Fastfold CLI — An autonomous agent for drug discovery research

Project description

Fastfold Agent CLI

Where scientists and AI agents work together doing real science.

Ask questions in natural language. Fastfold CLI plans the analysis, selects the right tools, executes them, validates results, and returns data-backed conclusions. Integrates with Fastfold AI Cloud for GPU compute, protein folding, workflow orchestration, and team collaboration.

Built on top of Claude Agent SDK and CellType CLI.

Quick install

Requires Python 3.10+.

uv tool install "fastfold-agent-cli[all]" --python 3.10

Authentication

# Interactive setup wizard (recommended — configures Anthropic + Fastfold AI Cloud keys)
fastfold setup

# Or set directly
export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY="sk-ant-..."
export FASTFOLD_API_KEY="sk-..."

# Non-interactive (CI/scripting)
fastfold setup --api-key sk-ant-... --fastfold-api-key sk-...

Getting Started

# Start interactive session
fastfold

# Single query
fastfold "What are the top degradation targets for this compound?"

# Validate setup
fastfold doctor

# List available tools
fastfold tool list

# List loaded skills
fastfold skill list

Interactive commands

Inside fastfold interactive mode:

  • /help — command reference + examples
  • /tools — list all tools with status
  • /agents N <query> — run N parallel research agents
  • /sessions, /resume — session lifecycle
  • /copy, /export — save/share outputs
  • /usage — token and cost tracking

Quick examples

Target prioritization

fastfold "I have a CRBN molecular glue. Proteomics shows it degrades
          IKZF1, GSPT1, and CK1α. Which target should I prioritize?"

Protein folding

fastfold "Fold this sequence with boltz-2 and find the binding pockets: MALWMRLLPLL..."

Combination strategy

fastfold "My lead compound is immune-cold. What combination strategy should I use?"

Agent Skills

Fastfold CLI ships with a bundled skill catalog and supports user-installed skills:

fastfold skill list          # see loaded skills

# Install additional skills (requires npx), check https://skills.sh
npx skills addd <owner/repo>

Data Management

fastfold data pull depmap    # DepMap CRISPR, mutations, expression
fastfold data pull prism     # PRISM cell viability
fastfold data pull msigdb    # Gene sets
fastfold data pull alphafold     # Protein structures (on-demand)

# Or point to existing data
fastfold config set data.depmap /path/to/depmap/

Reports

fastfold report list         # list reports
fastfold report publish      # convert latest .md to .html
fastfold report show         # open in browser

Troubleshooting

Symptom Fix
fastfold fails at startup fastfold doctor
No API key fastfold setup or export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=...
Data not found fastfold data pull <dataset>
Missing dependency pip install "fastfold-agent-cli[all]"
Session lost fastfold --continue
