zinc-database

zinc-database is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from jimmc414/Kosmos. It costs 47 tokens per session (3,508 once invoked), scanned A, original, no licence file.

A database search tool for ZINC, a collection of purchasable chemical compounds used in drug discovery. It supports searches by compound ID or SMILES, similarity searches, 3D structures for docking, and virtual screening.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to locate compounds, find chemical analogues, retrieve docking-ready structures, and support virtual screening or drug-discovery work.
Why use it?
It helps researchers find suitable compounds and compare related molecules without manually searching the full compound collection.

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

zinc-database scanned grade A with 2 findings 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 yesterday.

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.

zinc-database is a skill published in the GitHub repository jimmc414/Kosmos (577 stars, last pushed 5mo ago), with no licence file. It adds 47 tokens to every session and 3,508 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 2 findings (makes network calls, runs shell commands). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-03.
