AcademicForge
One Forge, All Skills: A curated skill collection for academic writing and research. 点开即用，按需配置的一站式学术研究skills平台。
AcademicForge is a modular agent skill platform that bundles academic writing and research capabilities for AI coding assistants. Inspired by Minecraft Forge's mod loader system, it allows researchers to browse, select, and install specific skill packs rather than copying entire repositories. The platform includes 32 Claude Science skills covering protein structure prediction, genomics, single-cell analysis, publication-grade visualization, literature review, and remote compute workflows. Users can pick skills through a web interface or let their AI agent analyze their research needs and generate the appropriate installation command.
Key Features
Use Cases
- 01Installing protein structure prediction tools (AlphaFold2, Boltz, Chai-1) for computational biology research
- 02Adding literature review and academic writing skills to AI coding assistants for manuscript preparation
- 03Equipping agents with genomic analysis capabilities (Borzoi, Evo2, scGPT) for bioinformatics workflows
- 04Creating publication-ready multi-panel figures and visualizations with style compliance
- 05Setting up remote compute workflows on Modal or SSH/SLURM clusters for GPU-intensive tasks
- 06Building custom academic skill sets tailored to specific research domains or projects

AcademicForge — FAQ
What is AcademicForge?+
AcademicForge is a curated platform of academic research agent skills for AI coding assistants like Claude Code, OpenCode, and Codex. It packages tools for protein modeling, genomics, literature review, visualization, and remote compute into installable skill packs.
How do I install AcademicForge skills?+
You can browse skills at hughyau.github.io/AcademicForge and copy the generated installation command, or run the forge-install script directly with your chosen skills (e.g., curl -sSL ... | bash -s -- --tool claude --skills humanizer,superpowers). Windows users should use the PowerShell installation script.
Which AI clients work with AcademicForge?+
AcademicForge skills are designed for Claude Code, OpenCode, and Codex. The installation script supports selecting your specific tool with the --tool flag.
Do I need a Claude Science subscription to use these skills?+
No, the 32 Claude Science skills included in AcademicForge can be installed and used without a Claude Science subscription and work across all supported AI agents.
Is AcademicForge free to use?+
Yes, AcademicForge is released under the MIT license. Third-party skills retain their original licenses, and some computational tools may require your own API keys or compute resources (e.g., Modal accounts for GPU tasks).
What are the prerequisites for using AcademicForge?+
You need one of the supported AI coding assistants (Claude Code, OpenCode, or Codex) and a project directory where you want to install skills. Specific skills may require additional setup like Modal accounts for remote compute or API access for certain scientific tools.
How do I install AcademicForge?+
Open the source repository on GitHub and follow its README. AcademicForge is a skill — MCP Agents Market links you directly to the official repo.
Is AcademicForge free?+
AcademicForge is an open-source project hosted on GitHub. Check the repository for its license and any usage requirements.
