  • Calls python3
  • Tasks that involve Bioinformatics

What it does

Scientific Computing is an agent skill from A-EVO-Lab/a-evolve. Strategies for scientific computing, numerical methods, bioinformatics/DNA tasks, logic circuit design, algorithmic challenges, and ML training tasks.

Its SKILL.md is about 500 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Research & Science, covering Math and symbolic computation and Bioinformatics. The repository describes itself as: The official repository of "Position: Agentic Evolution is the Path to Evolving LLMs".

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Math and symbolic computation
  • Tasks that involve Bioinformatics

Example prompts

  • “Use the scientific-computing skill to strategy for scientific computing, numerical methods, bioinformatics/DNA tasks, logic circuit design…”
  • “/scientific-computing”

Requirements

  • Python 3

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 18ba996. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • python3

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Scientific Computing loads about 495 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 43 tokens; SKILL.md has 211 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~43
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~495

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 211 words (~495 tokens).

“Multi-step scientific analysis MUST be written as a single .py file to avoid state loss:”

When should I use Scientific Computing?

Scientific Computing fits situations like: tasks that involve Math and symbolic computation; tasks that involve Bioinformatics.

How do I install Scientific Computing in Claude Code?

Run `npx skills add A-EVO-Lab/a-evolve --skill scientific-computing -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (seed_workspaces/terminal/skills/scientific-computing in A-EVO-Lab/a-evolve) into .claude/skills/scientific-computing in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.

How do I install Scientific Computing in Codex?

Run `npx skills add A-EVO-Lab/a-evolve --skill scientific-computing -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (seed_workspaces/terminal/skills/scientific-computing in A-EVO-Lab/a-evolve) into .agents/skills/scientific-computing in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.

Can I use Scientific Computing in Cursor, Gemini CLI or GitHub Copilot?

Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add A-EVO-Lab/a-evolve --skill scientific-computing -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/scientific-computing, .gemini/skills/scientific-computing, .github/skills/scientific-computing and .opencode/skills/scientific-computing in your project.

What does Scientific Computing need to run?

Going by SKILL.md and its folder, Scientific Computing needs the command-line tools its instructions call (python3). Our summary lists: Python 3.

Does Scientific Computing access the network?

SKILL.md contains no URLs. Any network use would come from the scripts or tools the agent runs. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.

Is Scientific Computing safe to install?

Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. Review the folder before installing.

What licence does Scientific Computing use?

No licence was found for Scientific Computing or its repository. Without one, default copyright applies: ask the author before reusing or redistributing it.

How many tokens does Scientific Computing use?

About 495 tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 2k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full.

What are the alternatives to Scientific Computing?

Skills that share tags, products or a category with Scientific Computing: Sympy (zLanqing/codex-claude-academic-skills, 4.6k stars), Alphagenome Single Variant Analysis (google-deepmind/science-skills, 3.2k stars), Edu Analytic Geometry (wy51ai/edulab, 1.4k stars) and 13C Metabolic Flux Analysis (K-Dense-AI/scientific-agent-skills, 48k stars). The comparison table on this page puts their stars, adoption, token cost, safety result and licence side by side.
