Claude Scientific Skills is a large open source collection of ready-to-use scientific capabilities that extend AI coding agents into full research assistants. The project provides more than 170 curated skills covering domains such as genomics, drug discovery, medical imaging, physics, and advanced data analysis. Each skill bundles documentation, examples, and tool integrations so agents can reliably execute complex multi-step scientific workflows. The framework follows the open Agent Skills standard and works with multiple AI development environments including Claude Code, Cursor, and Codex. Its primary goal is to reduce the friction of scientific computing by giving AI agents structured access to specialized libraries, databases, and research pipelines. Overall, the repository acts as a modular capability layer that transforms general AI agents into domain-aware computational scientists.
