# DOE Releases Genesis AI Research Tools

The U.S. Department of Energy released Genesis Agent Skills, a free GitLab collection of workflows and guidance for using AI coding tools in scientific research. Developed by the ModCon BASE team, the collection covers AI safety, evaluation, data governance, and multi-agent systems, and invites public contributions. It is not a solicitation or contract award, but it signals DOE’s priorities for AI-enabled science and may point to future needs in research infrastructure implementation, integration, and support.

- Contractors can review the collection and assess where their AI, data governance, evaluation, or research-infrastructure capabilities could support DOE’s Genesis Mission.
- Organizations may contribute to the public collection; the release itself does not establish a procurement requirement or a funded opportunity.
- Companies pursuing future work should distinguish this technology-priority signal from an active acquisition and look for specific implementation or support opportunities as the Genesis Mission develops.
