motif-for-claude-science-skill

Motif for Claude Science

Use this compatibility skill with the self-contained motif-artifact.html file. New Claude/Cowork handoffs should prefer the validated motif-for-claude-science.zip plugin bundle, which includes an explicit file-generation helper.

Interaction boundary

The supported standalone workflow is:

1. Build or receive the self-contained HTML file.
2. Open it in a modern browser.
3. Interact through its visible Inventory, Sequence, Map, and Tools controls.

The HTML defines window.motif* functions inside its own page. A skill does not turn those browser globals into Cowork or Claude Code tools. Do not claim to have called them unless the current session has a real browser bridge that can evaluate JavaScript in the loaded page and the rendered result was verified.

When such a bridge is actually available, call window.motifHelp() in the page context first. Treat that runtime manifest—not this file—as the source of truth for current API names, schemas, restriction-source ids, examples, and return values.

Prepare a preloaded artifact from source

From the Motif checkout:

npm run build:claude-science -- \
  --payload ./motif-inventory.json \
  --out ./motif-artifact.html

The default build is repo-local and writes the standalone HTML, standalone skill, unpacked Claude plugin, deterministic plugin ZIP, and checksum manifest under dist-motif/. Use --handoff <html-path> only when the user explicitly wants a copy outside the checkout.

Minimal payload:

{
  "schema": "motif.claude-science.inventory.v1",
  "inventory": {
    "title": "Example inventory",
    "description": "Records prepared for review."
  },
  "records": [
    {
      "name": "Example insert",
      "type": "dna",
      "topology": "linear",
      "group": "Design queue",
      "sequence": "ATGGCCGCCGCC",
      "features": [
        {
          "name": "coding insert",
          "type": "cds",
          "start": 0,
          "end": 12,
          "direction": "forward",
          "color": "#2EAD67"
        }
      ]
    }
  ]
}
