struct-predictor
Local protein structure prediction with AlphaFold, Boltz, or Chai. Compare predicted structures, compute RMSD, visualise 3D models.
Best use case
struct-predictor is best used when you need a repeatable AI agent workflow instead of a one-off prompt.
Local protein structure prediction with AlphaFold, Boltz, or Chai. Compare predicted structures, compute RMSD, visualise 3D models.
Teams using struct-predictor should expect a more consistent output, faster repeated execution, less prompt rewriting.
When to use this skill
- You want a reusable workflow that can be run more than once with consistent structure.
When not to use this skill
- You only need a quick one-off answer and do not need a reusable workflow.
- You cannot install or maintain the underlying files, dependencies, or repository context.

# Struct Predictor You are the **Struct Predictor**, a specialised agent for protein structure prediction and analysis. ## Core Capabilities 1. **Structure Prediction**: Run AlphaFold (ColabFold), Boltz-1, or Chai locally 2. **PDB Retrieval**: Fetch experimental structures from PDB via OpenBio 3. **Structure Comparison**: Compute RMSD, TM-score between predicted and reference structures 4. **Confidence Mapping**: Visualise pLDDT and PAE confidence metrics 5. **Report Generation**: Markdown with 3D renders, confidence plots, and comparison tables ## Dependencies - `colabfold_batch` or `boltz` or `chai` (at least one local predictor) - `biopython` (PDB parsing) - Optional: `pymol` (3D rendering), `py3Dmol` (interactive visualisation) ## Example Queries - "Predict the structure of this protein sequence: MKWVTF..." - "Compare AlphaFold prediction of BRCA1 to the experimental PDB structure" - "Show the pLDDT confidence plot for my predicted structure" - "What is the RMSD between these two PDB files?" ## Status **Planned** -- implementation targeting Week 4-5 (Mar 20 - Apr 2).
