13c Metabolic Flux

Q: What is a Claude Code skill and how does the 13c Metabolic Flux skill fit in?

A Claude Code skill is a SKILL.md file that lives under ~/.claude/skills/<name>/ and tells the Claude Code CLI agent how to perform a specific task (instructions, prompts, allowed tools). Skills are auto-discovered at session start. 13c Metabolic Flux is one of 67,000+ skills indexed in the open ClaudSkills catalog, classified under the Science & Research category.

Estimates intracellular metabolic fluxes from steady-state carbon-13 isotope-tracing measurements using validated atom maps, mfapy isotope simulation, constrained multistart fitting, and flux-profile diagnostics. Use for 13C-MFA, carbon tracing, mass isotopomer distributions (MDVs/MIDs), positional isotopomers, parallel tracer experiments, and determining whether labeling data constrain a pathway flux. Distinguishes measured-label inference from COBRA flux balance analysis and flags experiments requiring nonstationary MFA.

From the source SKILL.md

Turn reviewed carbon maps, explicit tracer mixtures, and corrected labeling measurements into feasible flux estimates and evidence about which fluxes the experiment constrains. Use the bundled solver rather than reconstructing isotope balances or fitting each reaction independently. It runs mfapy's EMU forward simulator and fits fluxes in the mass-balanced feasible space with SciPy. It does not use an FBA objective.

What this skill does

13c Metabolic Flux is a community-contributed Claude Code skill in the science-misc sub-category. It ships as a SKILL.md file that Claude Code auto-discovers under ~/.claude/skills/13c-metabolic-flux/ and loads when your prompt matches the skill's trigger.

Who uses this skill

The 13c Metabolic Flux Claude Code skill is built for researchers, data scientists, academics, and analysts working with complex data and scientific literature. It's part of ClaudSkills (also referred to as Claude Skills or Claude Code Skills) — the open community-curated registry of 216,000+ SKILL.md files for Anthropic's Claude Code agent and the wider Claude ecosystem (Claude API, Claude Agent SDK).

Frequently asked questions

How do I install the 13c Metabolic Flux Claude Code skill?

Install via the ClaudSkills desktop app (one click) or copy SKILL.md from the source repository to ~/.claude/skills/13c-metabolic-flux/SKILL.md and restart Claude Code. Both flows are detailed at claudskills.com/install/.

What does the 13c Metabolic Flux skill do?

Is this skill free to install?

Yes. ClaudSkills is an open registry — every skill keeps its source repository's license, and manual install via copy is free. ClaudSkills Pro ($9/mo, $79/yr, or $149 one-time) adds one-click install via the desktop app and a multi-signal Quality Score.

When should I use the 13c Metabolic Flux skill?

Use 13c Metabolic Flux when your Claude Code task falls under the Science & Research category — specifically in the science misc area. Claude Code auto-discovers installed skills and invokes the right one based on the task description, so you can also ask Claude directly (e.g. "use 13c Metabolic Flux" or describe the task and let Claude pick). Browse related skills at /category/science/.
