GDM Science Skills v1.0.5

Repository: google-deepmind/science-skills

Tag: v1.0.5

Published: 2026-07-01T20:11:56Z

Prerelease: no

Release notes:

Added

• Credentials Skill: Introduced a new credentials skill that defines a standard "Safe Credentials Protocol" for verifying and prompting for API keys/credentials safely.
• Citations: Added references/citation.bib files to almost all skills, providing academic citations for the databases and tools used.

Changed

• License Notification Standardization: Standardized license notification storage. Notification files are now stored in a centralized .licenses/ directory in the workspace root (e.g., .licenses/_LICENSE.txt) instead of local LICENSE_NOTIFICATION.txt files inside each skill directory.
• Credential Handling Refactoring: Updated skills requiring credentials (such as alphagenome_single_variant_analysis) to use the new credentials skill protocol, removing duplicated credential-handling instructions from individual skills.
• Dependency Migration: Migrated HTTP-related scripts to use the polite-http package instead of the local scienceskillscommon package.

Removed

• `scienceskillscommon` Skill: Removed the local scienceskillscommon skill as its HTTP client functionality has been replaced by the polite-http package.
