lifesciences-research: Skill for Claude Code

.claude/skills/lifesciences-graph-builder/SKILL.md

lifesciences-graph-builder is a skill for Claude Code from donbr/lifesciences-research. It costs 104 tokens per session (2,397 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow for building life-sciences knowledge graphs: connected records that represent genes, proteins, drugs, diseases, and biological relationships.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to explore biological connections, investigate possible drug repurposing, validate drug-target or disease links, and build graphs from sources such as HGNC, UniProt, ChEMBL, STRING, Open Targets, and WikiPathways.
Why use it?
It combines several biology databases and separates verified records from relationship links, helping organize scattered research data into connected evidence. The graph is then saved to Graphiti for later use.

These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →

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

lifesciences-graph-builder 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 11d 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.

Makes network callslowCapability

Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.

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.

lifesciences-graph-builder is a skill published in the GitHub repository donbr/lifesciences-research (7 stars, last pushed 8d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 104 tokens to every session and 2,397 once invoked, about $0.0005 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 2026-08-31.
