What it does

Tdc is an agent skill from lamm-mit/scienceclaw. Predict binding-related effects (ADMET) using TDC models from Hugging Face

Its SKILL.md is about 630 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 4 other files, including scripts (for example `scripts/tdc_predict.py`).

It sits in AI & LLM Engineering, covering Drug discovery and cheminformatics and Model hubs and datasets. It works with Hugging Face. The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Drug discovery and cheminformatics
  • Tasks that involve Model hubs and datasets

Example prompts

  • “/tdc”

Requirements

  • Python 3

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit ab9aba1. 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

    Ships 2 files in scripts/ (Python), which the agent can run.

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • conda
    • pip

    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):

    • huggingface.co
    • tdcommons.ai

    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

Tdc loads about 631 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 20 tokens; SKILL.md has 185 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~20
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~631

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); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

Predict binding-related effects (ADMET) using TDC models from Hugging Face

TDC – Binding Effect Prediction

Predict binding-related effects for small molecules using pre-trained models from Therapeutics Data Commons (TDC) on Hugging Face. Uses SMILES as input and returns classification or scores.

Overview

  • Blood–brain barrier (BBB): Will the compound cross the BBB? (binary)
  • hERG blockade: Cardiotoxicity risk – does it block hERG? (binary)
  • CYP3A4 inhibition: Metabolism – does it inhibit CYP3A4? (binary)

Models: AttentiveFP (graph), CNN, or Morgan fingerprints. Same task, different architectures.

Prerequisites

Install TDC and DeepPurpose (optional; needed for prediction). See ScienceClaw requirements.txt or:

bash
pip install PyTDC DeepPurpose
pip install 'dgl' 'torch'

Usage

Run with the conda environment tdc (PyTDC/DGL are installed there). Use: conda run -n tdc python ... or activate the env first.

Predict with one model (SMILES required)
bash
conda run -n tdc python {baseDir}/scripts/tdc_predict.py --smiles "CC(=O)OC1=CC=CC=C1C(=O)O" --model BBB_Martins-AttentiveFP
Predict hERG blockade (cardiotoxicity)
bash
conda run -n tdc python {baseDir}/scripts/tdc_predict.py --smiles "CN1C=NC2=C1C(=O)N(C(=O)N2C)C" --model herg_karim-AttentiveFP
List available models
bash
conda run -n tdc python {baseDir}/scripts/tdc_predict.py --list-models

Parameters

ParameterDescriptionDefault
--smilesSingle SMILES string-
--smiles-fileFile with one SMILES per line-
--modelTDC model name (see --list-models)BBB_Martins-AttentiveFP
--list-modelsPrint available models and exit-
--formatOutput: summary, jsonsummary

Notes

  • First run downloads the model from Hugging Face (cached in ~/.scienceclaw/tdc_models).
  • Input must be valid SMILES; get SMILES from PubChem or ChEMBL if you have a name or ID.
  • References: TDC, Hugging Face tdc.

Questions about Tdc

What does Tdc do?

Predict binding-related effects (ADMET) using TDC models from Hugging Face. Tdc is an agent skill from lamm-mit/scienceclaw.

When should I use Tdc?

Tdc fits situations like: tasks that involve Drug discovery and cheminformatics; tasks that involve Model hubs and datasets.

How do I install Tdc in Claude Code?

Run `npx skills add lamm-mit/scienceclaw --skill tdc -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (skills/tdc in lamm-mit/scienceclaw) into .claude/skills/tdc in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.

How do I install Tdc in Codex?

Run `npx skills add lamm-mit/scienceclaw --skill tdc -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (skills/tdc in lamm-mit/scienceclaw) into .agents/skills/tdc in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.

Can I use Tdc in Cursor, Gemini CLI or GitHub Copilot?

Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add lamm-mit/scienceclaw --skill tdc -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/tdc, .gemini/skills/tdc, .github/skills/tdc and .opencode/skills/tdc in your project.

What does Tdc need to run?

Going by SKILL.md and its folder, Tdc needs Python for the scripts in its folder and the command-line tools its instructions call (conda and pip). Our summary lists: Python 3.

Does Tdc access the network?

SKILL.md names 2 domains. As links in the text: huggingface.co and tdcommons.ai. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.

Is Tdc safe to install?

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. The check reads SKILL.md only: the scripts in the folder are not scanned, so read them before running anything.

What licence does Tdc use?

Tdc is published under the Apache-2.0 licence (the repository's licence). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.

How many tokens does Tdc use?

About 631 tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 2.5k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full.

What are the alternatives to Tdc?

Skills that share tags, products or a category with Tdc: Esmfold2 (JimLiu/science-skills, 227 stars), Kermt Continue Pretrain (NVIDIA/skills, 3.5k stars), Kermt Embed (NVIDIA/skills, 3.5k stars) and ML Dataset Discovery (OpenLAIR/dr-claw, 1.2k stars). The comparison table on this page puts their stars, adoption, token cost, safety result and licence side by side.

Who maintains Tdc?

lamm-mit (a GitHub user) maintains it in lamm-mit/scienceclaw, which has 244 GitHub stars. The repository holds 85 skills in this directory. The repository was last updated on August 21, 2026.
