metabolomics-workbench-database

metabolomics-workbench-database is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from CHENyiru3/AI-Skills-Collections. It costs 53 tokens per session (2,508 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of metabolomics-workbench-database, MIT.

A connection to the NIH Metabolomics Workbench, a research database of metabolite measurements and related study information. It provides access to metabolite names, structures, mass spectrometry and NMR data, and study details.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps find metabolites by identifiers or mass, standardize their names, retrieve study data, and examine links between metabolites, genes, and proteins.
Why use it?
It avoids manually searching separate scientific databases when investigating metabolites or biomarker research.

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

metabolomics-workbench-database 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 6d 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.

Metabolomics Workbench Database

Overview

The Metabolomics Workbench is a comprehensive NIH Common Fund-sponsored platform hosted at UCSD that serves as the primary repository for metabolomics research data. It provides programmatic access to over 4,200 processed studies (3,790+ publicly available), standardized metabolite nomenclature through RefMet, and powerful search capabilities across multiple analytical platforms (GC-MS, LC-MS, NMR).

When to Use This Skill

This skill should be used when querying metabolite structures, accessing study data, standardizing nomenclature, performing mass spectrometry searches, or retrieving gene/protein-metabolite associations through the Metabolomics Workbench REST API.

Core Capabilities

1. Querying Metabolite Structures and Data

Access comprehensive metabolite information including structures, identifiers, and cross-references to external databases.

Key operations:

  • Retrieve compound data by various identifiers (PubChem CID, InChI Key, KEGG ID, HMDB ID, etc.)
  • Download molecular structures as MOL files or PNG images
  • Access standardized compound classifications
  • Cross-reference between different metabolite databases

Example queries:

import requests

# Get compound information by PubChem CID
response = requests.get('https://www.metabolomicsworkbench.org/rest/compound/pubchem_cid/5281365/all/json')

# Download molecular structure as PNG
response = requests.get('https://www.metabolomicsworkbench.org/rest/compound/regno/11/png')

# Get compound name by registry number
response = requests.get('https://www.metabolomicsworkbench.org/rest/compound/regno/11/name/json')

2. Accessing Study Metadata and Experimental Results

Query metabolomics studies by various criteria and retrieve complete experimental datasets.

Key operations:

  • Search studies by metabolite, institute, investigator, or title
  • Access study summaries, experimental factors, and analysis details
  • Retrieve complete experimental data in various formats
  • Download mwTab format files for complete study information
  • Query untargeted metabolomics data

Changes

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.

metabolomics-workbench-database is a skill published in the GitHub repository CHENyiru3/AI-Skills-Collections (1 stars, last pushed 7d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 53 tokens to every session and 2,508 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (makes network calls). It is 83% identical to metabolomics-workbench-database, differing in 11 lines, and is treated as a copy.
