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 failed 1 of 6 checks. A failure is not proof of bad intent; it means something in the code needs a human to look at it before you run it.

  • No undeclared network calls: failed

    Contacts 1 host that is neither well-known infrastructure nor declared in the skill's frontmatter: api.platform.opentargets.org.

    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.

  • 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 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 Open Targets database, a comprehensive resource for drug discovery and development. It allows you to query data on disease targets, pathways, and potential therapeutic interventions. You can retrieve information about gene associations with diseases, evidence scores supporting those relationships, and related clinical trials.

When to use it

  • Researching Disease Mechanisms: Investigate the genetic factors contributing to a specific disease.
  • Identifying Drug Targets: Find promising targets for drug development based on their involvement in disease pathways.
  • Analyzing Clinical Trial Data: Gather information about ongoing or completed clinical trials related to particular targets or diseases.
  • Exploring Therapeutic Interventions: Discover potential therapeutic approaches and interventions targeting specific genes or pathways.

Key capabilities

  • Disease target identification
  • Gene-disease associations
  • Evidence scores for relationships
  • Clinical trial data retrieval

Example prompts

  • "What are the top 5 gene targets associated with Alzheimer's disease according to Open Targets?"
  • "Show me clinical trials targeting the EGFR gene."
  • "Find genes linked to Parkinson's disease with a high confidence score in the Open Targets database."

Tips & gotchas

The Open Targets database is vast, so be specific with your queries for more relevant results. Understanding basic genetics and drug discovery terminology will enhance your ability to interpret the data retrieved.
