What it does

Tooluniverse Drug Target Validation is an agent skill from wu-yc/LabClaw. Comprehensive computational validation of drug targets for early-stage drug discovery. Evaluates targets across 10 dimensions (disambiguation, disease association, druggability, chemical matter, clinical precedent, safety, pathway context, validation evidence, structural insights, validation roadmap) using 60+ ToolUniverse tools. Produces a quantitative Target Validation Score (0-100) with GO/NO-GO recommendation. Use when users ask about target validation, druggability assessment, target prioritization, or "is X…

Its SKILL.md is about 9.9k 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 Product & Project Management, covering Feature launches and release readiness, Drug discovery and cheminformatics and Prioritization frameworks. The repository describes itself as: LabClaw – Operating Layer for LabOS (Stanford-Princeton AI Co-Scientists).

When your agent uses it

  • Users ask about target validation
  • Druggability assessment
  • Target prioritization
  • Is X a good drug target for Y?

Example prompts

  • “is X a good drug target for Y?”
  • “/tooluniverse-drug-target-validation”

Requirements

  • Python 3

Workflow steps

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

  1. Target Disambiguation & ID Resolution (ALWAYS FIRST)
  2. Disease Association Evidence (0-30 points)
  3. Druggability Assessment (0-25 points)
  4. Known Modulators & Chemical Matter (Feeds into Phase 2 scoring)
  5. Clinical Precedent (0-15 points)
  6. Safety & Toxicity Considerations (0-20 points)
  7. Pathway Context & Network Analysis
  8. Validation Evidence (0-10 points)
  9. Structural Insights
  10. Literature Deep Dive
  11. Validation Roadmap (Synthesis)

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 Drug Target Validation loads about 9.9k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 145 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,314 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~145
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~9.9k

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 1,314 words (~9,941 tokens).

“Validate drug target hypotheses using multi-dimensional computational evidence before committing to wet-lab work. Produces a quantitative Target Validation Score (0-100) with priority tier classification and GO/NO-GO recommendation.”
