At a glance

Design novel protein therapeutics (binders, enzymes, scaffolds) using AI-guided de novo design.

  • Works in 8 steps: Report-First Approach (MANDATORY) → Design Documentation (MANDATORY) → Target → …
  • Asked to design protein binders
  • SKILL.md covers When to Use, Critical Workflow Requirements, Phase 0: Tool Verification and Workflow Overview, plus 5 more sections
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Tooluniverse Protein Therapeutic Design is an agent skill from wu-yc/LabClaw. Design novel protein therapeutics (binders, enzymes, scaffolds) using AI-guided de novo design. Uses RFdiffusion for backbone generation, ProteinMPNN for sequence design, ESMFold/AlphaFold2 for validation. Use when asked to design protein binders, therapeutic proteins, or engineer protein function.

Its SKILL.md is about 4.4k 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, Project scaffolding and Creative writing and fiction. The repository describes itself as: LabClaw – Operating Layer for LabOS (Stanford-Princeton AI Co-Scientists).

When your agent uses it

  • Asked to design protein binders
  • Therapeutic proteins
  • Engineer protein function

Example prompts

  • “/tooluniverse-protein-therapeutic-design”

Requirements

  • Python 3

Workflow steps

8 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Report-First Approach (MANDATORY)
  2. Design Documentation (MANDATORY)
  3. Target
  4. Backbones
  5. Sequences
  6. Validation
  7. Developability
  8. Deliverables

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit df37802. 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 markdown and python).

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    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

Tooluniverse Protein Therapeutic Design loads about 4.4k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 85 tokens; SKILL.md has 613 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~85
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~4.4k

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.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 613 words (~4,433 tokens).

“AI-guided de novo protein design using RFdiffusion backbone generation, ProteinMPNN sequence optimization, and structure validation for therapeutic protein development.”
