What it does

Tooluniverse Target Research is an agent skill from wu-yc/LabClaw. Gather comprehensive biological target intelligence from 9 parallel research paths covering protein info, structure, interactions, pathways, expression, variants, drug interactions, and literature. Features collision-aware searches, evidence grading (T1-T4), explicit Open Targets coverage, and mandatory completeness auditing. Use when users ask about drug targets, proteins, genes, or need target validation, druggability assessment, or comprehensive target profiling.

Its SKILL.md is about 13k 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. It works with Ensembl and UniProt. The repository describes itself as: LabClaw – Operating Layer for LabOS (Stanford-Princeton AI Co-Scientists).

When your agent uses it

Users ask about drug targets
Need target validation
Druggability assessment
Comprehensive target profiling

Example prompts

“/tooluniverse-target-research”

Requirements

Python 3

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 these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:
- DISGENET_API_KEY
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Tooluniverse Target Research loads about 13k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 125 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,253 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~125
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~13k

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 1,253 words (~12,873 tokens).

“Gather complete target intelligence by exploring 9 parallel research paths. Supports targets identified by gene symbol, UniProt accession, Ensembl ID, or gene name.”
