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
It runs from inside its repository, so the clone comes first — what it calls does not travel with the file alone.
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/K-Dense-AI/scientific-agent-skillsnpx agentmods add skills/k-dense-ai/scientific-agent-skills/docxWrote this? Show the measurements
A badge with what this costs and how it scanned, read live from this page, so it follows the numbers instead of freezing them. Markdown for a README, HTML for a documentation site or a project page.

SkillSpector: 2 findings, up to high
These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →
- high Tool Misuse · line 60 Tool parameters are crafted to achieve unintended or unsafe behavior. Parameter abuse can bypass intended safety checks (e.g. shell=True, --force, dangerous glob patterns).Fix: Validate all tool parameters against an allowlist. Reject dangerous parameter values (shell=True, --force, -rf /) and use safe defaults.
- high Tool Misuse · line 60 Tool calls are chained to bypass individual safety checks or escalate capabilities beyond what any single tool call would allow.Fix: Limit tool chaining depth and validate the output of each tool before passing it to the next. Require explicit user approval for multi-step chains.
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 | $0.00184 | $0.01849 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00092 | $0.00924 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00037 | $0.00370 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00018 | $0.00185 |
Grade A, and why
docx 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 11d 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.

How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 100 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
DOCX creation, editing, and analysis
A .docx is a ZIP archive of XML files. Choose your approach by task:
| Task | Approach |
|---|---|
| Create a new document | Write a docx (npm) script — see gotchas below |
| Edit an existing document | unzip → edit word/document.xml → zip (docx-js cannot open existing files) |
| Read content | pandoc -t markdown file.docx |
Script paths below are relative to this skill's directory.
Creating with docx-js — gotchas
docx is preinstalled — do not run npm install first; write the script and require('docx') directly. Only if that require fails: npm install docx. The model knows the API; these are the footguns:
- Page size defaults to A4. For US Letter set
page: { size: { width: 12240, height: 15840 } }(DXA; 1440 = 1″). - Landscape: pass portrait dimensions and
orientation: PageOrientation.LANDSCAPE— docx-js swaps width/height internally. - Tables need dual widths: set
columnWidthson the table ANDwidthon every cell, both inWidthType.DXA(PERCENTAGE breaks in Google Docs). Column widths must sum to the table width. - Table shading: use
ShadingType.CLEAR, neverSOLID(renders black). - Lists: never insert
•literally; use anumberingconfig withLevelFormat.BULLET. ImageRunrequirestype:("png","jpg", …).PageBreakmust be inside aParagraph.- Never use
\n— use separateParagraphelements. - TOC: headings must use built-in
HeadingLevel.*; custom heading styles needoutlineLevelset or they won't appear. - Don't use a table as a horizontal rule — use a paragraph bottom border instead.
- Dot-leader / right-aligned-on-same-line: use
PositionalTab(alignment: PositionalTabAlignment.RIGHT,leader: PositionalTabLeader.DOT) inside aTextRun, not literal.or space padding.
Verify the output
After writing a .docx, render it and look at it:
python scripts/office/soffice.py --headless --convert-to pdf output.docx
pdftoppm -jpeg -r 100 output.pdf page
ls page-*.jpg # then Read the images
What ships with it
60 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.
- 11d ago First seen · 100 lines · 184 tokens per session scan A 5b9ba52c1172
docx is a skill published in the GitHub repository K-Dense-AI/scientific-agent-skills (44,220 stars, last pushed 4d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 184 tokens to every session and 1,849 once invoked, about $0.0009 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.
