alphafold-databaseAccess AlphaFold's 200M+ AI-predicted protein structures. An agent skill from davila7/claude-code-templates.
Alphafold Database is an agent skill from davila7/claude-code-templates. Access AlphaFold's 200M+ AI-predicted protein structures. Retrieve structures by UniProt ID, download PDB/mmCIF files, analyze confidence metrics (pLDDT, PAE), for drug discovery and structural biology.
Its SKILL.md is about 4k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including reference files (for example `references/api_reference.md`).
It sits in Research & Science, covering Protein structure and design. It works with AlphaFold, UniProt and Google Cloud. The repository describes itself as: CLI tool for configuring and monitoring Claude Code. The licence is MIT.
6 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 14680ec. 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:
uvgsutilFrom 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:
alphafold.ebi.ac.ukebi.ac.ukuniprot.orgAlso links to:
doi.orgcloud.google.combiopython.orggithub.comFrom 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.
Alphafold Database loads about 4k tokens when it runs, and up to ~7.1k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 55 tokens; SKILL.md has 797 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.

This skill also uses 1 other file; get the full folder from GitHub.AlphaFold DB is a public repository of AI-predicted 3D protein structures for over 200 million proteins, maintained by DeepMind and EMBL-EBI. Access structure predictions with confidence metrics, download coordinate files, retrieve bulk datasets, and integrate predictions into computational workflows.
This skill should be used when working with AI-predicted protein structures in scenarios such as:
Using Biopython (Recommended):
The Biopython library provides the simplest interface for retrieving AlphaFold structures:
from Bio.PDB import alphafold_db
# Get all predictions for a UniProt accession
predictions = list(alphafold_db.get_predictions("P00520"))
# Download structure file (mmCIF format)
for prediction in predictions:
cif_file = alphafold_db.download_cif_for(prediction, directory="./structures")
print(f"Downloaded: {cif_file}")
# Get Structure objects directly
from Bio.PDB import MMCIFParser
structures = list(alphafold_db.get_structural_models_for("P00520"))Direct API Access:
Query predictions using REST endpoints:
import requests
# Get prediction metadata for a UniProt accession
uniprot_id = "P00520"
api_url = f"https://alphafold.ebi.ac.uk/api/prediction/{uniprot_id}"
response = requests.get(api_url)
prediction_data = response.json()
# Extract AlphaFold ID
alphafold_id = prediction_data[0]['entryId']
print(f"AlphaFold ID: {alphafold_id}")Using UniProt to Find Accessions:
Search UniProt to find protein accessions first:
import urllib.parse, urllib.request
def get_uniprot_ids(query, query_type='PDB_ID'):
"""Query UniProt to get accession IDs"""
url = 'https://www.uniprot.org/uploadlists/'
params = {
'from': query_type,
'to': 'ACC',
'format': 'txt',
'query': query
}
data = urllib.parse.urlencode(params).encode('ascii')
with urllib.request.urlopen(urllib.request.Request(url, data)) as response:
return response.read().decode('utf-8').splitlines()
# Example: Find UniProt IDs for a protein name
protein_ids = get_uniprot_ids("hemoglobin", query_type="GENE_NAME")AlphaFold provides multiple file formats for each prediction:

AlphaFold ID: Internal identifier format: AF-[UniProt accession]-F[fragment number] (e.g., "AF-P00520-F1").
pLDDT (predicted Local Distance Difference Test): Per-residue confidence metric (0-100). Higher values indicate more confident predictions.
PAE (Predicted Aligned Error): Matrix indicating confidence in relative positions between residue pairs. Low values (<5 Å) suggest confident relative positioning.
Database Version: Current version is v4. File URLs include version suffix (e.g., model_v4.cif).

Access AlphaFold's 200M+ AI-predicted protein structures. An agent skill from davila7/claude-code-templates. Alphafold Database is an agent skill from davila7/claude-code-templates. Access AlphaFold's 200M+ AI-predicted protein structures.
Alphafold Database fits situations like: tasks that involve Protein structure and design.
Run `npx skills add davila7/claude-code-templates --skill alphafold-database -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (cli-tool/components/skills/scientific/alphafold-database in davila7/claude-code-templates) into .claude/skills/alphafold-database in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.
Run `npx skills add davila7/claude-code-templates --skill alphafold-database -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (cli-tool/components/skills/scientific/alphafold-database in davila7/claude-code-templates) into .agents/skills/alphafold-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 davila7/claude-code-templates --skill alphafold-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/alphafold-database, .gemini/skills/alphafold-database, .github/skills/alphafold-database and .opencode/skills/alphafold-database in your project.
Going by SKILL.md and its folder, Alphafold Database needs the command-line tools its instructions call (uv and gsutil). Our summary lists: Python 3.
SKILL.md names 7 domains. In commands or code: alphafold.ebi.ac.uk, ebi.ac.uk and uniprot.org; the agent is likely to contact these when it follows the instructions. As links in the text: doi.org, cloud.google.com, biopython.org and github.com. 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.
Alphafold Database is published under the MIT licence (the repository's licence). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.
About 4k tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 16k 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 3.1k tokens, read only when the agent opens those files.
