Scientific Agent Skills expands to open standard with desktop BYOK tool

The Scientific Agent Skills library has shifted from a Claude-specific extension to a broader open standard, enabling compatibility with tools like Cursor, Codex, and Antigravity. It provides over 165 validated skills and access to 100+ scientific databases across biology, chemistry, and drug discovery. Additionally, the release introduces K-Dense BYOK, an open-source desktop application that allows users to run an AI co-scientist using their own API keys and model choices.

  • Broadens agent compatibility beyond Claude to support Cursor, Codex, and other open-standard tools.
  • Provides 165 validated skills and 100+ databases for biology, chemistry, and drug discovery workflows.
  • Introduces K-Dense BYOK, a desktop app for running AI research with user-managed API keys and models.
  • Targeted at researchers needing structured AI assistance for scientific literature and data analysis.

JetBrains publishes Go modern guidelines for AI coding agents

JetBrains released a repository of coding guidelines specifically designed to help AI agents write idiomatic, modern Go code. The guidelines instruct agents to leverage standard library functions like slices.Contains and new features from Go 1.26 such as errors.AsType. The resource covers features from Go 1.0 through 1.27, guided by the modernize analyzer.

  • AI agents can auto-detect Go version from go.mod to apply correct guidelines.
  • Promotes stdlib usage like cmp.Or and errors.AsType over manual logic.
  • Covers the full scope of the modernize analyzer for consistent code.
  • Helps standardize AI-generated Go across different project versions.

Archify: Agent-Driven Architecture Diagramming via Typed JSON IR

Archify is a Node.js tool that converts codebases into interactive system maps by having AI agents generate typed JSON intermediate representations. It deterministically compiles this IR into self-contained HTML or SVG diagrams with motion and multiple presets. The system supports five diagram types, version comparisons for merge reviews, and works with Cursor, Claude Code, and other CLI agents.

  • Agents produce typed JSON IR which Archify compiles into crisp, interactive HTML/SVG diagrams
  • Supports five diagram types including sequence, data flow, and lifecycle views
  • Enables before/delta/after comparisons for architecture changes before code merge
  • Integrates with Cursor, Claude Code, Codex CLI, and OpenCode via agent skills
  • Features dark/light themes, built-in brand marks, and finite motion effects

Anthropic releases official Claude Code plugin directory

Anthropic has published a curated GitHub repository serving as the central marketplace for Claude Code plugins. The directory is split into internal plugins maintained by Anthropic and external plugins from partners and the community. Installation is handled directly through the Claude Code CLI using a /plugin install command.

  • Official directory centralizes high-quality plugins for Claude Code integration.
  • Distinguishes between internal Anthropic plugins and third-party community options.
  • Users must vet plugins manually as Anthropic does not verify external code.
  • Plugins install via CLI command, streamlining the developer workflow.
