chai1-structure-prediction

chai1-structure-prediction is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from zongtingwei/Bioclaw_Skills_Hub. It costs 121 tokens per session (2,032 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of chai, MIT.

A tool for predicting the three-dimensional shapes of protein complexes, including proteins bound to other molecules. Chai-1 is a structure-prediction model used in computational biology.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to predict protein-protein and protein-ligand complexes, validate designed binders, and run predictions through a local setup, an API, or Modal.
Why use it?
It helps assess whether a designed protein binder or molecular complex may have the intended shape before laboratory testing.

Written for no agent in particular: nothing here depends on one.

Needs its repository: it reads a path above its own folder, which exists only inside the repository. The line is **First time?** See [Installation Guide](../../docs/installation.md) to set up Modal and biomodals..

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

chai1-structure-prediction 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 12d 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

91% identical to chai — 44 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.

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.
