Scientific Agent Skills is an open-source collection of ready-to-use agent skills designed to turn AI coding assistants into stronger research, science, engineering, and analysis partners. It supports any AI agent compatible with the Agent Skills standard, including tools such as Cursor, Claude Code, Codex, and Gemini CLI. The repository includes 135 skills across scientific domains such as genomics, cheminformatics, clinical research, medical imaging, machine learning, physics, materials science, geospatial analysis, and scientific writing. Each skill provides curated documentation, examples, best practices, and integration guidance so agents can execute complex workflows more reliably. It is especially useful for researchers who need AI assistance with databases, Python libraries, literature review, data analysis, and scientific communication. The project also emphasizes extensibility, security review, and practical installation through npx or GitHub CLI.
