Comprehensive metabolomics research skill for identifying metabolites, analyzing studies, and searching metabolomics databases.

  • Works in 4 steps: Metabolite Identification & Annotation → Study Details Retrieval → Study Search → …
  • Asked to identify
  • SKILL.md covers Use Case, Databases Covered, Research Workflow and Usage Patterns, plus 5 more sections
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Tooluniverse Metabolomics is an agent skill from wu-yc/LabClaw. Comprehensive metabolomics research skill for identifying metabolites, analyzing studies, and searching metabolomics databases. Integrates HMDB (220k+ metabolites), MetaboLights, Metabolomics Workbench, and PubChem. Use when asked to identify or annotate metabolites (HMDB IDs, chemical properties, pathways), retrieve metabolomics study information from MetaboLights (MTBLS) or Metabolomics Workbench (ST), search for studies by keywords or disease, or generate comprehensive metabolomics research reports.

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

When your agent uses it

  • Asked to identify
  • Annotate metabolites (HMDB IDs
  • Chemical properties
  • Retrieve metabolomics study information from MetaboLights (MTBLS)

Example prompts

  • “/tooluniverse-metabolomics”

Requirements

  • Python 3

Workflow steps

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

  1. Metabolite Identification & Annotation
  2. Study Details Retrieval
  3. Study Search
  4. Database Overview

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.

    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 Metabolomics loads about 3k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 134 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,232 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~134
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~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: notes

The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.

  • NoteMentions a .env fileSKILL.md:224
    env.template`, add required API keys to `.env` file (most metabolomics tools work without keys)

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 1,232 words (~2,966 tokens).

“Comprehensive metabolomics research skill that identifies metabolites, analyzes studies, and searches metabolomics databases. Generates structured research reports with annotated metabolite information, study details, and database statistics.”
