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 passed all 6 checks. We read its files at one commit and looked for the things that make a skill dangerous to run — not for whether it works.

  • 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 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 moosegoose0701/skill-compose at f8bf8cab69.

    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 PubMed database, a comprehensive resource for biomedical literature. It allows AI agents to search and retrieve information from millions of journal articles, abstracts, and related resources. The agent can use this data for research summaries, answering medical questions, or identifying relevant publications.

When to use it

  • Literature Reviews: Quickly gather background information on a specific disease or treatment.
  • Medical Question Answering: Find answers to clinical questions by searching through published research.
  • Research Summarization: Extract key findings from multiple PubMed articles related to a topic.
  • Identifying Relevant Publications: Discover papers based on keywords, authors, or journal titles.

Key capabilities

  • PubMed database access
  • Search functionality
  • Retrieval of article abstracts and metadata
  • Filtering by publication date, journal, and other criteria (implied)

Example prompts

  • "Find me the latest research on Alzheimer's disease."
  • "What are the common treatments for hypertension according to recent publications?"
  • "Search PubMed for articles published in The New England Journal of Medicine about COVID-19."

Tips & gotchas

The skill relies on a stable internet connection to access and query the PubMed database. Be aware that search results can be extensive, so refining prompts with specific keywords is recommended.
