Scientific Agent Skills grows to 177 skills covering 100+ scientific databases

K-Dense AI's Scientific Agent Skills collection now bundles 177 skills that plug into coding agents and turn them into research assistants. Each skill covers one concrete workflow — sequence analysis, molecular docking, single-cell RNA-seq, publication-quality figures, grant writing — with the conventions and checks the underlying tools need. Thirteen of the skills are database accessors that reach more than 100 scientific databases in total. The repo works with Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Google Antigravity and other hosts that follow the Agent Skills standard, and installation is a single npx or gh skill command. The project has passed 51,000 GitHub stars, runs automated skill tests and security scans in CI, and is documented in an arXiv paper the authors ask researchers to cite. K-Dense also ships a free desktop companion, BYOK, that runs all the skills locally on the user's own API keys.
