reactome-database

reactome-database is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from synthetic-sciences/openscience. It costs 35 tokens per session (1,795 once invoked), scanned B, original, Apache-2.0.

A connection to Reactome, a curated database of biological pathways that shows how genes and proteins participate in cell processes.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to map genes to pathways, find disease-related processes, study gene-expression results, and inspect molecular reactions or interactions.
Why use it?
It removes the need to collect pathway information manually or build API requests from scratch. It helps turn gene or protein lists into pathway-level results.

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 B, and why

reactome-database scanned grade B 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 4d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/reactome_query.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

A POST to an outside endpoint may be telemetry or may be exfiltration; either way the mod talks to somewhere, and you should know where.

Reactome Database

Overview

Reactome is a free, open-source, curated pathway database with 2,825+ human pathways. Query biological pathways, perform overrepresentation and expression analysis, map genes to pathways, explore molecular interactions via REST API and Python client for systems biology research.

When to Use This Skill

This skill should be used when:

  • Performing pathway enrichment analysis on gene or protein lists
  • Analyzing gene expression data to identify relevant biological pathways
  • Querying specific pathway information, reactions, or molecular interactions
  • Mapping genes or proteins to biological pathways and processes
  • Exploring disease-related pathways and mechanisms
  • Visualizing analysis results in the Reactome Pathway Browser
  • Conducting comparative pathway analysis across species

Core Capabilities

Reactome provides two main API services and a Python client library:

1. Content Service - Data Retrieval

Query and retrieve biological pathway data, molecular interactions, and entity information.

Common operations:

  • Retrieve pathway information and hierarchies
  • Query specific entities (proteins, reactions, complexes)
  • Get participating molecules in pathways
  • Access database version and metadata
  • Explore pathway compartments and locations

API Base URL: https://reactome.org/ContentService

2. Analysis Service - Pathway Analysis

Perform computational analysis on gene lists and expression data.

Analysis types:

  • Overrepresentation Analysis: Identify statistically significant pathways from gene/protein lists
  • Expression Data Analysis: Analyze gene expression datasets to find relevant pathways
  • Species Comparison: Compare pathway data across different organisms

API Base URL: https://reactome.org/AnalysisService

3. reactome2py Python Package

Python client library that wraps Reactome API calls for easier programmatic access.

Installation:

uv pip install reactome2py

What ships with it

2 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.

reactome-database is a skill published in the GitHub repository synthetic-sciences/openscience (3,501 stars, last pushed today), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 35 tokens to every session and 1,795 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it B with 2 findings (sends data to an external url, makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-03.
