rdkit-molecular-descriptors

rdkit-molecular-descriptors is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from ma-compbio-lab/SkillFoundry. It costs 41 tokens per session (465 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A tool for calculating standard chemical details from one SMILES string, a text format that describes a molecule's structure.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to inspect one molecule, prepare data for filtering, or add chemical metadata to a record. It is not for docking, quantum chemistry, or large-scale screening.
Why use it?
It provides a compact, consistent molecule summary without requiring manual calculation of its formula, weight, or basic chemical properties.

Token cost

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.

Security

Grade A, and why

rdkit-molecular-descriptors 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 9d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 2 executable files (scripts/compute_rdkit_descriptors.py, tests/test_compute_rdkit_descriptors.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

What it actually says

Purpose

Turn a SMILES string into a compact descriptor summary suitable for quick triage, featurization, and metadata enrichment.

When to use

  • You need a local RDKit-backed molecular summary from a SMILES string.
  • You want canonical SMILES, formula, weight, and simple physicochemical descriptors.

When not to use

  • You need conformer generation, docking, or reaction modeling.
  • You need batch-scale descriptor computation for millions of compounds.

Inputs

  • One SMILES string
  • Optional molecule name
  • Optional JSON output path

Outputs

  • JSON summary with canonical SMILES, formula, exact mass, logP, TPSA, HBA/HBD, rotatable bonds, ring count, and heavy-atom count

Requirements

  • slurm/envs/chem-tools with RDKit available

Procedure

  1. Run slurm/envs/chem-tools/bin/python skills/drug-discovery-and-cheminformatics/rdkit-molecular-descriptors/scripts/compute_rdkit_descriptors.py --smiles "CC(=O)OC1=CC=CC=C1C(=O)O" --name aspirin.
  2. Inspect canonical_smiles, formula, molecular_weight, and tpsa.
  3. Reuse the JSON payload for downstream filtering or reporting.

Validation

  • The command exits successfully.
  • canonical_smiles is non-empty for a known valid molecule.
  • Descriptor fields are numeric where expected.

Failure modes and fixes

  • Invalid SMILES: verify the input string and quoting.
  • Missing RDKit environment: run the script with slurm/envs/chem-tools/bin/python.

Safety and limits

  • Descriptor calculation only.
  • No medicinal-chemistry or safety interpretation is implied.

Provenance

  • chembl-molecule-search
Files

What ships with it

10 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.

Changes

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.

rdkit-molecular-descriptors is a skill published in the GitHub repository ma-compbio-lab/SkillFoundry (38 stars, last pushed 4mo ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 41 tokens to every session and 465 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.
