What it does

Fda Orange Book Query is an agent skill from QSong-github/DrugClaw. Query or inspect the FDA Orange Book - FDA-Approved Drug Products Listing resource for drug-centric tasks with emphasis on drug knowledgebase Use whenever Codex needs the calling pattern, downloadable entrypoint, or example query flow from this skill example script.

Its SKILL.md is about 520 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 `example.py`).

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

  • Codex needs the calling pattern
  • Downloadable entrypoint
  • Example query flow from this skill example script

Example prompts

  • “/fda-orange-book-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.

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • python

    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):

    • accessdata.fda.gov
    • api.fda.gov

    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

Fda Orange Book Query loads about 521 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 72 tokens; SKILL.md has 180 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~72
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~521

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 180 words (~521 tokens).

“Use this file as the compact operator guide for the paired skillexamples script. Prefer reading the Python example itself for exact request parameters, field names, and response handling.”
