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 2 hosts that are neither well-known infrastructure nor declared in the skill's frontmatter: api.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov, eutils.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 ovachiever/droid-tings at 7acd12a754.

    The exact upstream commit SHA that was scanned is recorded, so the result refers to specific bytes.

About this skill

What it does

The ovachiever-gene-database skill provides access to a database of genetic information. It allows users to query this database for specific genes, retrieve related data like protein sequences and descriptions, and perform basic analysis on the retrieved information. This skill is designed to be a resource for researchers and anyone needing quick access to gene-related details.

When to use it

  • Researching a specific gene: Quickly find detailed information about a particular gene's function and properties.
  • Understanding protein sequences: Retrieve amino acid sequences associated with genes of interest.
  • Exploring genetic relationships: Investigate connections between different genes based on shared characteristics or pathways.
  • Building bioinformatics tools: Integrate the database into custom applications for automated analysis.

Key capabilities

  • Gene query by name/ID
  • Protein sequence retrieval
  • Gene description access
  • Basic data analysis (implied)

Example prompts

  • "What is the protein sequence for gene BRCA1?"
  • "Describe the function of the TP53 gene."
  • "Find genes related to Alzheimer's disease."

Tips & gotchas

The skill’s effectiveness depends on the completeness and accuracy of the underlying genetic database. Results should always be verified with other reputable sources for critical research applications.
