biodiversity-data-guideBiodiversity data access, species occurrence, and ecological tools
Biodiversity Data Guide is an agent skill from wentorai/research-plugins. Biodiversity data access, species occurrence, and ecological tools
Its SKILL.md is about 2.2k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
It sits in Backend & APIs. It works with NCBI. The repository describes itself as: 350+ academic research skills, MCP configs, and plugins for Research-Claw and AI agents. The licence is MIT.
6 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit bf44b3c. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are r and python).
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Biodiversity Data Guide loads about 2.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 23 tokens; SKILL.md has 259 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.
The full file from wentorai/research-plugins at commit bf44b3c, republished under its MIT licence (© wentorai). 259 words, ~2,222 tokens.

Biodiversity data access, species occurrence, and ecological tools. Biodiversity Data Guide is an agent skill from wentorai/research-plugins.
Biodiversity Data Guide fits situations like: backend & APIs work in your project.
Run `npx skills add wentorai/research-plugins --skill biodiversity-data-guide -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (skills/domains/ecology/biodiversity-data-guide in wentorai/research-plugins) into .claude/skills/biodiversity-data-guide in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.
Run `npx skills add wentorai/research-plugins --skill biodiversity-data-guide -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (skills/domains/ecology/biodiversity-data-guide in wentorai/research-plugins) into .agents/skills/biodiversity-data-guide in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.
Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add wentorai/research-plugins --skill biodiversity-data-guide -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/biodiversity-data-guide, .gemini/skills/biodiversity-data-guide, .github/skills/biodiversity-data-guide and .opencode/skills/biodiversity-data-guide in your project.
SKILL.md names no scripts, command-line tools or credentials: Biodiversity Data Guide is instructions for the agent only. Our summary lists: Python 3.
SKILL.md contains no URLs. Any network use would come from the scripts or tools the agent runs. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.
Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. Review the folder before installing.
Biodiversity Data Guide is published under the MIT licence (the repository's licence). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.
About 2.2k tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 8.9k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full.

The comparison table on this page puts their stars, adoption, token cost, safety result and licence side by side.
