diffdockDiffusion-based docking that predicts protein-ligand poses without a predefined site.
Diffdock is an agent skill from jaechang-hits/SciAgent-Skills. Diffusion-based docking that predicts protein-ligand poses without a predefined site. Use for blind docking, when traditional docking fails, or exploring multiple binding modes. Pipeline: prep protein (PDB) and ligand (SMILES/SDF), run inference, analyze confidence-ranked poses.
Its SKILL.md is about 3.2k 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 Drug discovery and cheminformatics and Protein structure and design. The repository describes itself as: 197 bioinformatics & life science skills for Claude Code and AI agents — BixBench 92.0% accuracy. RNA-seq, single-cell, drug discovery, proteomics, and more. Powers OmicsHorizon. The licence is MIT.
6 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 82c862c. 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:
pipcondapythongitFrom 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:
github.comdownload.pytorch.orgAlso links to:
arxiv.orghuggingface.copatentsview.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.
Diffdock loads about 3.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 72 tokens; SKILL.md has 660 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.

.claude/skills/diffdock/SKILL.md (or your agent's skills folder).DiffDock uses a diffusion generative model to predict protein-ligand binding poses directly from protein structure and ligand SMILES, treating docking as a generative rather than a search problem. Unlike traditional docking tools (AutoDock Vina, Glide), DiffDock does not require a predefined binding site — it samples poses across the full protein surface. It outputs a ranked set of binding poses with associated confidence scores. DiffDock excels at blind docking tasks and produces diverse pose hypotheses, making it valuable for de novo binding site discovery and challenging targets.

Diffusion-based docking that predicts protein-ligand poses without a predefined site. Diffdock is an agent skill from jaechang-hits/SciAgent-Skills. Diffusion-based docking that predicts protein-ligand poses without a predefined site.
Diffdock fits situations like: traditional docking fails; exploring multiple binding modes.
Run `npx skills add jaechang-hits/SciAgent-Skills --skill diffdock -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (skills/structural-biology-drug-discovery/diffdock in jaechang-hits/SciAgent-Skills) into .claude/skills/diffdock in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.
Run `npx skills add jaechang-hits/SciAgent-Skills --skill diffdock -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (skills/structural-biology-drug-discovery/diffdock in jaechang-hits/SciAgent-Skills) into .agents/skills/diffdock 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 jaechang-hits/SciAgent-Skills --skill diffdock -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/diffdock, .gemini/skills/diffdock, .github/skills/diffdock and .opencode/skills/diffdock in your project.
Going by SKILL.md and its folder, Diffdock needs the command-line tools its instructions call (pip, conda, python and git). Our summary lists: Python 3.
SKILL.md names 5 domains. In commands or code: github.com and download.pytorch.org; the agent is likely to contact these when it follows the instructions. As links in the text: arxiv.org, huggingface.co and patentsview.org. 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.
Diffdock is published under the MIT licence (declared in SKILL.md). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.
About 3.2k tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 13k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full.
Skills that share tags, products or a category with Diffdock: 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.
