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: rest.uniprot.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.

About this skill

What it does

This skill provides access to the UniProt database, a comprehensive resource of protein information. It allows you to retrieve data about proteins, including their sequences, functions, and interactions. The skill can be used to answer questions related to specific proteins or to perform broader analyses of protein datasets.

When to use it

  • Protein Identification: Identify a protein based on its name, accession number, or sequence.
  • Functional Annotation: Determine the function of an unknown protein by querying UniProt for similar sequences with known functions.
  • Research Support: Quickly access and retrieve detailed information about proteins relevant to research projects.
  • Bioinformatics Analysis: Integrate UniProt data into larger bioinformatics workflows and analyses.

Key capabilities

  • Protein sequence retrieval
  • Functional annotation lookup
  • Accession number search
  • Cross-references to other databases

Example prompts

  • "What is the function of protein P01013?"
  • "Find all proteins with 'kinase' in their description."
  • "Give me the amino acid sequence for UniProt accession Q9Y267."

Tips & gotchas

The skill relies on accurate protein identifiers (accession numbers, names). Ensure you provide valid input to get reliable results.
