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 jimmc414/kosmos at 6cfe7f690d.

    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 activity. It allows users to query this database for information such as compound properties, safety data, related compounds, and biological activities. The skill can be used to retrieve specific chemical information or perform broader searches based on various criteria.

When to use it

  • Chemical Research: Find detailed information about a specific molecule for research purposes.
  • Safety Assessment: Quickly access safety data sheets (SDS) and hazard information for chemicals.
  • Drug Discovery: Identify potential drug candidates by searching for compounds with desired biological activities.
  • Material Science: Retrieve properties of materials based on their chemical composition.

Key capabilities

  • Compound property retrieval
  • Safety Data Sheet (SDS) access
  • Related compound identification
  • Biological activity search

Example prompts

  • "What are the physical properties of aspirin?"
  • "Find the SDS for ethanol."
  • "Show me compounds similar to ibuprofen."
  • “Search PubChem for molecules with anti-inflammatory activity.”

Tips & gotchas

The skill relies on the accuracy and completeness of the PubChem database. Results may vary depending on the specificity of the query and data availability.
