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.

  • Declares what it does: failed

    No SKILL.md was found in the skill's directory.

    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 microck/ordinary-claude-skills at 1056d293d4.

    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 and querying capabilities for the KEGG (Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes) database. It allows users to retrieve information about biological pathways, genes, proteins, and other molecular entities described within KEGG's curated knowledge base. The skill can be used to explore metabolic networks or identify associated compounds.

When to use it

  • Researching a specific disease pathway: Identify the key genes and proteins involved in a particular disease based on KEGG data.
  • Analyzing drug targets: Determine potential drug targets by examining pathways affected by known compounds within KEGG.
  • Understanding metabolic processes: Investigate how different metabolites interact within a biological system using KEGG's curated pathways.
  • Exploring gene function: Discover the functions of specific genes by linking them to relevant KEGG pathways and associated entities.

Key capabilities

  • Access to KEGG database information
  • Querying for pathway data
  • Retrieval of gene/protein details
  • Identification of metabolic compounds

Example prompts

  • "What is the KEGG pathway ID for glycolysis?"
  • "Show me all genes involved in the 'Citrate Cycle' pathway."
  • “Find information about compound HMB (beta-hydroxybutyrate) in KEGG.”

Tips & gotchas

KEGG database terminology can be specialized. Familiarity with basic biological concepts and KEGG nomenclature will improve query results.
