Pdb Database is an agent skill from aipoch/medical-research-skills. Access the RCSB Protein Data Bank (PDB) to search, download, and programmatically retrieve 3D macromolecular structures and metadata; use when you need structure discovery (text/sequence/3D similarity) or automated structural data ingestion for structural biology and drug discovery workflows.
Its SKILL.md is about 1.6k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 3 other files, including reference files (for example `pdb-database_audit_result_v1.json` and `references/api_reference.md`).
It sits in Research & Science, covering Data pipelines and ETL, Protein structure and design and Drug discovery and cheminformatics. The repository describes itself as: Hundreds of agent skills for medical research, including protocol design, data analysis, evidence insights, and academic writing. The licence is MIT.
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 686e09d. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
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.
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
uvFrom the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:
files.rcsb.orgFrom URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Pdb Database loads about 1.6k tokens when it runs, and up to ~5.6k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 77 tokens; SKILL.md has 374 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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.
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.

Run `npx skills add aipoch/medical-research-skills --skill pdb-database -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (scientific-skills/Evidence Insight/pdb-database in aipoch/medical-research-skills) into .claude/skills/pdb-database in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.
Run `npx skills add aipoch/medical-research-skills --skill pdb-database -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (scientific-skills/Evidence Insight/pdb-database in aipoch/medical-research-skills) into .agents/skills/pdb-database in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.
Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add aipoch/medical-research-skills --skill pdb-database -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/pdb-database, .gemini/skills/pdb-database, .github/skills/pdb-database and .opencode/skills/pdb-database in your project.
Going by SKILL.md and its folder, Pdb Database needs the command-line tools its instructions call (uv). Our summary lists: Python 3.
SKILL.md names 1 domain. In commands or code: files.rcsb.org; the agent is likely to contact it when it follows the instructions. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.
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.
Pdb Database is published under the MIT licence (declared in SKILL.md). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.
About 1.6k tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 6.2k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full. Its references folder adds about 4k tokens, read only when the agent opens those files.
Skills that share tags, products or a category with Pdb Database: DiffDock Molecular Docking (K-Dense-AI/scientific-agent-skills, 48k stars), Biopipelines (locbp-uzh/biopipelines, 109 stars), Tooluniverse (ynulihao/AgentSkillOS, 617 stars) and Pdb Database (davila7/claude-code-templates, 32k stars). The comparison table on this page puts their stars, adoption, token cost, safety result and licence side by side.
