    Alerts explained

    ene_rhod_A (PAINS): 5-benzylidene rhodanine, a Michael acceptor and frequent assay-interference chemotype. This alone fails it.

    phenol_ester (Brenk): a labile aryl ester. For aspirin that hydrolysis is the mechanism, so it is flagged for review, not rejected.

    Worth following up: caffeine and imatinib (no alerts, no Ro5 violations). Fix or re-check the bad_entry SMILES.

    About this skill

    Give your agent a SMILES list or a CSV of hits and get a med-chem triage report back.

    What it does

    • Standardize: RDKit cleanup, salt stripping and neutralization. Invalid SMILES are reported, not silently dropped.
    • Properties: MW, cLogP, HBD/HBA, TPSA, rotatable bonds, QED.
    • Rules: Lipinski Ro5 violations and Veber criteria.
    • Alerts: PAINS (assay interference) and Brenk (unwanted or reactive groups).
    • Verdict: pass / review / fail per compound, plus a full CSV.

    Why it's trustworthy

    Every number comes from a bundled, self-tested RDKit script (scripts/triage.py --selftest); the model never improvises a descriptor. The agent then explains each alert in medicinal-chemistry terms and reminds you that alerts are prompts for a chemist, not automatic rejections.

    Requirements

    uv. RDKit installs automatically on first run. Accepts CSV, .smi/.txt or a single SMILES string.

    • Rule-based filters (Lipinski, Veber, PAINS, Brenk) for prioritization; they flag compounds for a chemist to review and are not a verdict on activity or safety.
    • Many approved drugs (natural products, macrocycles, beyond-Rule-of-5) violate Lipinski.
    • Needs uv and one-time internet access to install RDKit.
    • Single-structure standardization only: no tautomer enumeration or 3D/conformer work.

    What's inside

    Frequently Asked Questions

    This skill uses RDKit's deterministic algorithms to ensure scientific accuracy for MW, logP, and structural alerts, which LLMs often hallucinate or miscalculate when relying on text-based patterns alone.

    The skill requires the `uv` package manager installed on your system; it automatically handles the installation of RDKit and Python dependencies within an isolated environment upon first run.

    Yes, the skill features schema mapping that allows it to identify and process SMILES strings from CSV or .smi files even if your column headers use custom naming conventions.

    You receive the standardized RDKit processing pipeline, the `uv` environment configuration, and the agent integration logic necessary to generate 'triage.csv' reports and filtered summaries.

    The triage process screens for PAINS (Pan-Assay Interference Compounds) and Brenk alerts, helping you identify molecules that might cause false positives in biological assays.
