drugbank-database

drugbank-database is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from thesecondfox/skill. It costs 84 tokens per session (1,911 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of drugbank-database, MIT.

A connection to DrugBank, a database of medicines and experimental drugs with information about their properties, targets, interactions, and pharmacology.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to download and parse DrugBank data, look up drug details, examine drug targets and pathways, and study drug interactions.
Why use it?
It helps gather drug information programmatically and supports consistent analysis across many pharmaceutical records.

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

drugbank-database scanned grade A with 0 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 3d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/drugbank_helper.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.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

DrugBank Database

Overview

DrugBank is a comprehensive bioinformatics and cheminformatics database containing detailed information on drugs and drug targets. This skill enables programmatic access to DrugBank data including ~9,591 drug entries (2,037 FDA-approved small molecules, 241 biotech drugs, 96 nutraceuticals, and 6,000+ experimental compounds) with 200+ data fields per entry.

Core Capabilities

1. Data Access and Authentication

Download and access DrugBank data using Python with proper authentication. The skill provides guidance on:

  • Installing and configuring the drugbank-downloader package
  • Managing credentials securely via environment variables or config files
  • Downloading specific or latest database versions
  • Opening and parsing XML data efficiently
  • Working with cached data to optimize performance

When to use: Setting up DrugBank access, downloading database updates, initial project configuration.

Reference: See references/data-access.md for detailed authentication, download procedures, API access, caching strategies, and troubleshooting.

2. Drug Information Queries

Extract comprehensive drug information from the database including identifiers, chemical properties, pharmacology, clinical data, and cross-references to external databases.

Query capabilities:

  • Search by DrugBank ID, name, CAS number, or keywords
  • Extract basic drug information (name, type, description, indication)
  • Retrieve chemical properties (SMILES, InChI, molecular formula)
  • Get pharmacology data (mechanism of action, pharmacodynamics, ADME)
  • Access external identifiers (PubChem, ChEMBL, UniProt, KEGG)
  • Build searchable drug datasets and export to DataFrames
  • Filter drugs by type (small molecule, biotech, nutraceutical)

When to use: Retrieving specific drug information, building drug databases, pharmacology research, literature review, drug profiling.

Reference: See references/drug-queries.md for XML navigation, query functions, data extraction methods, and performance optimization.

What ships with it

6 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.
