rdkit-scaffold-analysis-starter

rdkit-scaffold-analysis-starter is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from ma-compbio-lab/SkillFoundry. It costs 41 tokens per session (543 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A workflow for grouping a small set of molecules by their Murcko scaffolds, the core ring-and-connector structures shared by related molecules.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it with a small TSV file of molecule names and SMILES to produce scaffold summaries for early chemical analysis or smoke tests. It is not for large-scale clustering or remote compound searches.
Why use it?
It creates consistent scaffold groups and counts without requiring manual inspection of every molecule.

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-scaffold-analysis-starter 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.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 2 executable files (scripts/run_rdkit_scaffold_analysis.py, tests/test_run_rdkit_scaffold_analysis.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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 54 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Purpose

Analyze a small local TSV of SMILES strings with RDKit Murcko scaffolds and emit a compact JSON summary that can feed later smoke integration or scaffold triage workflows.

When to use

  • You need a local scaffold grouping summary for a small curated molecule set.
  • You want canonical SMILES, Murcko scaffolds, generic scaffolds, and group counts from one deterministic run.

When not to use

  • You need large library clustering, matched molecular pair analysis, or SAR interpretation.
  • You need remote compound lookup or medicinal-chemistry recommendations.

Inputs

  • A TSV file with columns name and smiles
  • Optional JSON output path

Outputs

  • JSON with per-molecule canonical SMILES, Murcko scaffold, generic scaffold, scaffold groups, generic scaffold groups, and summary counts

Requirements

  • slurm/envs/chem-tools/bin/python
  • RDKit available in that environment

Procedure

  1. Inspect examples/molecules.tsv.
  2. Run slurm/envs/chem-tools/bin/python skills/drug-discovery-and-cheminformatics/rdkit-scaffold-analysis-starter/scripts/run_rdkit_scaffold_analysis.py --input skills/drug-discovery-and-cheminformatics/rdkit-scaffold-analysis-starter/examples/molecules.tsv.
  3. Review molecules, scaffold_groups, and summary.

Validation

  • The bundled example returns at least one scaffold group with count >= 2.
  • Invalid SMILES input returns a non-zero exit code with a clear error message.

Failure modes and fixes

  • Invalid SMILES: fix the offending row in the input TSV.
  • Missing RDKit environment: rerun with slurm/envs/chem-tools/bin/python.
  • Missing name or smiles columns: use a header row with exactly those field names.

Safety and limits

  • Local scaffold computation only.
  • No medicinal-chemistry conclusions are implied by the grouping.

What ships with it

8 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-scaffold-analysis-starter 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 543 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.
