esm3

esm3 is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from naity/FM4Life. It costs 113 tokens per session (2,028 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A protein-design skill using ESM3, a machine-learning model that works with protein sequences, shapes, and functions. It can generate or complete protein information based on the parts you provide.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to complete partial sequences, predict a structure from a sequence, design sequences for a target structure, or generate proteins guided by functional requirements.
Why use it?
It helps explore new protein designs when you know only a sequence fragment, target shape, or desired function. It supports design iterations across these different kinds of information.

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

esm3 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 7d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/generate.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.

ESM3: Multimodal Generative Protein Design

Overview

ESM3 is a generative protein language model from EvolutionaryScale that reasons simultaneously over sequence, structure, and function. Unlike ESM2 (discriminative, embeddings only), ESM3 generates proteins using iterative masked language modeling — you provide partial information in any combination of modalities and ESM3 fills in the rest.

Core use cases:

  • Complete partial/masked sequences
  • Structure prediction from sequence (fast alternative for design iterations)
  • Inverse folding — design sequences that fold to a target structure
  • Function-conditioned generation — proteins with specific functional annotations
  • Chain-of-thought design — iterate across sequence → structure → function tracks

Installation

pip install esm
# Optional: Flash Attention for 2–4× faster inference on GPU
pip install flash-attn --no-build-isolation

Model Selection

Model Params Access Best for
esm3-sm-open-v1 1.4B Local (open weights) Development, experimentation, fine-tuning
esm3-medium-2024-08 7B Forge API Production quality
esm3-large-2024-03 98B Forge API Maximum accuracy

Only esm3-sm-open-v1 runs locally. All other models require a Forge API token from https://forge.evolutionaryscale.ai.

Core Concepts

ESMProtein — the data container

from esm.sdk.api import ESMProtein

protein = ESMProtein(
    sequence="MPRT____KEND",      # use '_' to mark positions to generate
    coordinates=coords,           # optional: (L, 37, 3) numpy array of atom coords
    secondary_structure="HHHCCC", # optional: per-residue H/E/C annotation
    function_annotations=[...],   # optional: FunctionAnnotation objects
    sasa=sasa_array,              # optional: per-residue solvent accessibility
)

# Load from / export to PDB
protein = ESMProtein.from_pdb("structure.pdb")
pdb_str  = protein.to_pdb()

What ships with it

2 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.

esm3 is a skill published in the GitHub repository naity/FM4Life (2 stars, last pushed 5mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 113 tokens to every session and 2,028 once invoked, about $0.0006 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 2026-08-31.
