Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00030 | $0.01418 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00015 | $0.00709 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00006 | $0.00284 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00003 | $0.00142 |
Grade B, and why
biomedical-search scanned grade B 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 12d 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.
Reads agent configuration directoriesmediumAgent snooping
.claude/, .codex/, .gemini/ hold keys, settings and other credentials a mod has no legitimate need for.

How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 215 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Biomedical Search
Search across all major biomedical databases (PubMed, bioRxiv, medRxiv, ClinicalTrials.gov, FDA drug labels) simultaneously using natural language queries powered by Valyu's semantic search API.
Why This Skill is Powerful
- No API Parameter Parsing: Just pass natural language queries directly - no need to construct complex search parameters
- Semantic Search: Understands the meaning of your query, not just keyword matching
- Full-Text Access: Returns complete content from literature, trials, and drug labels
- Image Links: Includes figures and images when available
- Comprehensive Coverage: Search across PubMed, bioRxiv, medRxiv, clinical trials, and drug labels simultaneously
- Unified Results: Get results from all biomedical sources in a single query
Requirements
- Node.js 18+ (uses built-in fetch)
- Valyu API key from https://platform.valyu.ai ($10 free credits)
CRITICAL: Script Path Resolution
The scripts/search commands in this documentation are relative to this skill's installation directory.
Before running any command, locate the script using:
BIOMEDICAL_SCRIPT=$(find ~/.claude/plugins/cache -name "search" -path "*/biomedical-search/*/scripts/*" -type f 2>/dev/null | head -1)
Then use the full path for all commands:
$BIOMEDICAL_SCRIPT "CAR-T cell therapy" 20
API Key Setup Flow
When you run a search and receive "setup_required": true, follow this flow:
-
Ask the user for their API key: "To search biomedical databases, I need your Valyu API key. Get one free ($10 credits) at https://platform.valyu.ai"
-
Once the user provides the key, run:
scripts/search setup <api-key> -
Retry the original search.
When to Use This Skill
- Complete biomedical information gathering
- Clinical research combined with basic science
- Finding trials, literature, and official drug info together
- Evidence-based medicine research
- Disease understanding from multiple angles
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.
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.

biomedical-search is a skill published in the GitHub repository yorkeccak/scientific-skills (61 stars, last pushed 7mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 30 tokens to every session and 1,418 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it B with 1 finding (reads agent configuration directories). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
