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 the Open Targets database, a comprehensive resource for drug target identification and prioritization. It allows you to query information about diseases, genes, pathways, and potential therapeutic targets, including evidence supporting their involvement in disease. The data is sourced from multiple scientific sources and curated by experts.

When to use it

  • Researching potential drug targets for a specific disease (e.g., "What are the key genetic drivers of Alzheimer's disease?").
  • Identifying genes associated with a particular pathway or biological process.
  • Exploring evidence supporting a gene as a therapeutic target.
  • Finding information about clinical trials targeting specific genes or pathways.

Key capabilities

  • Disease querying: Retrieve genes and targets associated with diseases.
  • Gene querying: Find disease associations for a given gene.
  • Pathway analysis: Explore pathways related to diseases or genes.
  • Target prioritization: Access evidence scores and rankings of potential therapeutic targets.

Example prompts

  • "What are the Open Targets data findings on the role of TP53 in cancer?"
  • "List genes associated with Parkinson's disease according to the Open Targets database."
  • "Show me the target prioritisation score for STK11 in pancreatic cancer."

Tips & gotchas

The Open Targets database is vast and complex. Be specific with your queries to get relevant results, and understand that evidence scores represent a curated assessment of data from multiple sources.
