Goal-oriented binder design campaign planning and health assessment.

  • Planning a complete binder design campaign
  • SKILL.md covers Goal-oriented design, Complete pipeline generator, Campaign size recommendations and Tool selection guide, plus 4 more sections
  • Calls modal, python and curl; reaches files.rcsb.org
  • Converting high-level goals into runnable pipelines

What it does

Campaign Manager is an agent skill from adaptyvbio/protein-design-skills. Goal-oriented binder design campaign planning and health assessment. Use this skill when: (1) Planning a complete binder design campaign, (2) Converting high-level goals into runnable pipelines, (3) Assessing campaign health and pass rates, (4) Diagnosing why designs are failing QC, (5) Estimating time, cost, and expected yields, (6) Selecting between design tools for a specific target. This skill orchestrates the other protein design tools. For individual tool parameters, use the specific tool skills.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.8k 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 Protein structure and design. The repository describes itself as: Claude Code skills for protein design. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Planning a complete binder design campaign
  • Converting high-level goals into runnable pipelines
  • Assessing campaign health and pass rates
  • Diagnosing why designs are failing QC

Example prompts

  • “/campaign-manager”

Requirements

  • Python 3

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 59dd633. 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:

    • modal
    • python
    • curl

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

  • Network

    Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:

    • files.rcsb.org

    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

Campaign Manager loads about 1.8k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 131 tokens; SKILL.md has 297 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~131
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.8k

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.

Campaign Manager

Goal-oriented design

From goal to pipeline

When user says: "I need 10 good binders for EGFR"

Campaign Planning:

Goal: 10 high-quality binders for EGFR
├── Achievable: Yes (standard target)
├── Recommended pipeline: rfdiffusion → proteinmpnn → chai → protein-qc
├── Estimated designs needed: 500 backbones (to get ~50 passing QC)
├── Estimated time: 8-12 hours total
├── Estimated cost: ~$60 (Modal GPU compute)
└── Expected yield:
    ├── After backbone (500): 500 structures
    ├── After sequence (×8): 4,000 sequences
    ├── After validation: 4,000 predictions
    ├── After QC (~10-15%): 400-600 candidates
    └── After clustering: 10-20 diverse final designs

Complete pipeline generator

Standard miniprotein binder campaign
bash
# Step 1: Fetch and prepare target (5 min)
curl -o target.pdb "https://files.rcsb.org/download/{PDB_ID}.pdb"
# Trim to binding region if needed

# Step 2: Generate backbones (2-3h, ~$15)
# RFdiffusion runs from the official repo, not biomodals
python run_inference.py \
  inference.input_pdb=target.pdb \
  contigmap.contigs=[A1-150/0 70-100] \
  ppi.hotspot_res=[A45,A67,A89] \
  inference.num_designs=500

# Checkpoint: ls output/*.pdb | wc -l  # Should be 500

# Step 3: Design sequences (1-2h, ~$10)
for f in output/*.pdb; do
  modal run modal_ligandmpnn.py \
    --input-pdb "$f" \
    --params-str "--number_of_batches 8 --temperature 0.1"
done

# Checkpoint: grep -c "^>" output/seqs/*.fa  # Should be ~4000

# Step 4: Quick ESM2 filter (30 min, ~$5, optional)
modal run modal_esm2_predict_masked.py --input-faa output/all_seqs.fa
# Filter sequences with PLL < 0.0

# Step 5: Structure validation (3-4h, ~$35)
modal run modal_alphafold.py \
  --input-faa output/filtered_seqs.fa \
  --out-dir predictions/

# Checkpoint: find predictions -name "*rank_001.pdb" | wc -l

# Step 6: Filter and rank (protein-qc skill)
# Apply thresholds: pLDDT > 0.85, ipTM > 0.5, scRMSD < 2.0
# Compute composite score
# Cluster at 70% identity, select top from each cluster

Total estimated time: 8-12 hours Total estimated cost: ~$60-70
