KEGG REST API (academic only). An agent skill from jaechang-hits/SciAgent-Skills.
- Works in 7 steps: Database Information — kegg_info → Listing Entries — kegg_list → Keyword Search — kegg_find → …
- Tasks that involve Bioinformatics
- SKILL.md covers Overview, When to Use, Prerequisites and Quick Start, plus 9 more sections
- Calls pip; reaches rest.kegg.jp
What it does
Kegg Database is an agent skill from jaechang-hits/SciAgent-Skills. KEGG REST API (academic only). Pathways, genes, compounds, enzymes, diseases, drugs via 7 ops (info/list/find/get/conv/link/ddi). ID conversion (NCBI/UniProt/PubChem). Use bioservices for multi-DB Python.
Its SKILL.md is about 4.6k 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 Research & Science, covering Bioinformatics and REST APIs. It works with UniProt, Python and NCBI. 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 REST APIs
Example prompts
- “/kegg-database”
Requirements
- Python 3
Workflow steps
7 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
- Database Information — kegg_info
- Listing Entries — kegg_list
- Keyword Search — kegg_find
- Entry Retrieval — kegg_get
- ID Conversion — kegg_conv
- Cross-Referencing — kegg_link
- Drug-Drug Interactions — kegg_ddi
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
Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:
rest.kegg.jp
Also links to:
kegg.jp
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
Kegg Database loads about 4.6k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 55 tokens; SKILL.md has 949 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.
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 949 words (~4,586 tokens).
“KEGG (Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes) is a comprehensive bioinformatics resource for biological pathway analysis, molecular interaction networks, and cross-database ID conversion. Access is via a direct REST API with no authentication — all operations use simple HTTP GET…”
