Claude Scientific Skills

New: K-Dense BYOK — A free, open-source AI co-scientist that runs on your desktop, powered by Claude Scientific Skills. Bring your own API keys, pick from 40+ models, and get a full research workspace with web search, file handling, 250+ scientific databases, and access to all 170+ skills in this repo. Your data stays on your computer, and you can optionally scale to cloud compute via Modal for heavy workloads. Get started here.

A comprehensive collection of 170+ ready-to-use scientific and research skills (now including cancer genomics, drug-target binding, molecular dynamics, RNA velocity, geospatial science, time series forecasting, FRED economic data, and more) for any AI agent that supports the open Agent Skills standard, created by K-Dense. Works with Cursor, Claude Code, Codex, and more. Transform your AI agent into a research assistant capable of executing complex multi-step scientific workflows across biology, chemistry, medicine, and beyond.

The demo above shows K-Dense Web — the hosted platform built on top of these skills. Claude Scientific Skills is the open-source skill collection; K-Dense Web is the full AI co-scientist platform with more power and zero setup.

These skills enable your AI agent to seamlessly work with specialized scientific libraries, databases, and tools across multiple scientific domains. While the agent can use any Python package or API on its own, these explicitly defined skills provide curated documentation and examples that make it significantly stronger and more reliable for the workflows below:
