πŸ“– About This Skill

name: chemistry-query description: Chemistry agent skill for PubChem API queries (compound info/properties, structures/SMILES/images, synthesis routes/references) + RDKit cheminformatics (SMILES to molecule props/logP/TPSA, 2D PNG/SVG viz, Morgan fingerprints, retrosynthesis/BRICS disconnects, multi-step synth planning). Use for chemistry tasks involving compounds, molecules, structures, PubChem data, RDKit analysis, SMILES processing, synthesis routes, retrosynthesis, reaction simulation. Triggers on chemistry, compounds, molecules, chemical data/properties, PubChem, RDKit, SMILES, structures, synthesis, reactions, retrosynthesis, synth plan/route.

Chemistry Query Agent v1.4.0

Overview

Full-stack chemistry toolkit combining PubChem data retrieval with RDKit molecule processing, visualization, analysis, retrosynthesis, and synthesis planning. All outputs are structured JSON for easy downstream chaining. Generates PNG/SVG images on demand.

Key capabilities:

  • PubChem compound lookup (info, structure, synthesis refs, similarity search)
  • RDKit molecular properties (MW, logP, TPSA, HBD/HBA, rotatable bonds, aromatic rings)
  • 2D molecule visualization (PNG/SVG)
  • BRICS retrosynthesis with recursive depth control
  • Multi-step synthesis route planning
  • Forward reaction simulation with SMARTS templates
  • Morgan fingerprints and similarity/substructure search
  • 21 named reaction templates (Suzuki, Heck, Grignard, Wittig, Diels-Alder, etc.)

    • Quick Start

    # PubChem compound info
exec python scripts/query_pubchem.py --compound "aspirin" --type info
    Molecular properties from SMILES
    
exec python scripts/rdkit_mol.py --smiles "CC(=O)Oc1ccccc1C(=O)O" --action props
    Retrosynthesis
    
exec python scripts/rdkit_mol.py --target "CC(=O)Oc1ccccc1C(=O)O" --action retro --depth 2
    Full chain (name β†’ props + draw + retro)
    
exec python scripts/chain_entry.py --input-json '{"name": "caffeine", "context": "user"}'

    Scripts

    scripts/query_pubchem.py

    PubChem REST API queries with automatic name→CID resolution and timeout handling.

    --compound  --type  [--format smiles|inchi|image|json] [--threshold 80]

  • info: Formula, MW, IUPAC name, InChIKey (JSON)
  • structure: SMILES, InChI, image URL, or full JSON
  • synthesis: Synonyms/references for a compound
  • similar: Similar compounds by 2D fingerprint (top 20)

    • scripts/rdkit_mol.py

    RDKit cheminformatics engine. Resolves names via PubChem automatically.

    --smiles  --action

    | Action | Description | Key Args | |--------|-------------|----------| | props | MW, logP, TPSA, HBD, HBA, rotB, aromRings | --smiles | | draw | 2D PNG/SVG (300Γ—300) | --smiles --output file.png --format png\|svg | | retro | BRICS recursive retrosynthesis | --target --depth N | | plan | Multi-step retro route | --target --steps N | | react | Forward reaction via SMARTS | --reactants "smi1 smi2" --smarts "" | | fingerprint | Morgan fingerprint bitvector | --smiles --radius 2 | | similarity | Tanimoto similarity scoring | --query_smiles --target_smiles "smi1,smi2" | | substruct | Substructure matching | --query_smiles --target_smiles "smi1,smi2" | | xyz | 3D coordinates (MMFF optimized) | --smiles |

    scripts/chain_entry.py

    Standard agent chain interface. Accepts {"smiles": "...", "context": "..."} or {"name": "...", "context": "..."}. Returns unified JSON with props, visualization, and retrosynthesis.

    python scripts/chain_entry.py --input-json '{"name": "sotorasib", "context": "user"}'

    Output schema: 

    {
  "agent": "chemistry-query",
  "version": "1.4.0",
  "smiles": "",
  "status": "success|error",
  "report": {"props": {...}, "draw": {...}, "retro": {...}},
  "risks": [],
  "viz": ["path/to/image.png"],
  "recommend_next": ["pharmacology", "toxicology"],
  "confidence": 0.95,
  "warnings": [],
  "timestamp": "ISO8601"
}

    scripts/templates.json

    21 named reaction templates with SMARTS, expected yields, conditions, and references. Includes: Suzuki, Heck, Buchwald-Hartwig, Grignard, Wittig, Diels-Alder, Click, Sonogashira, Negishi, and more.

    Chaining

    1. Name β†’ Full Profile: chain_entry.py with {"name": "ibuprofen"} β†’ props + draw + retro 2. Chemistry β†’ Pharmacology: Output feeds directly into pharma-pharmacology-agent 3. Retro + Viz: Get precursors, then draw each one 4. Suzuki Test: --action react --reactants "c1ccccc1Br c1ccccc1B(O)O" --smarts "[c:1][Br:2].[c:3]B(O)O>>[c:1][c:3]"
