pdb-databaseAccess RCSB PDB for 3D protein/nucleic acid structures. An agent skill from davila7/claude-code-templates.
Pdb Database is an agent skill from davila7/claude-code-templates. Access RCSB PDB for 3D protein/nucleic acid structures. Search by text/sequence/structure, download coordinates (PDB/mmCIF), retrieve metadata, for structural biology and drug discovery.
Its SKILL.md is about 2.3k 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 and Drug discovery and cheminformatics. The repository describes itself as: CLI tool for configuring and monitoring Claude Code. The licence is MIT.
5 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 4c82aba. 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.orgAlso links to:
rcsb.orgpdb101.rcsb.orgrcsbapi.readthedocs.iodata.rcsb.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.
Pdb Database loads about 2.3k tokens when it runs, and up to ~6.1k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 50 tokens; SKILL.md has 528 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.RCSB PDB is the worldwide repository for 3D structural data of biological macromolecules. Search for structures, retrieve coordinates and metadata, perform sequence and structure similarity searches across 200,000+ experimentally determined structures and computed models.
This skill should be used when:
Find PDB entries using various search criteria:
Text Search: Search by protein name, keywords, or descriptions
from rcsbapi.search import TextQuery
query = TextQuery("hemoglobin")
results = list(query())
print(f"Found {len(results)} structures")Attribute Search: Query specific properties (organism, resolution, method, etc.)

# High-resolution human proteins

)
combined_query = query1 & query2 # AND operation
results = list(combined_query())Access detailed information about specific PDB entries:
Basic Entry Information:
from rcsbapi.data import Schema, fetch
# Get entry-level data
entry_data = fetch("4HHB", schema=Schema.ENTRY)
print(entry_data["struct"]["title"])
print(entry_data["exptl"][0]["method"])Polymer Entity Information:
# Get protein/nucleic acid information
entity_data = fetch("4HHB_1", schema=Schema.POLYMER_ENTITY)
print(entity_data["entity_poly"]["pdbx_seq_one_letter_code"])Using GraphQL for Flexible Queries:
from rcsbapi.data import fetch
# Custom GraphQL query
query = """
{

method = data.get("exptl", [{}])[0].get("method")
deposition_date = data.get("rcsb_accession_info", {}).get("deposit_date")
print(f"Resolution: {resolution} Å")
print(f"Method: {method}")
print(f"Deposited: {deposition_date}")Process multiple structures efficiently:
from rcsbapi.data import fetch, Schema
pdb_ids = ["4HHB", "1MBN", "1GZX"] # Hemoglobin, myoglobin, etc.
results = {}
for pdb_id in pdb_ids:
try:

# Display results
for pdb_id, info in results.items():
print(f"\n{pdb_id}: {info['title']}")
print(f" Resolution: {info['resolution']} Å")
print(f" Organism: {info['organism']}")Install the official RCSB PDB Python API client:
# Current recommended package
uv pip install rcsb-api
# For legacy code (deprecated, use rcsb-api instead)
uv pip install rcsbsearchapiThe rcsb-api package provides unified access to both Search and Data APIs through the rcsbapi.search and rcsbapi.data modules.
PDB ID: Unique 4-character identifier (e.g., "4HHB") for each structure entry. AlphaFold and ModelArchive entries start with "AF_" or "MA_" prefixes.
mmCIF/PDBx: Modern file format that uses key-value structure, replacing legacy PDB format for large structures.
Biological Assembly: The functional form of a macromolecule, which may contain multiple copies of chains from the asymmetric unit.
Resolution: Measure of detail in crystallographic structures (lower values = higher detail). Typical range: 1.5-3.5 Å for high-quality structures.
Entity: A unique molecular component in a structure (protein chain, DNA, ligand, etc.).

Pdb Database fits situations like: tasks that involve Protein structure and design; tasks that involve Drug discovery and cheminformatics.
Run `npx skills add davila7/claude-code-templates --skill pdb-database -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (cli-tool/components/skills/scientific/pdb-database in davila7/claude-code-templates) into .claude/skills/pdb-database in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.
Run `npx skills add davila7/claude-code-templates --skill pdb-database -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (cli-tool/components/skills/scientific/pdb-database in davila7/claude-code-templates) 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 davila7/claude-code-templates --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 6 domains. In commands or code: files.rcsb.org; the agent is likely to contact it when it follows the instructions. As links in the text: rcsb.org, pdb101.rcsb.org, rcsbapi.readthedocs.io, data.rcsb.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.
Pdb 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 2.3k tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 9.2k 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 3.8k 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 Chai1 (JimLiu/science-skills, 227 stars).
