They do not write a durable library, run external analysis software, expose a shell, or grant generic DOM/filesystem access. Database JSON and workspace ZIP created inside Motif are ordinary unencrypted user-owned checkpoints.
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.

motif-for-claude-science is a skill published in the GitHub repository jvogan/motif (47 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 34 tokens to every session and 448 once invoked, about $0.0002 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.
