At a glance

Query the DrugMechDB drug mechanism-of-action database. An agent skill from QSong-github/DrugClaw.

  • The user asks about drug mechanisms
  • SKILL.md covers Data, Entity auto-detection, API and Node types (14), plus 2 more sections
  • Runs Python scripts from its folder
  • Drug-to-disease paths

What it does

Drugmechdb Query is an agent skill from QSong-github/DrugClaw. Query the DrugMechDB drug mechanism-of-action database. Use whenever the user asks about drug mechanisms, drug-to-disease paths, biological targets of a drug, or wants to look up any biomedical entity (drug name, protein, disease, DrugBank ID, MESH ID, UniProt ID, GO term, etc.) in DrugMechDB.

Its SKILL.md is about 730 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 5 other files (for example `README.md`, `__init__.py` and `drugmechdb_skill.py`).

It sits in Research & Science. It works with UniProt. The repository describes itself as: 🦀 Agentic RAG for drug intelligence · 57 skills · 15 task categories · DTI · ADR · DDI · PGx · Repurposing · Powered by LangGraph.

When your agent uses it

  • The user asks about drug mechanisms
  • Drug-to-disease paths
  • Biological targets of a drug
  • Wants to look up any biomedical entity (drug name

Example prompts

  • “/drugmechdb-query”

Requirements

  • Python 3

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit bc7b93e. 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.

    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

Drugmechdb Query loads about 734 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 78 tokens; SKILL.md has 195 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~78
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~734

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

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 195 words (~734 tokens).

“Search drug mechanism-of-action paths by entity name or ID. Each path is a directed graph: Drug → (intermediates) → Disease, with typed nodes and labeled edges.”
