pdbFetch and analyze protein structures from RCSB PDB. An agent skill from adaptyvbio/protein-design-skills.
Pdb is an agent skill from adaptyvbio/protein-design-skills. Fetch and analyze protein structures from RCSB PDB. Use this skill when: (1) Need to download a structure by PDB ID, (2) Search for similar structures, (3) Prepare target for binder design, (4) Extract specific chains or domains, (5) Get structure metadata. For sequence lookup, use uniprot. For binder design workflow, use binder-design.
Its SKILL.md is about 1.4k 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 Protein structure and design. It works with UniProt. The repository describes itself as: Claude Code skills for protein design. The licence is MIT.
6 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 59dd633. 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:
curlFrom 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.orgrcsb.orgsearch.rcsb.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.
Pdb loads about 1.4k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 86 tokens; SKILL.md has 132 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.

Fetch and analyze protein structures from RCSB PDB. An agent skill from adaptyvbio/protein-design-skills. Pdb is an agent skill from adaptyvbio/protein-design-skills. Fetch and analyze protein structures from RCSB PDB.
Pdb fits situations like: need to download a structure by PDB ID; search for similar structures; prepare target for binder design; extract specific chains.
Run `npx skills add adaptyvbio/protein-design-skills --skill pdb -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (skills/pdb in adaptyvbio/protein-design-skills) into .claude/skills/pdb in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.
Run `npx skills add adaptyvbio/protein-design-skills --skill pdb -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (skills/pdb in adaptyvbio/protein-design-skills) into .agents/skills/pdb 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 adaptyvbio/protein-design-skills --skill pdb -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, .gemini/skills/pdb, .github/skills/pdb and .opencode/skills/pdb in your project.
Going by SKILL.md and its folder, Pdb needs the command-line tools its instructions call (curl). Our summary lists: Python 3.
SKILL.md names 3 domains. In commands or code: files.rcsb.org, rcsb.org and search.rcsb.org; the agent is likely to contact these when it follows the instructions. 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 is published under the MIT licence (declared in SKILL.md). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.
About 1.4k tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 5.5k 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 Pdb: Alphafold Database Fetch And Analyze (google-deepmind/science-skills, 3.2k stars), Tooluniverse (ynulihao/AgentSkillOS, 617 stars), Bio DB Tools (DrugClaw/DrugClaw, 125 stars) and Gget (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.
