bio-molecular-descriptors is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from PKU-YuanGroup/OpenAI4S. It costs 114 tokens per session (5,173 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of bio-molecular-descriptors, MIT.

A chemistry utility that converts molecules into fingerprints and numerical properties, such as structure patterns, molecular weight-related measures, polarity, and fat solubility.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for molecular similarity searches, QSAR models, virtual screening, and chemical-data feature generation.
Why use it?
It provides consistent numerical representations for comparing molecules and preparing them for analysis or machine learning.

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-molecular-descriptors 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 9d ago.

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

Origin

This is a copy

100% identical to bio-molecular-descriptors — 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 — 267 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Version Compatibility

Reference examples tested with: RDKit 2024.09+, numpy 1.26+, pandas 2.2+, map4 1.1+ (MAP4), mhfp 1.9+. Use mapchiral separately when the stereochemistry-aware MAP4C fingerprint is intended.

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.

Molecular Descriptors

Featurize molecules for similarity search, QSAR, virtual screening, or ML. Fingerprint performance is dataset- and objective-dependent: ECFP4 is a strong drug-like baseline, atom-pair and topological-torsion fingerprints expose longer-range topology, MAP4/MHFP6 target broader chemical-space searches, and 3D conformer-based descriptors are needed when shape and stereochemistry matter.

For canonicalization before featurization, see chemoinformatics/molecular-standardization. For 3D-only descriptors, see chemoinformatics/conformer-generation.

Fingerprint Taxonomy

Fingerprint Type Radius/Path Bits Use case Fails when
Morgan (ECFP) Circular r=2 (ECFP4), r=3 (ECFP6) 2048 typical Drug-like similarity, ML default Loses long-range topology; bit collisions at low nBits
FCFP Functional Morgan r=2 default 2048 Pharmacophore-aware similarity Same caveats as ECFP; less specific
MACCS Substructure key 166 fixed bits 167 Quick fingerprint, drug-likeness Too sparse for large diverse libraries
RDKit FP Path/subgraph-based paths and branched subgraphs up to 7 bonds by default 2048 RDKit-native ECFP alternative Drug-like only; not optimal for scaffold hopping
AtomPair Pair + topological distance All atom pairs 2048 Long-range topological similarity Slower than ECFP; harder to interpret
TopologicalTorsion 4-atom torsion All TT 2048 Path-pattern similarity Like AP, slower than ECFP
Avalon Substructure + atom pairs Mixed 512/1024 Fast similarity Less standard; older
MAP4 (MinHashed atom-pair) MinHash atom-pair r=1,2 1024/2048 Biological + metabolite diversity map4 library required; slower hash
MHFP6 (MinHash) MinHash ECFP-like r=3 (diam 6) 2048 Large-library nearest-neighbor with a compatible MinHash/LSH index Different distance semantics from folded-bit Tanimoto
Pharm2D 2D pharmacophore feature pairs/triplets sparse Pharmacophore search Sparse, slower

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.

bio-molecular-descriptors is a skill published in the GitHub repository PKU-YuanGroup/OpenAI4S (407 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 114 tokens to every session and 5,173 once invoked, about $0.0006 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. It is 100% identical to bio-molecular-descriptors, differing in 12 lines, and is treated as a copy.
