K-Dense's Scientific Agent Skills library hits 177 skills, adds AI co-scientist app
K-Dense's Scientific Agent Skills collection — formerly Claude Scientific Skills — has been renamed and rebuilt around the open Agent Skills standard, so it now targets any compatible host including Cursor, Claude Code, Codex and Google Antigravity, not just Claude. Version 2.72.0 ships 177 skills spanning bioinformatics, cheminformatics and drug discovery, medicine, materials, physics, Earth science and scientific writing, with a database skill covering 80 sources and 70-plus version-aware Python package workflows. The project also launched K-Dense BYOK, a free open-source desktop "AI co-scientist" where users bring their own API keys, pick from 40+ models, keep data local and optionally scale to Modal, and it claims 250,000+ scientists already use the library.
Bundling research workflows into portable skills shows the agent-skills format spreading from one vendor's ecosystem to a cross-platform standard.
