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 1 host that is neither well-known infrastructure nor declared in the skill's frontmatter: api.platform.opentargets.org.

    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.

    What it found

    • skills/opentargets-database/scripts/query_opentargets.py:18contacts api.platform.opentargets.org
      BASE_URL = "https://api.platform.opentargets.org/api/v4/graphql"

  • 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

This skill provides access to the Open Targets database, a comprehensive resource for drug target information. It allows users to query and retrieve data on targets, diseases, pathways, and potential therapeutic interventions. The database integrates genomic, proteomic, and clinical data to provide insights into biological mechanisms.

When to use it

  • Drug Discovery Research: Identify potential drug targets based on disease association or pathway involvement.
  • Understanding Disease Mechanisms: Explore the genetic and molecular factors contributing to specific diseases.
  • Pathway Analysis: Investigate relationships between genes, proteins, and pathways in biological processes.
  • Target Validation: Evaluate the suitability of a target for therapeutic intervention using Open Targets' evidence scores.

Key capabilities

  • Access to target data including gene names, aliases, and descriptions.
  • Disease association information for each target.
  • Pathway involvement details.
  • Evidence scores assessing target validity.

Example prompts

  • "What are the targets associated with Alzheimer's disease?"
  • "Show me pathways involving the EGFR gene."
  • "Find targets with high evidence scores for treating Parkinson’s disease."
  • “Give me information about the TP53 gene.”

Tips & gotchas

The Open Targets database is vast; be specific in your queries to narrow down results. Understanding basic biological terminology will improve query effectiveness.
