bio-generative-design

bio-generative-design is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from PKU-YuanGroup/OpenAI4S. It costs 119 tokens per session (4,215 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of bio-generative-design, MIT.

A molecular-design workflow for generating new chemical compounds with desired properties. It uses several machine-learning methods for creating molecules, modifying chemical structures, and optimising them against multiple goals.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for de novo molecule generation, scaffold decoration, linker and R-group design, scaffold hopping, similarity-based optimisation, and multi-property optimisation.
Why use it?
It helps explore more possible compounds than manually designing each one. The scoring and optimisation steps focus the search on properties relevant to the project.

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

bio-generative-design 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 11d 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.

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.

Origin

This is a copy

100% identical to bio-generative-design — 12 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 329 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Version Compatibility

Reference examples tested with: REINVENT 4.0+, RDKit 2024.09+, PyTorch 2.1+, MolMIM (NVIDIA BioNeMo), chemprop 2.0+.

Before using code patterns, verify installed versions match. If versions differ:

  • Python: pip show <package> then help(module.function) to check signatures

If code throws ImportError, AttributeError, or TypeError, introspect the installed package and adapt the example to match the actual API rather than retrying.

Generative Molecular Design

Generate novel molecules biased toward desired properties using deep generative models. REINVENT 4 (Loeffler et al. 2024, AstraZeneca) provides four generator families: Reinvent (de novo), Libinvent (scaffold decoration and library design), Linkinvent (linker design), and Mol2Mol (similarity-constrained molecular optimization). These support design tasks including R-group replacement and scaffold hopping and can be used with transfer learning, reinforcement learning, and curriculum learning. For specific niches: MolMIM (NVIDIA BioNeMo) for latent-space property optimization, DiffSMol / DiGress for diffusion-based generation, and JT-VAE for latent-space optimization. The art of generative design is in the scoring function: poorly-designed scoring rewards uninteresting molecules, while well-designed scoring captures both activity and developability.

For QSAR/scoring models that feed generative design, see chemoinformatics/qsar-modeling. For synthetic feasibility, see chemoinformatics/retrosynthesis. For library enumeration as alternative, see chemoinformatics/reaction-enumeration.

Generator Mode Taxonomy

Mode Input Output Use case Fails when
De novo Empty seed or training set Novel molecules Wide chemical space exploration Synthetic feasibility weak
Scaffold decoration Scaffold + attachment points Decorated molecules Series expansion Generation diversity limited by scaffold
Linker design 2 fragments Linker molecules PROTAC, ternary complex Few linker geometric options
R-group replacement Scaffold + existing R-groups New R-group set Optimize one position Single-position only
Molecular optimization Lead molecule Improved analogs Lead optimization Improvement window narrow
Constrained generation Hard constraints (MW, fragments) Compliant molecules Patent / IP design Constraints overly restrictive

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.
