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: pubchem.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov.

    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.

About this skill

What it does

This skill provides access to the PubChem database, a comprehensive resource of chemical molecules and their activities. It allows you to retrieve information such as chemical structures, properties (like molecular weight or melting point), safety data, and biological activity data associated with specific compounds. You can use this skill for research, analysis, or generating reports related to chemistry and related fields.

When to use it

  • Chemical Identification: Identify a compound given its name or CAS registry number.
  • Property Lookup: Find the molecular weight, melting point, or other properties of a specific chemical.
  • Safety Data Retrieval: Obtain safety information and hazard classifications for chemicals.
  • Biological Activity Research: Investigate known biological activities associated with particular compounds.

Key capabilities

  • Chemical structure retrieval
  • Property data access (molecular weight, melting point, etc.)
  • Safety data lookup
  • Biological activity data access
  • CAS registry number search

Example prompts

  • "What is the molecular weight of aspirin?"
  • "Find safety information for ethanol."
  • "Retrieve the chemical structure and biological activities associated with caffeine."
  • "Give me properties for compound with CAS registry number 50-00-0."

Tips & gotchas

The skill's accuracy depends on the completeness of data within the PubChem database. Be aware that not all chemicals will have complete information available.
