Questions, answered from the data.
What is the best skill in google-deepmind/science-skills?
Alphafold Database Fetch And Analyze from google-deepmind/science-skills ranks first of the 40 skills in google-deepmind/science-skills listed here, with the highest score: its repository has 3.2k GitHub stars, 2 other GitHub owners carry a copy, its SKILL.md loads about 1.2k tokens and it passes the automated safety check with no findings. Next come Alphagenome Single Variant Analysis and Chembl Database.
Are the skills in google-deepmind/science-skills official?
None yet. All 40 skills in google-deepmind/science-skills listed here come from community repositories; a skill counts as official when the product's own GitHub organization publishes it.
How do I install all skills from google-deepmind/science-skills?
Run npx skills add google-deepmind/science-skills in your project: the open-source skills CLI installs the repository's skills into your coding agent's skills folder. To install a single skill, open its page here for the exact command.
How are these skills ranked?
By Skill Navigator score, which combines the GitHub stars of the skill's repository (shared across that repo's skills and discounted for large collections), how many other GitHub owners carry a copy of the skill, and automated SKILL.md quality checks, minus penalties for safety-check warnings and for each further skill from the same repository. Skills that fail the safety check are not listed.
