AI agents and automation

scientific-agent-skills

by K-Dense-AI

A library of 177 ready-made skills that teach AI coding agents how to use scientific tools, databases and workflows in biology, chemistry, medicine, physics and data analysis. It is meant for researchers who want their AI agent to follow proper scientific methods and checks.

What you can do with it

  • Add skills to an agent such as Claude Code, Cursor or Codex so it can analyse genomics or proteomics data
  • Have an agent query scientific databases and run drug discovery steps such as molecular docking or property prediction
  • Produce publication-quality figures and statistical analyses with guided, validated workflows

Make money with it

A freelance scientist or analyst could offer faster bioinformatics, cheminformatics or data analysis services by using an AI agent equipped with these skills.

An idea, not financial advice. Check the licence before charging for anything built on it.

Ways a business could use it

  • A small biotech, consultancy or lab could speed up routine data analysis and literature or database lookups, reducing analyst hours.
  • A freelance bioinformatician or data analyst could use it to deliver research analysis and reports to clients faster.

Can you use it commercially?

Free to use, change and sell, including in paid products. Keep the copyright notice.

Not legal advice. Read the project's licence file before building a product on it.

Getting it running

The skills are copied or installed into a compatible AI agent (such as Claude Code or Cursor) that supports the Agent Skills standard, and some skills need extra Python packages.

Follow the official instructions in the project README.

Things to check

  • Needs an AI agent with its own paid model or API access
  • Outputs are for research use only and must be checked by an expert, especially for clinical or medical topics
  • Some skills depend on third-party databases and packages with their own terms

Agent-Reach Panniantong
Worth a look

Agent Reach is a command-line tool that lets AI coding agents search and read sites they normally cannot reach, such as Reddit, X (Twitter), YouTube, Bilibili, XiaoHongShu and GitHub. It returns clean, read-only results through one command, using free upstream tools rather than paid APIs.

TradingAgents TauricResearch
Worth a look

TradingAgents is a Python framework that uses several AI agents, each with a different role such as fundamentals, news, sentiment and technical analysis, to discuss a stock and produce a trading recommendation. It is built for research and for experimenting with multi-agent setups, not for giving financial advice.
