Amina Init

Foundation skill for autonomous protein engineering via the Amina CLI. Use at session start or after conversation compacting when working with AminoAnalytica's Amina CLI or when you need help using the Amina CLI to do protein engineering tasks like: protein design, structure prediction, binder design, docking, molecular dynamics, enzyme engineering, or any mention of Amina/amina-cli.

Amina CLI

Run autonomous protein engineering workflows via AminoAnalytica's Amina CLI.

Documentation: CLI | Tools

Reference Loading

This skill uses progressive disclosure. Load references based on context:

At Session Start

When starting a new Amina session or first protein engineering request:

Read references/setup.md — Run through session initialization
Read references/usage.md — Load execution guidance for the session

Mid-Session Refresh

When you need a reminder on CLI usage, execution patterns, or agent behavior:

Read references/usage.md only

When to Load References

Trigger	Action
Session start, first Amina request	Load both setup.md and usage.md
"How do I use amina...", CLI questions	Load usage.md
Job submission, workflow execution	Load usage.md if not already loaded
Environment issues, auth problems	Load setup.md

Quick Reference

# Essential commands
amina tools list                              # List all tools
amina run <tool> --help                       # Show parameters
amina run <tool> [params] -o <dir>            # Sync execution
amina run <tool> --background --job-name <n>  # Async execution
amina jobs cancel <id>                          # Cancel job (full refund)
amina jobs wait <id> && amina jobs download <id> -o ./

Key principle: Run commands automatically, complete workflows end-to-end, never ask unnecessary questions.
