Use this skill to build and run a molecular optimization loop from seed SMILES. The target artifact is a ranked set of optimized candidate molecules with auditable lineage, scores, and report artifacts.
The sidecar deliberately does not provide a fixed GA engine. The agent must
assemble and tune mutation, crossover, evaluation, filtering, and selection for
the user's objective. kernel.py provides reusable molecule normalization,
ADMET aggregation, lineage validation, and result visualization.
In this skill, when see references/<file_name>.md is suggested, use host call to retrieval the complementary material.
host.skills.read("admet_genetic", "references/<file_name>.md")
conda create -n admet-sa-ga python=3.11 -y
conda activate admet-sa-ga
python -m pip install pandas pyyaml matplotlib rdkit
python -m pip install admet-ai # depends on torch; installation/import may take time
After creating the environment, select it with host.env.use("admet-sa-ga")
before importing this skill's sidecar. Switching environments restarts the
session kernel, so switch before constructing the pipeline. An in-kernel
pipeline is fine while you are still exploring; see Formal runs below for
what a run has to leave behind.
See references/admet.md for ADMET-AI installation details, endpoint behavior, runtime notes, and troubleshooting.
For molecular representation, expected fields, candidate recording and lineage logging, see references/data_contracts.md. Must view these contracts before running the main pipeline.

There are two ways to run this skill, and they are not interchangeable.
Prototyping. Assemble the GA in the kernel namespace, iterate on operators and weights, look at what comes out. Nothing here has to be saved. This is the right mode while you are still deciding what the search should do.
A formal run. Anything the user will act on, hand to someone else, or ask
you to repeat is a formal run, and a formal run's deliverable includes the code
that produced it. A GA that exists only as cell history cannot be re-run, cannot
be reviewed, and cannot be pointed at next month's seed set: the numbers in
report.md are then unreproducible in the exact sense — nobody, including you,
can regenerate them.
For a formal run, save the pipeline to source modules before the final generation, run it from those modules, and record what ran:
Save these as artifacts alongside the CSVs and the report — they are
deliverables, not scratch. When the session is running in reusable_pipeline or
codebase_change task mode, the completion contract additionally requires you
to name them (source_files, entry_points, architecture_summary,
test_evidence) and the Host verifies each claim before accepting the
submission.
Treat lineage as a first-class data contract:
molecule_id identifies exactly one canonical smiles.smiles is always the deduplicated canonical SMILES.operation == mutation, set parent to one parent ID and leave parents empty.operation == crossover, leave parent empty and set parents to exactly two parent IDs separated by ;.operation_detail should be JSON containing operation name, operator detail, parent IDs, parent SMILES, and child canonical SMILES.Before rendering or reporting, run validate_generation_log(frame) or equivalent assertions; see references/data_contracts.md.
When results are satisfactory, produce:
generation_log.csv with complete lineage and evaluation records.candidates_final.csv with selected final candidates.report.md as an audit-friendly report.render_optimization_history(log_path, out_path) from kernel.py. The rendered HTML is self-contained and uses embedded SVG molecule depictions and matplotlib-generated SVG plots.For a formal run (see above), additionally produce:
A prototyping run owes none of these; a run whose results the user will act on owes all of them.
The visualization workflow expects generation_log.csv to follow the lineage contract; for visualization assumptions, see references/data_contracts.md.
In report.md, include:
State clearly when ADMET-AI failed or when a fallback was used. Do not present predicted ADMET, toxicity, conditions, or synthesizability as experimental fact.
examples/build_example.py is a rebuild fixture, not the template for your
pipeline: it validates committed records and regenerates derived files, and it
deliberately runs neither the GA nor ADMET-AI. Treat it as the shape of a
single-responsibility entry point, not as the shape of the whole run.
A formal run's tree usually looks something like this. Rename, merge, or drop parts of it to match the problem — this is a starting point to tailor, not a layout to reproduce:
<working dir>/
|-- admet_run/
| |-- operators.py # mutation, crossover, validity repair
| |-- evaluate.py # RDKit descriptors, QED, SA-Score, ADMET aggregation
| |-- selection.py # hard filters, total score, diversity selection
| |-- report.py # generation_log -> report.md + dashboard
| `-- pipeline.py # the loop: seed -> generations -> final candidates
|-- run_optimization.py # thin entry point: parse args, load config, call pipeline
|-- config.yaml # population, generations, weights, filters, seed
|-- tests/
| |-- test_operators.py
| `-- test_selection.py
`-- (generation_log.csv, candidates_final.csv, report.md, dashboard.html, run_manifest.json)
Two things this is not. It is not a file-count target: a narrow single-objective search whose operators are ten lines each is honestly one module plus an entry point, and splitting it further only spreads the reader out. And it is not a place for placeholders — a module that exists so the tree looks organised is worse than no module, because it claims a responsibility nobody implemented.
Import the sidecar helpers from your modules rather than copying them:
standardize_smiles, canonicalize_smiles, classify_admet_columns,
aggregate_admet_predictions, operation_detail_json, validate_generation_log,
and render_optimization_history all live in this skill's kernel.py.
The committed example under examples/ is a recorded four-generation test run.
It is an audit and visualization fixture, not evidence of experimental ADMET or
synthetic feasibility:
examples/
|-- seed_molecules.csv
|-- config.yaml
|-- generation_log.csv
|-- generation_summary.csv
|-- candidates_final.csv
|-- optimization_dashboard.html
|-- report.md
`-- build_example.py
generation_log.csv, generation_summary.csv, and config.yaml are the source
records used to rebuild the derived dashboard and report. The build does not run
the GA or ADMET-AI:
python skills/admet_genetic/examples/build_example.py
Use alternate output paths when checking reproducibility without replacing the committed artifacts:
python skills/admet_genetic/examples/build_example.py \
--dashboard-output /tmp/admet-dashboard.html \
--report-output /tmp/admet-report.md
The example intentionally reports run metadata that was not captured rather
than inferring it. Exact dependency versions, the random seed, the explicit stop
reason, and invalid-input counts are unknown for this recorded run. Final
candidates are derived reproducibly from generation_log.csv: retain generated
molecules that pass a fresh hard-filter check against config.yaml, have no
ADMET failure, and strictly improve total score over the best seed in their
recorded ancestry. For each distinct ancestral-seed lineage, retain only its
highest-scoring qualifying molecule.
Before accepting a generated result, manually open the HTML dashboard and:
