What it does

Datamol is an agent skill from davila7/claude-code-templates. Pythonic wrapper around RDKit with simplified interface and sensible defaults. Preferred for standard drug discovery: SMILES parsing, standardization, descriptors, fingerprints, clustering, 3D conformers, parallel processing. Returns native rdkit.Chem.Mol objects. For advanced control or custom parameters, use rdkit directly.

Its SKILL.md is about 4.7k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 7 other files, including reference files (for example `references/conformers_module.md`, `references/core_api.md` and `references/descriptors_viz.md`).

It sits in Research & Science, covering Drug discovery and cheminformatics. It works with RDKit. The repository describes itself as: CLI tool for configuring and monitoring Claude Code. The licence is MIT.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 14680ec. 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:

    • uv

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

  • Network

    Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):

    • docs.datamol.io
    • rdkit.org
    • github.com

    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

Datamol loads about 4.7k tokens when it runs, and up to ~13k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 84 tokens; SKILL.md has 593 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~84
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~4.7k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~13k

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.

Datamol Cheminformatics Skill

Overview

Datamol is a Python library that provides a lightweight, Pythonic abstraction layer over RDKit for molecular cheminformatics. Simplify complex molecular operations with sensible defaults, efficient parallelization, and modern I/O capabilities. All molecular objects are native rdkit.Chem.Mol instances, ensuring full compatibility with the RDKit ecosystem.

Key capabilities:

  • Molecular format conversion (SMILES, SELFIES, InChI)
  • Structure standardization and sanitization
  • Molecular descriptors and fingerprints
  • 3D conformer generation and analysis
  • Clustering and diversity selection
  • Scaffold and fragment analysis
  • Chemical reaction application
  • Visualization and alignment
  • Batch processing with parallelization
  • Cloud storage support via fsspec

Installation and Setup

Guide users to install datamol:

bash
uv pip install datamol

Import convention:

python
import datamol as dm

Core Workflows

1. Basic Molecule Handling

Creating molecules from SMILES:

python
import datamol as dm

# Single molecule
mol = dm.to_mol("CCO")  # Ethanol

# From list of SMILES
smiles_list = ["CCO", "c1ccccc1", "CC(=O)O"]
mols = [dm.to_mol(smi) for smi in smiles_list]

# Error handling
mol = dm.to_mol("invalid_smiles")  # Returns None
if mol is None:
    print("Failed to parse SMILES")

Converting molecules to SMILES:

python
# Canonical SMILES
smiles = dm.to_smiles(mol)

# Isomeric SMILES (includes stereochemistry)
smiles = dm.to_smiles(mol, isomeric=True)

# Other formats
inchi = dm.to_inchi(mol)
inchikey = dm.to_inchikey(mol)
selfies = dm.to_selfies(mol)

Standardization and sanitization (always recommend for user-provided molecules):

python
# Sanitize molecule
mol = dm.sanitize_mol(mol)

# Full standardization (recommended for datasets)
mol = dm.standardize_mol(
    mol,
    disconnect_metals=True,
    normalize=True,
    reionize=True
)

# For SMILES strings directly
clean_smiles = dm.standardize_smiles(smiles)
2. Reading and Writing Molecular Files

Refer to references/io_module.md for comprehensive I/O documentation.

Reading files:

python
# SDF files (most common in chemistry)
df = dm.read_sdf("compounds.sdf", mol_column='mol')

# SMILES files
df = dm.read_smi("molecules.smi", smiles_column='smiles', mol_column='mol')

# CSV with SMILES column
df = dm.read_csv("data.csv", smiles_column="SMILES", mol_column="mol")

# Excel files
df = dm.read_excel("compounds.xlsx", sheet_name=0, mol_column="mol")

# Universal reader (auto-detects format)
df = dm.open_df("file.sdf")  # Works with .sdf, .csv, .xlsx, .parquet, .json

Writing files:

python
# Save as SDF
dm.to_sdf(mols, "output.sdf")
# Or from DataFrame
dm.to_sdf(df, "output.sdf", mol_column="mol")

# Save as SMILES file
dm.to_smi(mols, "output.smi")

# Excel with rendered molecule images
dm.to_xlsx(df, "output.xlsx", mol_columns=["mol"])

Remote file support (S3, GCS, HTTP):

python
# Read from cloud storage
df = dm.read_sdf("s3://bucket/compounds.sdf")
df = dm.read_csv("https://example.com/data.csv")

# Write to cloud storage
dm.to_sdf(mols, "s3://bucket/output.sdf")
3. Molecular Descriptors and Properties

Refer to references/descriptors_viz.md for detailed descriptor documentation.

Computing descriptors for a single molecule:

python
# Get standard descriptor set
descriptors = dm.descriptors.compute_many_descriptors(mol)
# Returns: {'mw': 46.07, 'logp': -0.03, 'hbd': 1, 'hba': 1,
#           'tpsa': 20.23, 'n_aromatic_atoms': 0, ...}

Batch descriptor computation (recommended for datasets):

python
# Compute for all molecules in parallel
desc_df = dm.descriptors.batch_compute_many_descriptors(
    mols,
    n_jobs=-1,      # Use all CPU cores
    progress=True   # Show progress bar
)

Specific descriptors:

python
# Aromaticity
n_aromatic = dm.descriptors.n_aromatic_atoms(mol)
aromatic_ratio = dm.descriptors.n_aromatic_atoms_proportion(mol)

# Stereochemistry
n_stereo = dm.descriptors.n_stereo_centers(mol)
n_unspec = dm.descriptors.n_stereo_centers_unspecified(mol)

# Flexibility
n_rigid = dm.descriptors.n_rigid_bonds(mol)

Drug-likeness filtering (Lipinski's Rule of Five):

python
# Filter compounds
def is_druglike(mol):
    desc = dm.descriptors.compute_many_descriptors(mol)
    return (
        desc['mw'] <= 500 and
        desc['logp'] <= 5 and
        desc['hbd'] <= 5 and
        desc['hba'] <= 10
    )

druglike_mols = [mol for mol in mols if is_druglike(mol)]
4. Molecular Fingerprints and Similarity

Generating fingerprints:

python
# ECFP (Extended Connectivity Fingerprint, default)
fp = dm.to_fp(mol, fp_type='ecfp', radius=2, n_bits=2048)

# Other fingerprint types
fp_maccs = dm.to_fp(mol, fp_type='maccs')
fp_topological = dm.to_fp(mol, fp_type='topological')
fp_atompair = dm.to_fp(mol, fp_type='atompair')

Similarity calculations:

python
# Pairwise distances within a set
distance_matrix = dm.pdist(mols, n_jobs=-1)

# Distances between two sets
distances = dm.cdist(query_mols, library_mols, n_jobs=-1)

# Find most similar molecules
from scipy.spatial.distance import squareform
dist_matrix = squareform(dm.pdist(mols))
# Lower distance = higher similarity (Tanimoto distance = 1 - Tanimoto similarity)
5. Clustering and Diversity Selection

Refer to references/core_api.md for clustering details.

Butina clustering:

python
# Cluster molecules by structural similarity
clusters = dm.cluster_mols(
    mols,
    cutoff=0.2,    # Tanimoto distance threshold (0=identical, 1=completely different)
    n_jobs=-1      # Parallel processing
)

# Each cluster is a list of molecule indices
for i, cluster in enumerate(clusters):
    print(f"Cluster {i}: {len(cluster)} molecules")
    cluster_mols = [mols[idx] for idx in cluster]

Important: Butina clustering builds a full distance matrix - suitable for ~1000 molecules, not for 10,000+.

Diversity selection:

python
# Pick diverse subset
diverse_mols = dm.pick_diverse(
    mols,
    npick=100  # Select 100 diverse molecules
)

# Pick cluster centroids
centroids = dm.pick_centroids(
    mols,
    npick=50   # Select 50 representative molecules
)
6. Scaffold Analysis

Refer to references/fragments_scaffolds.md for complete scaffold documentation.

Extracting Murcko scaffolds:

python
# Get Bemis-Murcko scaffold (core structure)
scaffold = dm.to_scaffold_murcko(mol)
scaffold_smiles = dm.to_smiles(scaffold)

Scaffold-based analysis:

python
# Group compounds by scaffold
from collections import Counter

scaffolds = [dm.to_scaffold_murcko(mol) for mol in mols]
scaffold_smiles = [dm.to_smiles(s) for s in scaffolds]

# Count scaffold frequency
scaffold_counts = Counter(scaffold_smiles)
most_common = scaffold_counts.most_common(10)

# Create scaffold-to-molecules mapping
scaffold_groups = {}
for mol, scaf_smi in zip(mols, scaffold_smiles):
    if scaf_smi not in scaffold_groups:
        scaffold_groups[scaf_smi] = []
    scaffold_groups[scaf_smi].append(mol)

Scaffold-based train/test splitting (for ML):

python
# Ensure train and test sets have different scaffolds
scaffold_to_mols = {}
for mol, scaf in zip(mols, scaffold_smiles):
    if scaf not in scaffold_to_mols:
        scaffold_to_mols[scaf] = []
    scaffold_to_mols[scaf].append(mol)

# Split scaffolds into train/test
import random
scaffolds = list(scaffold_to_mols.keys())
random.shuffle(scaffolds)
split_idx = int(0.8 * len(scaffolds))
train_scaffolds = scaffolds[:split_idx]
test_scaffolds = scaffolds[split_idx:]

# Get molecules for each split
train_mols = [mol for scaf in train_scaffolds for mol in scaffold_to_mols[scaf]]
test_mols = [mol for scaf in test_scaffolds for mol in scaffold_to_mols[scaf]]
7. Molecular Fragmentation

Refer to references/fragments_scaffolds.md for fragmentation details.

BRICS fragmentation (16 bond types):

python
# Fragment molecule
fragments = dm.fragment.brics(mol)
# Returns: set of fragment SMILES with attachment points like '[1*]CCN'

RECAP fragmentation (11 bond types):

python
fragments = dm.fragment.recap(mol)

Fragment analysis:

python
# Find common fragments across compound library
from collections import Counter

all_fragments = []
for mol in mols:
    frags = dm.fragment.brics(mol)
    all_fragments.extend(frags)

fragment_counts = Counter(all_fragments)
common_frags = fragment_counts.most_common(20)

# Fragment-based scoring
def fragment_score(mol, reference_fragments):
    mol_frags = dm.fragment.brics(mol)
    overlap = mol_frags.intersection(reference_fragments)
    return len(overlap) / len(mol_frags) if mol_frags else 0
8. 3D Conformer Generation

Refer to references/conformers_module.md for detailed conformer documentation.

Generating conformers:

python
# Generate 3D conformers
mol_3d = dm.conformers.generate(
    mol,
    n_confs=50,           # Number to generate (auto if None)
    rms_cutoff=0.5,       # Filter similar conformers (Ångströms)
    minimize_energy=True,  # Minimize with UFF force field
    method='ETKDGv3'      # Embedding method (recommended)
)

# Access conformers
n_conformers = mol_3d.GetNumConformers()
conf = mol_3d.GetConformer(0)  # Get first conformer
positions = conf.GetPositions()  # Nx3 array of atom coordinates

Conformer clustering:

python
# Cluster conformers by RMSD
clusters = dm.conformers.cluster(
    mol_3d,
    rms_cutoff=1.0,
    centroids=False
)

# Get representative conformers
centroids = dm.conformers.return_centroids(mol_3d, clusters)

SASA calculation:

python
# Calculate solvent accessible surface area
sasa_values = dm.conformers.sasa(mol_3d, n_jobs=-1)

# Access SASA from conformer properties
conf = mol_3d.GetConformer(0)
sasa = conf.GetDoubleProp('rdkit_free_sasa')
9. Visualization

Refer to references/descriptors_viz.md for visualization documentation.

Basic molecule grid:

python
# Visualize molecules
dm.viz.to_image(
    mols[:20],
    legends=[dm.to_smiles(m) for m in mols[:20]],
    n_cols=5,
    mol_size=(300, 300)
)

# Save to file
dm.viz.to_image(mols, outfile="molecules.png")

# SVG for publications
dm.viz.to_image(mols, outfile="molecules.svg", use_svg=True)

Aligned visualization (for SAR analysis):

python
# Align molecules by common substructure
dm.viz.to_image(
    similar_mols,
    align=True,  # Enable MCS alignment
    legends=activity_labels,
    n_cols=4
)

Highlighting substructures:

python
# Highlight specific atoms and bonds
dm.viz.to_image(
    mol,
    highlight_atom=[0, 1, 2, 3],  # Atom indices
    highlight_bond=[0, 1, 2]      # Bond indices
)

Conformer visualization:

python
# Display multiple conformers
dm.viz.conformers(
    mol_3d,
    n_confs=10,
    align_conf=True,
    n_cols=3
)
10. Chemical Reactions

Refer to references/reactions_data.md for reactions documentation.

Applying reactions:

python
from rdkit.Chem import rdChemReactions

# Define reaction from SMARTS
rxn_smarts = '[C:1](=[O:2])[OH:3]>>[C:1](=[O:2])[Cl:3]'
rxn = rdChemReactions.ReactionFromSmarts(rxn_smarts)

# Apply to molecule
reactant = dm.to_mol("CC(=O)O")  # Acetic acid
product = dm.reactions.apply_reaction(
    rxn,
    (reactant,),
    sanitize=True
)

# Convert to SMILES
product_smiles = dm.to_smiles(product)

Batch reaction application:

python
# Apply reaction to library
products = []
for mol in reactant_mols:
    try:
        prod = dm.reactions.apply_reaction(rxn, (mol,))
        if prod is not None:
            products.append(prod)
    except Exception as e:
        print(f"Reaction failed: {e}")

Parallelization

Datamol includes built-in parallelization for many operations. Use n_jobs parameter:

  • n_jobs=1: Sequential (no parallelization)
  • n_jobs=-1: Use all available CPU cores
  • n_jobs=4: Use 4 cores

Functions supporting parallelization:

  • dm.read_sdf(..., n_jobs=-1)
  • dm.descriptors.batch_compute_many_descriptors(..., n_jobs=-1)
  • dm.cluster_mols(..., n_jobs=-1)
  • dm.pdist(..., n_jobs=-1)
  • dm.conformers.sasa(..., n_jobs=-1)

Progress bars: Many batch operations support progress=True parameter.

Common Workflows and Patterns

Complete Pipeline: Data Loading → Filtering → Analysis
python
import datamol as dm
import pandas as pd

# 1. Load molecules
df = dm.read_sdf("compounds.sdf")

# 2. Standardize
df['mol'] = df['mol'].apply(lambda m: dm.standardize_mol(m) if m else None)
df = df[df['mol'].notna()]  # Remove failed molecules

# 3. Compute descriptors
desc_df = dm.descriptors.batch_compute_many_descriptors(
    df['mol'].tolist(),
    n_jobs=-1,
    progress=True
)

# 4. Filter by drug-likeness
druglike = (
    (desc_df['mw'] <= 500) &
    (desc_df['logp'] <= 5) &
    (desc_df['hbd'] <= 5) &
    (desc_df['hba'] <= 10)
)
filtered_df = df[druglike]

# 5. Cluster and select diverse subset
diverse_mols = dm.pick_diverse(
    filtered_df['mol'].tolist(),
    npick=100
)

# 6. Visualize results
dm.viz.to_image(
    diverse_mols,
    legends=[dm.to_smiles(m) for m in diverse_mols],
    outfile="diverse_compounds.png",
    n_cols=10
)
Structure-Activity Relationship (SAR) Analysis
python
# Group by scaffold
scaffolds = [dm.to_scaffold_murcko(mol) for mol in mols]
scaffold_smiles = [dm.to_smiles(s) for s in scaffolds]

# Create DataFrame with activities
sar_df = pd.DataFrame({
    'mol': mols,
    'scaffold': scaffold_smiles,
    'activity': activities  # User-provided activity data
})

# Analyze each scaffold series
for scaffold, group in sar_df.groupby('scaffold'):
    if len(group) >= 3:  # Need multiple examples
        print(f"\nScaffold: {scaffold}")
        print(f"Count: {len(group)}")
        print(f"Activity range: {group['activity'].min():.2f} - {group['activity'].max():.2f}")

        # Visualize with activities as legends
        dm.viz.to_image(
            group['mol'].tolist(),
            legends=[f"Activity: {act:.2f}" for act in group['activity']],
            align=True  # Align by common substructure
        )

Virtual Screening Pipeline
python
# 1. Generate fingerprints for query and library
query_fps = [dm.to_fp(mol) for mol in query_actives]
library_fps = [dm.to_fp(mol) for mol in library_mols]

# 2. Calculate similarities
from scipy.spatial.distance import cdist
import numpy as np

distances = dm.cdist(query_actives, library_mols, n_jobs=-1)

# 3. Find closest matches (min distance to any query)
min_distances = distances.min(axis=0)
similarities = 1 - min_distances  # Convert distance to similarity

# 4. Rank and select top hits
top_indices = np.argsort(similarities)[::-1][:100]  # Top 100
top_hits = [library_mols[i] for i in top_indices]
top_scores = [similarities[i] for i in top_indices]

# 5. Visualize hits
dm.viz.to_image(
    top_hits[:20],
    legends=[f"Sim: {score:.3f}" for score in top_scores[:20]],
    outfile="screening_hits.png"
)

Reference Documentation

For detailed API documentation, consult these reference files:

  • references/core_api.md: Core namespace functions (conversions, standardization, fingerprints, clustering)
  • references/io_module.md: File I/O operations (read/write SDF, CSV, Excel, remote files)
  • references/conformers_module.md: 3D conformer generation, clustering, SASA calculations
  • references/descriptors_viz.md: Molecular descriptors and visualization functions
  • references/fragments_scaffolds.md: Scaffold extraction, BRICS/RECAP fragmentation
  • references/reactions_data.md: Chemical reactions and toy datasets

Best Practices

  1. Always standardize molecules from external sources:

    python
    mol = dm.standardize_mol(mol, disconnect_metals=True, normalize=True, reionize=True)
  2. Check for None values after molecule parsing:

    python
    mol = dm.to_mol(smiles)
    if mol is None:
        # Handle invalid SMILES
  3. Use parallel processing for large datasets:

    python
    result = dm.operation(..., n_jobs=-1, progress=True)
  4. Leverage fsspec for cloud storage:

    python
    df = dm.read_sdf("s3://bucket/compounds.sdf")
  5. Use appropriate fingerprints for similarity:

    • ECFP (Morgan): General purpose, structural similarity
    • MACCS: Fast, smaller feature space
    • Atom pairs: Considers atom pairs and distances
  6. Consider scale limitations:

    • Butina clustering: ~1,000 molecules (full distance matrix)
    • For larger datasets: Use diversity selection or hierarchical methods
  7. Scaffold splitting for ML: Ensure proper train/test separation by scaffold

  8. Align molecules when visualizing SAR series

Error Handling

python
# Safe molecule creation
def safe_to_mol(smiles):
    try:
        mol = dm.to_mol(smiles)
        if mol is not None:
            mol = dm.standardize_mol(mol)
        return mol
    except Exception as e:
        print(f"Failed to process {smiles}: {e}")
        return None

# Safe batch processing
valid_mols = []
for smiles in smiles_list:
    mol = safe_to_mol(smiles)
    if mol is not None:
        valid_mols.append(mol)

Integration with Machine Learning

python
# Feature generation
X = np.array([dm.to_fp(mol) for mol in mols])

# Or descriptors
desc_df = dm.descriptors.batch_compute_many_descriptors(mols, n_jobs=-1)
X = desc_df.values

# Train model
from sklearn.ensemble import RandomForestRegressor
model = RandomForestRegressor()
model.fit(X, y_target)

# Predict
predictions = model.predict(X_test)

Troubleshooting

Issue: Molecule parsing fails

  • Solution: Use dm.standardize_smiles() first or try dm.fix_mol()

Issue: Memory errors with clustering

  • Solution: Use dm.pick_diverse() instead of full clustering for large sets

Issue: Slow conformer generation

  • Solution: Reduce n_confs or increase rms_cutoff to generate fewer conformers

Issue: Remote file access fails

  • Solution: Ensure fsspec and appropriate cloud provider libraries are installed (s3fs, gcsfs, etc.)
