pubmed-searchSearch PubMed biomedical literature with natural language queries powered by Valyu semantic search.
Pubmed Search is an agent skill from wu-yc/LabClaw. Search PubMed biomedical literature with natural language queries powered by Valyu semantic search. Full-text access, integrate into your AI projects.
Its SKILL.md is about 1.4k 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, covering Academic paper search. It works with PubMed. The repository describes itself as: LabClaw – Operating Layer for LabOS (Stanford-Princeton AI Co-Scientists). The licence is MIT.
2 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit df37802. 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.
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
jqFrom the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:
platform.valyu.aiapi.valyu.aipubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.govAlso links to:
docs.valyu.aiFrom 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.
Pubmed Search loads about 1.4k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 41 tokens; SKILL.md has 286 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.

The scripts/search commands in this documentation are relative to this skill's installation directory.
Before running any command, locate the script using:
PUBMED_SCRIPT=$(find ~/.claude/plugins/cache -name "search" -path "*/pubmed-search/*/scripts/*" -type f 2>/dev/null | head -1)Then use the full path for all commands:
$PUBMED_SCRIPT "CRISPR gene editing" 15When you run a search and receive "setup_required": true, follow this flow:
Ask the user for their API key: "To search PubMed, I need your Valyu API key. Get one free ($10 credits) at https://platform.valyu.ai"
Once the user provides the key, run:
scripts/search setup <api-key>Retry the original search.

If you're building an AI project and want to integrate PubMed search directly into your application, use the Valyu SDK:
from valyu import Valyu
client = Valyu(api_key="your-api-key")
response = client.search(
query="immunotherapy for melanoma",
included_sources=["valyu/valyu-pubmed"],
max_results=20
)
for result in response["results"]:
print(f"Title: {result['title']}")
print(f"URL: {result['url']}")
print(f"Content: {result['content'][:500]}...")import { Valyu } from "valyu-js";
const client = new Valyu("your-api-key");
const response = await client.search({
query: "immunotherapy for melanoma",
includedSources: ["valyu/valyu-pubmed"],
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.

Search PubMed biomedical literature with natural language queries powered by Valyu semantic search. Pubmed Search is an agent skill from wu-yc/LabClaw. Search PubMed biomedical literature with natural language queries powered by Valyu semantic search.
Pubmed Search fits situations like: tasks that involve Academic paper search.
Run `npx skills add wu-yc/LabClaw --skill pubmed-search -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (skills/literature/pubmed-search in wu-yc/LabClaw) into .claude/skills/pubmed-search in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.
Run `npx skills add wu-yc/LabClaw --skill pubmed-search -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (skills/literature/pubmed-search in wu-yc/LabClaw) into .agents/skills/pubmed-search 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 wu-yc/LabClaw --skill pubmed-search -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/pubmed-search, .gemini/skills/pubmed-search, .github/skills/pubmed-search and .opencode/skills/pubmed-search in your project.
Going by SKILL.md and its folder, Pubmed Search needs the command-line tools its instructions call (jq). Our summary lists: Python 3; Node.js.
SKILL.md names 4 domains. In commands or code: platform.valyu.ai, api.valyu.ai and pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov; the agent is likely to contact these when it follows the instructions. As links in the text: docs.valyu.ai. 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.
Pubmed Search is published under the MIT licence (declared in SKILL.md). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.
About 1.4k tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 5.7k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full.
Skills that share tags, products or a category with Pubmed Search: Literature Review (neflibata-feng/MyArxiv-Agent, 126 stars), Citation Management (K-Dense-AI/claude-scientific-writer, 2.4k stars), Citation Management (neflibata-feng/MyArxiv-Agent, 126 stars) and Paper Search (openags/paper-search-mcp, 2.8k stars). The comparison table on this page puts their stars, adoption, token cost, safety result and licence side by side.
