Scientific Agent Skills at a glance
Checked 18 Oct 2026Scientific Agent Skills (formerly Claude Scientific Skills) is a library of 177 Agent Skills from K-Dense covering scientific Python packages, 100+ databases and research workflows. It installs with `npx skills add` or `gh skill` into Cursor, Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI and similar agents. Installing the skills does not install their Python dependencies (uv needed), and some skills need third-party API keys. The repo is MIT, but each skill declares its own licence. It needs an AI agent to run and does not replace a paid product.
