CACTUS is a cheminformatics LLM agent developed at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) that provides AI-assisted molecular analysis, property prediction, and chemical reasoning. It wraps RDKit, molecular databases, and ML models behind a conversational interface, enabling researchers to query molecular properties, perform similarity searches, and run cheminformatics workflows using natural language.

Route empirical-research requests through the Auto-Empirical Research Skills catalog when this whole repository is installed as one skill in Codex, CodeBuddy, Claude Code, or another IDE. Use to choose and load the right vendored AERS skill for causal inference, econometrics, replication, data acquisition, manuscript writing, peer review and referee responses, citation checking, de-AIGC editing, or full empirical-paper workflows without reading the entire repository at once.
中英双语学术降 AIGC / bilingual academic de-AIGC skill. Removes AI-generated writing signatures from empirical papers in economics, management, and the social sciences — in both English and Chinese. Covers Turnitin AI, GPTZero, Originality.ai on the English side and 知网 AMLC, 万方, 维普 on the Chinese side. Uses a six-step loop (intake → audit → claim-evidence check → differentiated rewrite → five-dimension self-score → cold-reader recheck) with two pattern libraries (22 English + 17 Chinese patterns), section-by-section strategies for empirical papers, and hard protections that keep every number, coefficient, and citation intact.
Use when a research task needs reproducible Kaggle discovery, metadata inspection, bounded public-data downloads, competition or kernel discovery, model discovery, or an explicitly approved Kaggle write/delete operation through the official CLI.
