Turn any AI agent into an AI Scientist. The #1 Agent Skills library for science, used by 190,000+ scientists worldwide. 165 ready-to-use validated skills plus 100+ scientific databases covering biology, chemistry, medicine, and drug discovery. Compatible with Cursor, Claude Code, Codex, Pi, Antigravity, and the open Agent Skills standard.
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.
This repository also configures its own agents. See what scientific-agent-skills tells them →
K-Dense-AI/scientific-agent-skills
Skill Claude Code
Sample-size and statistical power calculations for planning studies. Use whenever someone asks "how many subjects/samples/replicates do I need", wants an a priori power analysis, a minimum detectable effect (MDE), a power curve, or needs to justify a sample size for a grant, IRB protocol, or pre-registration. Covers…

PyTorch Geometric (PyG) for graph neural networks — node/link/graph classification, message passing (GCN, GAT, GraphSAGE, GIN), heterogeneous graphs, neighbor sampling, and custom datasets. Use when working with torchgeometric, not for general NetworkX analytics or non-graph PyTorch models.
K-Dense-AI/scientific-agent-skills
Skill Claude Code
Build and troubleshoot TorchDrug 0.2.1 workflows for molecular graphs, property prediction, self-supervised pretraining, molecule generation, retrosynthesis, protein representation learning, and knowledge graph reasoning. Use when code imports torchdrug or needs its datasets, models, tasks, or Engine.
