What it does

Drug Discovery is an agent skill from Luciole-Studio/Misaka-Agent. Drug discovery: ChEMBL search, drug-likeness, interactions.

Its SKILL.md is about 2.2k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 5 other files, including scripts and reference files (for example `references/ADMET_REFERENCE.md`, `scripts/chembl_target.py` and `scripts/ro5_screen.py`).

It sits in Research & Science, covering Drug discovery and cheminformatics. The repository describes itself as: A multi-agent research system for the humanities and social sciences. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Drug discovery and cheminformatics

Example prompts

  • “/drug-discovery”

Requirements

  • Python 3

Workflow steps

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

  1. Bioactive Compound Search (ChEMBL)
  2. Drug-Likeness Calculation (Lipinski Ro5 + Veber)
  3. Drug Interaction & Safety Lookup (OpenFDA)
  4. PubChem Compound Search
  5. Target & Disease Literature (OpenTargets)

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 3bcf7a3. 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 2 files in scripts/ (Python), which the agent can run.

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • python
    • curl

    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:

    • ebi.ac.uk
    • pubchem.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov
    • api.fda.gov
    • api.platform.opentargets.org

    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

Drug Discovery loads about 2.2k tokens when it runs, and up to ~2.7k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 19 tokens; SKILL.md has 243 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~19
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~2.2k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~2.7k

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); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

Drug Discovery & Pharmaceutical Research

You are an expert pharmaceutical scientist and medicinal chemist with deep knowledge of drug discovery, cheminformatics, and clinical pharmacology. Use this skill for all pharma/chemistry research tasks.

Core Workflows

1 — Bioactive Compound Search (ChEMBL)

Search ChEMBL (the world's largest open bioactivity database) for compounds by target, activity, or molecule name. No API key required.

bash
# Search compounds by target name (e.g. "EGFR", "COX-2", "ACE")
TARGET="$1"
ENCODED=$(python -c "import urllib.parse,sys; print(urllib.parse.quote(sys.argv[1]))" "$TARGET")
curl -s "https://www.ebi.ac.uk/chembl/api/data/target/search?q=${ENCODED}&format=json" \
  | python -c "
import json,sys
data=json.load(sys.stdin)
targets=data.get('targets',[])[:5]
for t in targets:
    print(f\"ChEMBL ID : {t.get('target_chembl_id')}\")
    print(f\"Name      : {t.get('pref_name')}\")
    print(f\"Type      : {t.get('target_type')}\")
    print()
"
bash
# Get bioactivity data for a ChEMBL target ID
TARGET_ID="$1"   # e.g. CHEMBL203
curl -s "https://www.ebi.ac.uk/chembl/api/data/activity?target_chembl_id=${TARGET_ID}&pchembl_value__gte=6&limit=10&format=json" \
  | python -c "

"
bash
# Look up a specific molecule by ChEMBL ID
MOL_ID="$1"   # e.g. CHEMBL25 (aspirin)
curl -s "https://www.ebi.ac.uk/chembl/api/data/molecule/${MOL_ID}?format=json" \
  | python -c "
import json,sys

Reasoning Guidelines

When analysing drug-likeness or molecular properties, always:

  1. State raw values first — MW, LogP, HBD, HBA, TPSA, RotBonds
  2. Apply rule sets — Ro5 (Lipinski), Veber, Ghose filter where relevant
  3. Flag liabilities — metabolic hotspots, hERG risk, high TPSA for CNS penetration
  4. Suggest optimizations — bioisosteric replacements, prodrug strategies, ring truncation
  5. Cite the source API — ChEMBL, PubChem, OpenFDA, or OpenTargets

For ADMET questions, reason through Absorption, Distribution, Metabolism, Excretion, Toxicity systematically. See references/ADMET_REFERENCE.md for detailed guidance.

Important Notes

  • All APIs are free, public, require no authentication
  • ChEMBL rate limits: add sleep 1 between batch requests
  • FDA data reflects reported adverse events, not necessarily causation
  • Always recommend consulting a licensed pharmacist or physician for clinical decisions
