complexa-evaluate-pdbs

complexa-evaluate-pdbs is a skill for Claude Code from NVIDIA/skills. It costs 108 tokens per session (3,395 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A runbook for checking existing protein-structure files in PDB format with the Proteina-Complexa tools. PDB is a standard text file format for describing the three-dimensional positions of atoms in a protein.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to refold and score PDB directories, measure protein interfaces and structural similarity, assess designability, and summarize pass rates.
Why use it?
It evaluates designs that already exist without generating new ones. It gathers structural and interface measurements in consistent CSV reports, including which designs pass chosen thresholds.

About the project

NVIDIA/skills is a catalogue of portable instruction sets that teach coding agents how to use NVIDIA software for robotics, simulation, CUDA, retrieval-augmented generation, and related workflows. Developers install these skills in agents such as Claude Code or Codex, while the catalogue mirrors skills maintained in separate NVIDIA product repositories.

Getting it into your agent

It runs from inside its repository, so the clone comes first — what it calls does not travel with the file alone.

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

complexa-evaluate-pdbs 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 3d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 2 executable files (scripts/preflight.sh, scripts/write_manifest.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.

Complexa Evaluate-PDBs Skill

Score a directory of pre-existing PDB files against the same metrics Proteina-Complexa uses internally. Wraps complexa analysis <evaluate_config> ++sample_storage_path=<dir>: the CLI runs the evaluate step (refold + interface metrics + monomer metrics) and then the analyze step (success thresholds, diversity, pass-rate CSVs). Do not run complexa generate here — the inputs already exist.

What this skill enables

  • Re-fold a directory of designed PDBs with AF2 (colabdesign), RF3 (rf3_latest), ESMFold (esmfold), or Boltz2 (boltz2_default).
  • Compute binder interface metrics: i_pAE, min_ipAE, i_pTM, pLDDT, binder/complex scRMSD.
  • Compute monomer designability (ProteinMPNN-redesigned scRMSD) and codesignability (original sequence refold scRMSD).
  • For motif inputs: motif RMSD (CA + all-atom), motif-region designability/codesignability, sequence recovery.
  • Aggregate into per-PDB CSVs plus pass-rate summaries using the default thresholds for the result_type.

Step 1: Pre-flight

Always check GPU / disk / tool binaries before launching a refold job. RF3 and ColabDesign-AF2 are large.

bash scripts/preflight.sh

Surface from preflight.json:

  • gpu.available and gpu.vram_gb — colabdesign/RF3 need ≥40 GB; ESMFold tolerates ≥24 GB.
  • env.missing_required — must include the keys for the chosen folding backend:
    • colabdesign → AF2_DIR
    • rf3_latest → RF3_CKPT_PATH, RF3_EXEC_PATH
    • esmfold → ESMFold weights resolvable
  • tools.{foldseek,mmseqs} — required by aggregation.compute_diversity / compute_mmseqs_diversity (both default true).

If any required key is missing, route the user to the complexa-setup skill.

Step 2: Identify the design type

Like complexa design, evaluation has one default flow (protein binder) and two extensions (ligand binder, AME). The evaluate config you pass to complexa analysis decides everything else (which metrics, which refolder defaults, which thresholds the analyze step applies).

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.

complexa-evaluate-pdbs is a skill published in the GitHub repository NVIDIA/skills (3,722 stars, last pushed today), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 108 tokens to every session and 3,395 once invoked, about $0.0004 per session on Opus 5.5. 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 2026-10-22.
