hugging-science
Use when the user is doing AI/ML work in a scientific domain such as biology, chemistry, physics, astronomy, climate, genomics, materials, medicine, ecology, energy, engineering, math, drug discovery, protein design, weather modeling, theorem proving, single-cell, or PDE solving. Hugging Science is a curated catalog of scientific datasets, models, blog posts, and interactive Spaces. This skill helps discover and use resources via `datasets`, `transformers`, the HF Inference API, `gradio_client`, and methodology citations.

Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.
Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
# Hugging Science Hugging Science is a curated, LLM-friendly index of scientific datasets, models, blog posts, and interactive demos for ML researchers. Use it when a scientific ML question lands in front of you — it's much higher signal than generic search and the entries are pre-filtered for quality and openness. There are two related surfaces, and you should use both: - **The catalog at `huggingscience.co`** — a static, parseable index of resources across 17 scientific domains. It exposes `llms.txt` (compact), `llms-full.txt` (full content), and `topics/<slug>.md` (per-domain). These are markdown files designed to be fetched and read. - **The `hugging-science` Hugging Face organization** — `huggingface.co/hugging-science` — community-submitted datasets, a few models, and ~27 interactive Spaces (notably BoltzGen for protein/binder design, Dataset Quest for submissions, and Science Release Heatmap for ecosystem visualization). The catalog *points to* resources hosted on the broader Hugging Face Hub. So an entry like `arcinstitute/opengenome2` is a regular HF dataset that you load with the `datasets` library; an entry like `facebook/esm2_t33_650M_UR50D` is a regular HF model you lo

What does the hugging-science skill do?
Use when the user is doing AI/ML work in a scientific domain such as biology, chemistry, physics, astronomy, climate, genomics, materials, medicine, ecology, energy, engineering, math, drug discovery, protein design, weather modeling, theorem proving, single-cell, or PDE solving. Hugging Science is a curated catalog of scientific datasets, models, blog posts, and interactive Spaces. This skill helps discover and use resources via `datasets`, `transformers`, the HF Inference API, `gradio_client`, and methodology citations.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add K-Dense-AI/scientific-agent-skills --skill hugging-science --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From K-Dense-AI/scientific-agent-skills, a repository with 32,619 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
