What it does

Drug Labels Search is an agent skill from wu-yc/LabClaw. Search FDA drug labels with natural language queries. Official drug information, indications, and safety data via Valyu.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.2k 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. The repository describes itself as: LabClaw – Operating Layer for LabOS (Stanford-Princeton AI Co-Scientists). The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Research & Science work in your project

Example prompts

  • “/drug-labels-search”

Requirements

  • Python 3
  • Node.js

Workflow steps

2 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Node.js 18+ (uses built-in fetch)
  2. Valyu API key from https://platform.valyu.ai ($10 free credits)

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit df37802. 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:

    • jq

    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:

    • api.valyu.ai
    • fda.gov

    Also links to:

    • platform.valyu.ai
    • docs.valyu.ai

    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 Labels Search loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 35 tokens; SKILL.md has 321 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~35
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.2k

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.

description
Search FDA drug labels with natural language queries. Official drug information, indications, and safety data via Valyu.
keywords
fda-drug-labels, drug-safety, indications, pharmacology, drug-interactions, semantic-search
license
MIT

Search the complete FDA drug labels database including prescribing information, warnings, and official labeling using natural language queries powered by Valyu's semantic search API.

Why This Skill is Powerful

  • No API Parameter Parsing: Just pass natural language queries directly - no need to construct complex search parameters
  • Semantic Search: Understands the meaning of your query, not just keyword matching
  • Full-Text Access: Returns complete drug label information including indications, dosing, warnings, and adverse reactions
  • Image Links: Includes label images when available
  • Comprehensive Coverage: Access to all FDA drug label data

Requirements

  1. Node.js 18+ (uses built-in fetch)
  2. Valyu API key from https://platform.valyu.ai ($10 free credits)

CRITICAL: Script Path Resolution

The scripts/search commands in this documentation are relative to this skill's installation directory.

Before running any command, locate the script using:

bash
DRUG_LABELS_SCRIPT=$(find ~/.claude/plugins/cache -name "search" -path "*/drug-labels-search/*/scripts/*" -type f 2>/dev/null | head -1)

Then use the full path for all commands:

bash
$DRUG_LABELS_SCRIPT "ibuprofen warnings" 15

API Key Setup Flow

When you run a search and receive "setup_required": true, follow this flow:

  1. Ask the user for their API key: "To search FDA drug labels, I need your Valyu API key. Get one free ($10 credits) at https://platform.valyu.ai"

  2. Once the user provides the key, run:

    bash
    scripts/search setup <api-key>
  3. Retry the original search.

When to Use This Skill

  • Official FDA drug information and indications
  • Contraindications and warnings
  • Dosage and administration guidance
  • Clinical pharmacology data
  • Drug interaction information
  • Adverse reactions and safety monitoring

Adding to Your Project

If you're building an AI project and want to integrate Drug Labels Search directly into your application, use the Valyu SDK:

Python Integration
python
from valyu import Valyu

client = Valyu(api_key="your-api-key")

response = client.search(
    query="your search query here",
    included_sources=["valyu/valyu-drug-labels"],
    max_results=20
)

for result in response["results"]:
    print(f"Title: {result['title']}")
    print(f"URL: {result['url']}")
    print(f"Content: {result['content'][:500]}...")
TypeScript Integration
typescript
import { Valyu } from "valyu-js";

const client = new Valyu("your-api-key");

const response = await client.search({
  query: "your search query here",
  includedSources: ["valyu/valyu-drug-labels"],
  maxResults: 20
});

response.results.forEach((result) => {
  console.log(`Title: ${result.title}`);
  console.log(`URL: ${result.url}`);
  console.log(`Content: ${result.content.substring(0, 500)}...`);
});

See the Valyu docs for full integration examples and SDK reference.
