Live repository

Not pinned. Installing fetches whatever the repository holds at the time you run the command.

No human has reviewed this code. The checks below are a static scan of the files at one commit — nobody has run this skill or judged whether it works. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent, so read the source before you install it.

Automated safety checks

scanned

This skill passed all 6 checks. We read its files at one commit and looked for the things that make a skill dangerous to run — not for whether it works.

  • Declares what it does: passed

    SKILL.md parses and declares a name and a description.

    SKILL.md exists, its frontmatter parses, and it declares a name and a description.

  • No undeclared network calls: passed

    Makes no network calls.

    Every host the skill dials — from its scripts, its config endpoints or the commands it tells the agent to run — is either well-known package and API infrastructure or declared in its own frontmatter. Links in documentation are not counted.

  • No obfuscated payloads: passed

    No encoded or obfuscated payloads.

    No base64, hex or compressed blob is decoded and then executed, and no encoded shell commands.

  • No credential access: passed

    Reads no keys, tokens, keychains or credential files.

    Neither the code nor the SKILL.md instructions read SSH keys, cloud credentials, keychains, token stores, browser cookie databases or dotfiles that hold secrets.

  • No pipe-to-shell installers: passed

    No pipe-to-shell or download-and-run installers.

    No `curl … | sh` pattern, in the code or in the instructions, that runs code fetched at run time.

  • Pinned to a commit: passed

    Scanned jackspace/claudeskillz at aef4e299d1.

    The exact upstream commit SHA that was scanned is recorded, so the result refers to specific bytes.

This is a static scan, not a review. It reads the skill's files; it does not run them, and it cannot tell you whether the skill is any good or whether the code does what its description says. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent.

About this skill

What it does

This skill provides access to the KEGG (Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes) database. It allows you to query this comprehensive resource of biological pathways, genomes, and associated data. You can retrieve information about specific genes, compounds, or metabolic processes within KEGG's curated knowledge base.

When to use it

  • Researching a gene: Ask the agent for details on a specific gene’s function and its involvement in known pathways.
  • Understanding metabolic pathways: Explore how different molecules interact within a particular biological process, like glycolysis or the citric acid cycle.
  • Identifying drug targets: Investigate potential therapeutic targets by examining genes and proteins involved in disease-related pathways.
  • Analyzing genomic data: Gain insights from genomic datasets by mapping gene sequences to KEGG pathway annotations.

Key capabilities

  • Access to KEGG database information
  • Gene queries
  • Pathway exploration
  • Genome analysis

Example prompts

  • "What is the function of gene BRCA1 according to KEGG?"
  • "Show me the metabolic pathway for glycolysis in humans."
  • "Can you tell me about the KEGG pathway associated with Alzheimer's disease?"

Tips & gotchas

KEGG uses specific identifiers (e.g., gene names, compound IDs). Ensure you provide accurate and complete identifiers to retrieve relevant information from the database.
