Frequently Asked Questions

FAQPage Schema

How to install Science Skills?▼

Run `npx skills add google-deepmind/science-skills --all -g -y` in your terminal to install the full suite globally. The skills use the uv package manager, which the agent installs automatically on first use.

What can Science Skills do for researchers?▼

It lets your AI agent query major scientific databases like UniProt, PubMed, ChEMBL, ClinVar, gnomAD, and AlphaFold directly. You can analyze genetic variants, search literature, fetch protein structures, and run pathway enrichment from plain-English requests.

Do Science Skills require API keys?▼

Most skills work without keys, but some like AlphaGenome and OpenAlex require one, and NCBI skills run faster with a free key. The agent will safely prompt you to add any missing key to your .env file.

Which AI agents support Science Skills?▼

All skills follow the universal SKILL.md standard and work with Google Antigravity, Claude Code, Gemini CLI, Codex, and other compatible agents.

Can non-programmers use Science Skills?▼

Yes. You describe your research question in plain English and the agent runs the underlying scripts, handles rate limits, and formats the results for you.
