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 ovachiever/droid-tings at 7acd12a754.

    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 of biomedical literature. It allows AI agents to search and retrieve information from millions of journal articles, including abstracts and full-text content. The agent can use this data to answer medical questions, summarize research findings, or identify relevant publications for further investigation.

When to use it

  • Medical Research: Quickly find studies related to a specific disease, treatment, or gene.
  • Literature Reviews: Gather information from multiple sources to support a scientific argument.
  • Patient Information: Provide patients with summaries of medical conditions and available treatments (with appropriate disclaimers).
  • Drug Discovery: Identify potential drug targets and analyze existing research on related compounds.

Key capabilities

  • PubMed search functionality
  • Access to abstracts and full-text articles
  • Retrieval of publication details (authors, journal, date)
  • Search filtering by keywords, dates, and article types

Example prompts

  • "Find me the latest research on Alzheimer's disease."
  • "Summarize studies about the effectiveness of metformin for diabetes."
  • "What are the potential side effects of ibuprofen?"

Tips & gotchas

  • PubMed search queries can be complex; using precise keywords and filters will improve results.
  • Access to full-text articles may require institutional subscriptions or individual purchase.
