Scientific Agent Skills is a collection of reusable procedures that give AI agents capabilities for scientific research across areas such as biology, chemistry, medicine, and drug discovery. It is used by researchers and by people building AI scientist workflows with compatible coding agents. The catalogue contains many of the project's skills and supporting instructions.
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 | $0.00070 | $0.02418 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00028 | $0.00967 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00014 | $0.00484 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00007 | $0.00242 |
Grade A, and why
deepspot-m 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 24d 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.
Copies of this mod
2 near-identical copies found in the catalogue:
- deepspot-m — 100% identical, 94 lines differ

How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 220 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
DeepSpot-M
Overview
DeepSpot-M is a multimodal foundation model that maps a 224x224 H&E histology tile to spatial gene expression in log1p-CPM. The output is virtual spatial transcriptomics: one value per queried gene per tile, laid out on the grid the tiles came from.
A LoRA-adapted pathology foundation backbone (Midnight) tokenises the tile. A
cross-attention gene decoder lets each gene query attend to the patch tokens, and a gene
router hypernetwork builds gene-specific projections from frozen biological embeddings
(Evo 2, Orthrus, ProtT5, scGPT, Apertus). Genes enter the model as queryable embeddings
rather than fixed output slots, so the released model covers a ~19k protein-coding gene
panel including genes unseen in training. The panel ships with the weights as
tokens.csv and is exposed as model.gene_names; genes outside it cannot be queried in
this release.
Applied to TCGA, the model produced a virtual spatial transcriptomics atlas of 28,664 slides across 32 cancer types.
Licensing
The code is PolyForm Noncommercial 1.0.0 and the weights are CC-BY-NC-SA-4.0. The current model access form additionally restricts eligibility to academic/public nonprofit researchers without concurrent commercial affiliations and excludes commercially funded/collaborative use. Read the live declarations before requesting access; a noncommercial intention alone does not establish eligibility. Research use only, not clinical or diagnostic use. Preserve the applicable attribution and licenses.
Installation
uv pip install deepspotm==1.0.0
PyPI 1.0.0 declares Python >=3.10 without an upper bound; that is not proof of compatibility with every future dependency release. Use an isolated environment. Install the PyTorch build that matches your CUDA runtime if using a GPU. The optional histolab 0.7.0 tiler requires Python <3.12 and an older scientific stack: run tiling separately and exchange PNG tiles plus a coordinate manifest.
Model access
The weights are gated:
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.
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.

deepspot-m is a skill published in the GitHub repository K-Dense-AI/scientific-agent-skills (54,587 stars, last pushed 7d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 70 tokens to every session and 2,418 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5.5. 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.
