Alterlab Esm

alterlab-ieu/alterlab-esm

Run ESM protein language models — ESM3 for generative multimodal protein design across sequence, structure, and function, and ESM C for efficient embeddings and representations — locally or via the cloud Forge API. Use when working with protein sequences, structures, or function prediction, designing novel proteins, generating protein embeddings, performing inverse folding, or doing protein-engineering tasks. Part of the AlterLab Academic Skills suite.

How to use it

Copy the folder

Take alterlab-ieu/alterlab-esm from the repository into ~/.claude/skills for personal use, or into .claude/skills inside a project.

Check the name does not clash

The agent identifies a skill by the name field in its header. Two skills with the same name cannot sit side by side — one of them will be ignored.

Install what it needs

The instructions reference pip, uv. Without those the skill loads but fails at the first command.
