Vertical Agents

A large library of agent skills for science. Each skill has a SKILL.md with its workflow and covers a scientific package or one of 80+ scientific and financial databases. It works with Claude Code, Codex, Cursor and other agents.

Pros & cons

Each point cites its sources and says what kind of evidence backs it. A second reviewer tried to refute every claim before it was kept.

Pros

DocsProvides 177 skills across bioinformatics, cheminformatics, clinical research and other fields, with access to 100+ scientific databases.[1]
DocsDescribed in an arXiv paper (2609.00065).[1][2]
DocsFollows the open Agent Skills standard and lists Cursor, Claude Code, Codex and Antigravity support.[1]
MetadataMIT-licensed, about 55k stars, 8 open issues, and commits as of 2026-10-26.[1]

Cons

User reportsUsers have flagged unclear licensing for individual skills, including K-Dense-authored ones.[1][2]
User reportsA skill that advertised K-Dense Web was removed after a user report, and a maintainer found other skills that still suggest K-Dense Web.[1]
DocsThe README promotes K-Dense's own co-scientist product (K-Dense BYOK).[1]
DocsRegulated-domain outputs are framed as drafts for qualified review, not certifications or release decisions.[1]

Best for: Researchers who want their coding agent to drive domain-specific scientific Python libraries and databases.
Watch out for: Read each skill's license and body before using it in a regulated or published workflow.
