Questions, answered from the data.
What is the best protein structure and design skill?
Alphafold Database Fetch And Analyze from google-deepmind/science-skills ranks first of the 132 protein structure and design skills listed here, with the highest score: its repository has 3.2k GitHub stars, 2 other GitHub owners carry a copy, its SKILL.md loads about 1.2k tokens and it passes the automated safety check with no findings. Next come Esmfold2 and Alphafold.
Which protein structure and design skills are official?
5 of the 132 protein structure and design skills are official, published by the vendor's own GitHub organization: Proteinmpnn Nim, Openfold2 Nim, Rfdiffusion Nim, Msa Structure Prediction Pipeline and Boltz2 Nim.
How are these skills ranked?
By Skill Navigator score, which combines the GitHub stars of the skill's repository (shared across that repo's skills and discounted for large collections), how many other GitHub owners carry a copy of the skill, and automated SKILL.md quality checks, minus penalties for safety-check warnings and for each further skill from the same repository. Skills that fail the safety check are not listed.
