Unified Python interface to 40+ bioinformatics web services: UniProt proteins, KEGG pathways, ChEMBL/ChEBI/PubChem, BLAST, cross-database ID mapping, GO annotations, PPI.

  • Works in 6 steps: Protein Analysis (UniProt) → Pathway Discovery (KEGG) → Compound Databases (ChEMBL, ChEBI,… → …
  • Tasks that involve Bioinformatics
  • SKILL.md covers Overview, When to Use, Prerequisites and Quick Start, plus 8 more sections

What it does

Bioservices Multi Database is an agent skill from jaechang-hits/SciAgent-Skills. Unified Python interface to 40+ bioinformatics web services: UniProt proteins, KEGG pathways, ChEMBL/ChEBI/PubChem, BLAST, cross-database ID mapping, GO annotations, PPI. For deep single-DB queries use dedicated tools (gget for Ensembl, pubchempy for PubChem); bioservices excels at cross-database workflows.

Its SKILL.md is about 6.1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 3 other files, including reference files (for example `references/identifier_mapping_guide.md` and `references/services_catalog.md`).

It sits in Research & Science, covering Bioinformatics and Excel spreadsheets. It works with UniProt, Ensembl and Python. The repository describes itself as: 197 bioinformatics & life science skills for Claude Code and AI agents — BixBench 92.0% accuracy. RNA-seq, single-cell, drug discovery, proteomics, and more. Powers OmicsHorizon.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Bioinformatics
  • Tasks that involve Excel spreadsheets

Example prompts

  • “/bioservices-multi-database”

Requirements

  • Python 3

Workflow steps

6 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Protein Analysis (UniProt)
  2. Pathway Discovery (KEGG)
  3. Compound Databases (ChEMBL, ChEBI, UniChem, PubChem)
  4. Sequence Analysis (BLAST)
  5. Identifier Mapping
  6. Gene Ontology & Protein Interactions

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 82c862c. 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

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • pip

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

  • Network

    Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):

    • bioservices.readthedocs.io
    • github.com
    • uniprot.org
    • kegg.jp
    • ebi.ac.uk

    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

Bioservices Multi Database loads about 6.1k tokens when it runs, and up to ~12k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 84 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,170 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~84
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~6.1k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~12k

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.

SKILL.md

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 1,170 words (~6,095 tokens).

“BioServices provides a unified Python interface to 40+ bioinformatics web services including UniProt, KEGG, ChEMBL, ChEBI, PubChem, UniChem, PSICQUIC, QuickGO, and BLAST. Each service is accessed through a consistent object-oriented API with built-in caching, rate limiting, and output format handling.”
