What it does

Target Intelligence Tools is an agent skill from DrugClaw/DrugClaw. Target research workflow guide for building compact drug-target dossiers across protein identity, disease evidence, known drugs, interaction partners, pathways, and variant constraint signals. Use when the user asks for a target brief, target validation snapshot, or a one-file summary of what is known about a gene or protein target.

Its SKILL.md is about 630 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files (for example `templates/target_dossier.py`).

It sits in Research & Science. The repository describes itself as: 💊 AI Research Assistant for Accelerated Drug Discovery. 🦞. The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • The user asks for a target brief
  • Target validation snapshot
  • A one-file summary of what is known about a gene

Example prompts

  • “/target-intelligence-tools”

Requirements

  • Python 3

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Start from the clearest target identifier available.
  2. Resolve the target to stable IDs first.
  3. Pull disease associations, known drugs, pathways, and interaction partners into one markdown dossier.
  4. Keep the output compact and explicit about missing data.
  5. Treat the dossier as a research briefing artifact, not a validated decision report.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 960a6e0. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    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.

  • Runs code

    Ships script files (Python), which the agent can run.

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • python3

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Target Intelligence Tools loads about 629 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 90 tokens; SKILL.md has 222 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~90
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~629

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.

Safety

Auto-check passed

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.

Target Intelligence Tools

Use this skill when the user wants an integrated target brief rather than isolated API hits.

Typical triggers:

  • build a quick dossier for a therapeutic target
  • summarize what is known about a gene or protein target
  • collect disease evidence, known drugs, pathways, and interaction partners in one report
  • prepare a target-validation snapshot before docking, screening, or literature deepening

Environment Check

bash
which python3 || true
python3 - <<'PY'
mods = ["requests"]
for name in mods:
    try:
        __import__(name)
        print(f"{name}: ok")
    except Exception as exc:
        print(f"{name}: missing ({exc})")
PY

If outbound network access is blocked, say so explicitly before claiming the dossier ran.

Bundled Asset

  • templates/target_dossier.py

Preferred Workflow

  1. Start from the clearest target identifier available.
  2. Resolve the target to stable IDs first.
  3. Pull disease associations, known drugs, pathways, and interaction partners into one markdown dossier.
  4. Keep the output compact and explicit about missing data.
  5. Treat the dossier as a research briefing artifact, not a validated decision report.

Quick Start

bash
python3 templates/target_dossier.py \
  --query EGFR \
  --output targets/egfr_dossier.md \
  --summary targets/egfr_dossier.json \
  --detail-json targets/egfr_dossier.detail.json

Output Expectations

Good answers should mention:

  • the exact identifier or query used
  • which stable IDs were resolved
  • how many disease, drug, pathway, and interaction rows were found
  • whether ClinVar or gnomAD constraint signals were available
  • where the markdown dossier and summary JSON were written

For raw UniProt, PDB, ClinVar, gnomAD, Reactome, STRING, or OpenTargets queries, activate bio-db-tools. For public compound and regulatory APIs such as ChEMBL, BindingDB, openFDA, ClinicalTrials.gov, or OpenAlex, activate pharma-db-tools. For local variant-callset summarization before target interpretation, activate variant-analysis-tools.
