What it does

Madd Drug Discovery Guide is an agent skill from wentorai/research-plugins. Multi-agent system for automated drug discovery pipelines

Its SKILL.md is about 1.1k 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. The repository describes itself as: 350+ academic research skills, MCP configs, and plugins for Research-Claw and AI agents. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Drug discovery and cheminformatics

Example prompts

  • “/madd-drug-discovery-guide”

Requirements

  • Python 3

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Hit discovery: Generate novel drug candidates for targets
  2. Lead optimization: Improve properties of promising compounds
  3. ADMET screening: Predict pharmacokinetic properties
  4. Virtual screening: Score large molecule libraries
  5. Drug repurposing: Evaluate known drugs for new targets

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit bf44b3c. 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

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are python).

    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):

    • github.com
    • rdkit.org
    • vina.scripps.edu

    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

Madd Drug Discovery Guide loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 21 tokens; SKILL.md has 114 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~21
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.1k

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.

MADD: Multi-Agent Drug Discovery Guide

Overview

MADD (Multi-Agent Drug Discovery) is a multi-agent system that automates key stages of the drug discovery pipeline — target identification, molecule generation, property prediction (ADMET), docking simulation, and lead optimization. Specialized agents collaborate to propose, evaluate, and refine drug candidates, reducing the manual effort in early-stage drug discovery research.

Agent Pipeline

Target Protein
      ↓
  Target Analysis Agent (binding site, druggability)
      ↓
  Molecule Generation Agent (de novo design)
      ↓
  Property Prediction Agent (ADMET screening)
      ↓
  Docking Agent (binding affinity estimation)
      ↓
  Optimization Agent (lead optimization cycle)
      ↓
  Report Agent (candidate ranking + rationale)

Usage

python
from madd import DrugDiscoveryPipeline

pipeline = DrugDiscoveryPipeline(
    llm_provider="anthropic",
    tools=["rdkit", "autodock_vina", "admet_predictor"],
)

# Run discovery pipeline
results = pipeline.discover(
    target_protein="6LU7",  # PDB ID (SARS-CoV-2 Mpro)
    target_site="active_site",
    constraints={
        "molecular_weight": (200, 500),    # Lipinski
        "logP": (-0.4, 5.6),
        "hbd": (0, 5),
        "hba": (0, 10),
        "tpsa": (0, 140),
    },
    num_candidates=100,
    optimization_rounds=3,
)

# Top candidates
for i, mol in enumerate(results.top_candidates[:5]):
    print(f"\nCandidate {i+1}: {mol.smiles}")
    print(f"  Docking score: {mol.docking_score:.2f} kcal/mol")
    print(f"  QED: {mol.qed:.3f}")
    print(f"  Synthetic accessibility: {mol.sa_score:.2f}")
    print(f"  ADMET: {mol.admet_summary}")

ADMET Prediction

python
from madd.agents import ADMETAgent

admet = ADMETAgent()

# Predict ADMET properties for a molecule
props = admet.predict("CC(=O)Oc1ccccc1C(=O)O")  # Aspirin

print(f"Absorption: {props.absorption}")
print(f"Distribution: {props.distribution}")
print(f"Metabolism: {props.metabolism}")
print(f"Excretion: {props.excretion}")
print(f"Toxicity: {props.toxicity}")
print(f"BBB penetration: {props.bbb_penetration}")
print(f"CYP inhibition: {props.cyp_inhibition}")
print(f"hERG liability: {props.herg_risk}")

Molecule Generation

python
from madd.agents import MolGenAgent

gen = MolGenAgent(method="reinforcement_learning")

# Generate molecules targeting a binding site
molecules = gen.generate(
    target_pdb="6LU7",
    binding_site="active_site",
    num_molecules=500,
    diversity_threshold=0.5,  # Tanimoto diversity
    constraints={
        "drug_likeness": True,  # Lipinski + Veber
        "novelty": True,        # Not in ChEMBL
    },
)

print(f"Generated: {len(molecules)}")
print(f"Drug-like: {sum(1 for m in molecules if m.is_drug_like)}")
print(f"Novel: {sum(1 for m in molecules if m.is_novel)}")

Lead Optimization

python
from madd.agents import OptimizationAgent

optimizer = OptimizationAgent()

# Optimize a lead compound
optimized = optimizer.optimize(
    lead_smiles="c1ccc(-c2ncc(F)c(N)n2)cc1",
    objectives=[
        ("docking_score", "minimize"),
        ("qed", "maximize"),
        ("sa_score", "minimize"),
        ("solubility", "maximize"),
    ],
    num_iterations=50,
    keep_scaffold=True,  # Maintain core structure
)

for mol in optimized.pareto_front[:5]:
    print(f"SMILES: {mol.smiles}")
    print(f"  Docking: {mol.docking_score:.2f}")
    print(f"  QED: {mol.qed:.3f}")

Use Cases

  1. Hit discovery: Generate novel drug candidates for targets
  2. Lead optimization: Improve properties of promising compounds
  3. ADMET screening: Predict pharmacokinetic properties
  4. Virtual screening: Score large molecule libraries
  5. Drug repurposing: Evaluate known drugs for new targets
