kegg-pathway

kegg-pathway is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from beita6969/ScienceClaw. It costs 76 tokens per session (1,363 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide to querying KEGG, a biology database containing pathway maps, gene annotations, compounds, drugs, and diseases.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to search pathways and genes, map genes to pathways, look up compounds or drugs, inspect diseases, and convert identifiers.
Why use it?
It provides ready-made requests for finding and retrieving biological records without designing the API calls yourself.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

kegg-pathway scanned grade A with 1 finding against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 9d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

kegg-pathway is a skill published in the GitHub repository beita6969/ScienceClaw (898 stars, last pushed 3mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 76 tokens to every session and 1,363 once invoked, about $0.0004 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-03.
