functional-protein-design

functional-protein-design is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from PharMolix/OpenBioMed. It costs 6 tokens per session (2,253 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow for designing proteins with a functional goal, using OpenBioMed, downloaded model checkpoints, gene-ontology terms, and a CUDA-capable graphics processor.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to organise functional-protein-design checkpoints and mapping files, select relevant Gene Ontology molecular-function terms, and prepare the generation and folding environment.
Why use it?
It lays out the files, model weights, mappings, software setup, and hardware needed before protein generation and folding can run.

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

functional-protein-design scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 13d ago.

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.

Functional Protein Design

Prerequisites

Requirement Details
Environment Configured via OpenBioMed: README.md
Hardware CUDA-compatible GPU (≥ 10GB VRAM) required for both generation and folding
Checkpoints Download CodeFP weights & mappings from Google Drive.

Data Preparation & Configuration

Directory Structure Organize your downloaded checkpoints and mapping files as follows:

checkpoints/
├── codefp/
│   ├── model/
│   │   └── checkpoints/
│   │       └── model.ckpt
│   └── mappings/
│       ├── go_mapping.pkl

│       ├── desc2map_dict_statics.pkl
│       └── train_go_terms_cls_emb.pkl

How to Run

Phase 0: Environment & Prerequisites

Before getting started, ensure that your environment is fully configured. This includes a successful installation of OpenBioMed and the completion of all required model weight downloads.

Next, search the Gene Ontology website to identify 1–3 Molecular Function (MF) GO terms (e.g., ['GO:0004930', 'GO:0004984']) that best align with your functional target.

Note: Please ensure that the selected GO terms are included in go_mapping.pkl, a dictionary whose keys enumerate all supported GO terms (e.g., “GO:0004930”, “GO:0004984”), to ensure compatibility with the model.

Phase 1: GO-Guided Sequence Generation (Python)

First, we generate the protein sequence using the model. Run the following code:

from open_biomed.core.pipeline import InferencePipeline
from open_biomed.data import Protein

# 1. GO-guided sequence generation
generator = InferencePipeline(
    task="go_guided_protein_generation",
    model="codefp",
    model_ckpt="./checkpoints/codefp/model/checkpoints/model.ckpt",
    device="cuda:0"
)

# Replace with 1–3 target Molecular Function (MF) GO terms
go_terms = [['GO:0004930', 'GO:0004984']]

designed_seqs = generator.run(go_terms=go_terms)
seq_only = designed_seqs[0][0]  # Protein object

seq_str = seq_only.sequence
print(f"Generated Sequence: {seq_str}")

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.

functional-protein-design is a skill published in the GitHub repository PharMolix/OpenBioMed (1,105 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 6 tokens to every session and 2,253 once invoked, about $0.0000 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
