Live repository

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 UniProt database, a comprehensive resource for protein information. It allows agents to retrieve data such as protein sequences, functional annotations, taxonomic classifications, and related literature references. The skill enables querying of this vast biological dataset for specific proteins or groups of proteins.

When to use it

  • Researching Protein Function: When you need detailed information about a particular protein's role in a biological process.
  • Identifying Potential Drug Targets: To find proteins involved in disease pathways and assess their suitability as therapeutic targets.
  • Analyzing Evolutionary Relationships: To compare protein sequences across different species and understand evolutionary connections.
  • Validating Experimental Results: To cross-reference experimental findings with established UniProt data.

Key capabilities

  • Access to UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot and UniProtKB/TrEMBL databases
  • Protein sequence retrieval
  • Functional annotation lookup
  • Taxonomic classification information
  • Literature references related to proteins

Example prompts

  • "What is the function of protein P01013?"
  • "Find all proteins involved in the MAPK signaling pathway."
  • "Give me the sequence for human hemoglobin."
  • “List all proteins with a GO term of ‘apoptosis’."

Tips & gotchas

  • UniProt identifiers (like P01013) are essential for precise queries. Using ambiguous terms may return too many results.
