At a glance

Retrieves chemical compound information from PubChem and ChEMBL with disambiguation, cross-referencing, and quality assessment.

  • Works in 4 steps: Clarification (When Needed) → Compound Disambiguation → Data Retrieval (Internal) → …
  • Users need chemical data

  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Tooluniverse Chemical Compound Retrieval is an agent skill from wu-yc/LabClaw. Retrieves chemical compound information from PubChem and ChEMBL with disambiguation, cross-referencing, and quality assessment. Creates comprehensive compound profiles with identifiers, properties, bioactivity, and drug information. Use when users need chemical data, drug information, or mention PubChem CID, ChEMBL ID, SMILES, InChI, or compound names.

Its SKILL.md is about 2.3k 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 Drug discovery and cheminformatics. The repository describes itself as: LabClaw – Operating Layer for LabOS (Stanford-Princeton AI Co-Scientists).

When your agent uses it

  • Users need chemical data
  • Drug information
  • Mention PubChem CID

Example prompts

  • “Use the tooluniverse-chemical-compound-retrieval skill to retrieve chemical compound information from PubChem and ChEMBL with disambiguation…”
  • “/tooluniverse-chemical-compound-retrieval”

Requirements

  • Python 3

Workflow steps

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

  1. Clarification (When Needed)
  2. Compound Disambiguation
  3. Data Retrieval (Internal)
  4. Report Compound Profile

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

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are python and markdown).

    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

Tooluniverse Chemical Compound Retrieval loads about 2.3k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 99 tokens; SKILL.md has 526 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~99
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~2.3k

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 526 words (~2,301 tokens).

“Retrieve comprehensive chemical compound data with proper disambiguation and cross-database validation.”
