Target Disease Research is an agent skill from microsoft/ArgusAgent, published by the product's own GitHub organization. Use when researching a biomedical target and disease relationship, mechanism, human evidence, clinical translation, safety, failed programs, competitive trials, or an auditable pharmaceutical decision dossier.
Its SKILL.md is about 480 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files (for example `agents/openai.yaml`).
It sits in Writing & Content, covering Translation. The repository describes itself as: A persistent, reviewed multi-agent runtime for long-horizon research and engineering. The licence is MIT.
7 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 746f76b. 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.
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.
Target Disease Research loads about 477 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 58 tokens; SKILL.md has 206 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.

This skill also uses 1 other file; get the full folder from GitHub.This workflow supports pharmaceutical research and portfolio decisions. It does not diagnose a patient, select treatment, or assert that a new drug was created.
argus-run: call
argus_project_list for the exact work directory, then reuse that project or
call argus_project_create. Do not dispatch while resolving the project.argus_message exactly once with an objective that asks Manager to
select the built-in medical vertical and to produce:
medical/evidence.jsonl, medical/evidence_matrix.csv,
medical/target_disease_memo.md, and medical/review.json.argus-status for later progress or artifact
inspection instead of polling in the same turn.Only describe a dossier as reviewed when Argus returns a Reviewer-certified state. Preserve negative and contradictory evidence.

Run `npx skills add microsoft/ArgusAgent --skill target-disease-research -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (plugins/argus/skills/target-disease-research in microsoft/ArgusAgent) into .claude/skills/target-disease-research in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.
Run `npx skills add microsoft/ArgusAgent --skill target-disease-research -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (plugins/argus/skills/target-disease-research in microsoft/ArgusAgent) into .agents/skills/target-disease-research 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 microsoft/ArgusAgent --skill target-disease-research -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/target-disease-research, .gemini/skills/target-disease-research, .github/skills/target-disease-research and .opencode/skills/target-disease-research in your project.
SKILL.md names no scripts, command-line tools or credentials: Target Disease Research is instructions for the agent only.
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.
Target Disease Research is published under the MIT licence (the repository's licence). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.
About 477 tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 1.9k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full.
