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.

SkillSpector: 1 finding, up to medium
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 →
- medium Rogue Agent · line 6 Skill establishes unauthorized persistence across sessions via cron jobs, startup scripts, or state files. Session persistence allows an attacker to maintain access beyond the current interaction.Fix: Remove any persistence mechanisms (cron jobs, startup scripts, state files). Skills should not maintain state across sessions without explicit user consent.
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 | $0.00043 | $0.03484 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00022 | $0.01742 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00009 | $0.00697 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00004 | $0.00348 |
Grade A, and why
geniml 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 8d 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 — 328 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Geniml
Use Geniml for machine learning and statistical workflows over genomic interval sets. Treat coordinates, assemblies, token vocabularies, model artifacts, and sample grouping as explicit contracts. The bundled scripts validate or plan; they do not import Geniml, contact services, deserialize models, or execute training.
Bash is declared only for explicit, user-approved uv, Python, Geniml,
Gtars, Git, and native CLI commands shown in this guide; bundled Python helpers
do not spawn subprocesses. Example paths under data/, refs/, work/, and
models/ are user-provided project placeholders, not missing bundled files.
Verified release snapshot
- Latest stable PyPI release on 2026-07-23:
geniml==0.8.4(2026-01-14). - PyPI does not declare
Requires-Python; its classifiers list Python 3.10-3.14. Prefer Python 3.11 or 3.12 where all native/ML wheels resolve. geniml==0.8.4acceptsgtars>=0.2.5; the verified base smoke used currentgtars==0.9.2(2026-06-17, Python >=3.10).- Extras are
mlandtest. The base install omits Torch, Gensim, Scanpy, Hugging Face Hub, pyBigWig, and HMM dependencies. - Upstream documentation contains stale examples. Release source and installed
--helpoutput take precedence where they conflict.
Install reproducibly
Use a project environment and commit its generated lockfile:
uv venv --python 3.12
uv pip install "geniml==0.8.4" "gtars==0.9.2"
For Region2Vec, scEmbed, evaluation, or universe methods needing ML libraries:
uv pip install "geniml[ml]==0.8.4" "gtars==0.9.2"
For a durable project, prefer:
uv add "geniml[ml]==0.8.4" "gtars==0.9.2"
uv lock
Do not install an unpinned Git branch. Record Python, OS/architecture, the
resolved lockfile, and the PyPI artifact digest. Geniml itself is BSD-2-Clause;
the MIT frontmatter value licenses this skill's content.
Start with the safety gate
Before importing Geniml or running an external binary:
- Work only with explicit local regular files. Reject URLs, FIFOs, devices, and symlinks unless the user deliberately changes that policy.
- Validate BED structure and the declared assembly against a trusted local chromosome-sizes file.
- Bound file count, bytes, rows, workers, epochs, and output size.
- Separate train/validation/test by patient, donor, biological replicate, or other independent unit—not by BED row or cell alone.
- Inventory and checksum the universe, tokenizer, model, config, inputs, metadata manifest, and native binaries.
- Obtain explicit approval before any BEDbase or Hugging Face download. Never infer approval from a model ID or BEDbase identifier.
- Keep logs aggregate and bounded. BED filenames, sample IDs, phenotypes, labels, barcodes, and genomic intervals may be sensitive.
What ships with it

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.

geniml 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 43 tokens to every session and 3,484 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.
